I had my Mirena inserted about 4 months ago and I have felt like I'm falling apart ever since. I have experienced the following symptoms: numbness/tingling in arms and legs, EXTREME fatigue, depression, anxiety, acne on back, my hair is thinner, bloating, sore stomach, lower back pain, etc. Most recently, I have had a lot of heartburn and my voice is kind of hoarse. Also, when I went to the doctor, they did a urine test and found that I have a trace of blood in my urine. Along with this I feel like I need to pee all the time, but I seem to have no bladder infection. I am fed up with this device and feeling like total crap all of the time. I have no energy and can't seem to get enough sleep. The only thing good about this thing is that I don't have a period. Of course, my doctor swears all of these symptoms can't possibly be due to the Mirena, but I don't see how it could all be coincidental. Please let me know if anyone else is experiencing these weird symptoms like the bladder issue or the heartburn/hoarseness.

I am really hoping someone can help me with the side effect issues I am having after taking Prednisone to cure a tumor on my larynx.. I was on the drug for six months.. taking 60 mg a day. It saved my life and at the same time it was just about to kill me, I am not kidding. The horrible effects it had on my body was really worse than the tumor that was taking my life. It would have almost been easy to die.
But today I'm very grateful for the miracle it did on my throat. I did not have a voice for many years.. today I can sing and that makes it's a great gift.
I was wondering, after being on it for so long and coming off nice and slowly, should my joints be in this much pain? My body aches are horrible.. all the muscles hurt and that never seems to go aways. Is this normal?

I have been on Advair for about 1 month. It has helped my asthma but I am concerned about my throat. Sometimes it is such a strain to speak. At first I thought I was getting laryngitis but then I came to the conclusion that it was a side effect of the Advair. I do not get soar throat symptoms but I am really concerned about the possible damage this drug may have on vocal cords, larynx or the throat in the long term. I just assume go back on an albuterol inhaler which helped my asthma just as well. I have used singulair (the directions say to take at night) but I have to make sure that I'm practically asleep, otheriwise, it makes me sick to my stomach and horrible acid reflux.

I am 62 with adult asthma, GERD and high blood pressure -was under great control with my meds, changed doctors and on first visit he puthad me start taking Advair 100/50 July 2003. I went from mild manner grandmother to an agressive one in less than two weeks; headaches; progressed to being tired all the time, took nap in the morning and afternoon; reflux all the time standing, sitting or laying down; bad taste in mouth; dizzy and small black outs; excessive sinus drainage/congestion; irrated throat; coughing. On 10-22-2003 went back to pulmonery dr for check up, at that time my blood pressure was up had gained 5 pounds and was told my symptoms were not caused by Advair and that he would see me again in 3 months. I stoped Advair on 11-3--2003 and went back to my original meds. I had an appointment with my gastroentrolst 11-5-2003 for the constant reflux, being as I had just had a flex-sig exam 9 months previous he was not concerned just to watch what i was eating and know he did not think it was from the Advair because the Advair should be out of my system after 24 hours. I changed pulmonary doctors and saw my new one on 11-17-2003. He left me on my original meds and said some people do not tolerate the Advair but my asthma, and blood pressure was under control, the reflux, sore throat i still had. Since this time i have had a bladder infection 12-2-2003 (last one i had had was 40 yrs ago) and am now fighting the loss of my voice(since 1-15-2004) I am on a round of an 1000-mg of amoxicillin for infection of the larynx. But was also told by the ENT dr that this would not be caused by Advair.
I was feeling great until I took Advair and now I have no energy, I am drowning in my reflux and fighting infections from who knows where. Thanks for your website it helps me to know that i'm not alone.

I had a mild case of laryngophrayngeal reflux (reflux into the larynx) with no heartburn. My PCP prescribed 20 mg Omeprazole to be taken once a day. I experienced terrible muscle numbness, nausea, gas, burping, fatigue, lightheadness, anxiety and depression. I stopped after 6 days. The symptoms continued. After another 6 days, I had a panic attack and went to the ER. It has been over 20 days since I stopped this awful medication. I still cannot eat normally. I now experience heartburn after almost every meal. I still feel light headed and disconnected with the world. I tracked down the manufacturer of the Omeprazole that I took by asking my pharmacist. The manufacturer's rep wrote up a side effects report for the FDA with my consent. I urge everyone to do the same. You can also contact the FDA directly. This is the only way that we can force the FDA and the drug industry to retest the safety of this drug. Best wishes to all.
