Lawyer symptoms and conditions

Hi there... I came off of Yasmin just 2 weeks ago and thought I should share with you my story since yours is a skin issue. I took Yasmin for 3 years. This past year I would wake up some bumps on my lip.. then on my hands.. then (this is over a period of months) I would wake up and have a slightly swollen lip... this was over the last year or so. I would also get a feeling in my throat, like something was in it and swallowing felt funny.
WELL, 2 weeks ago, I took my bc like I always do, right before I go to bed and my lip starts to tingle and itch.. and in the morning my face was swollen 3x the normal size on on side, mostly at the lips... I couldn't really talk.. it was like those awful photos on google. It was angioedema and can kill you by swelling of the throat. I had also for about a year- an ear issue.. it would sound like I was talking under water and felt like swimmer's ear- related to the swelling I found out later. Turns out I'm allergic. I developed this allergy over the period of time I was exposed.

I just want to say to anyone out there that has FACIAL/LIP SWELLING, or swelling of the hands... GO TO THE ER. It can kill you. I got lucky.. my swelling started slow and after about a year if was full blown. It is not something to mess around with!I was prescribed an epi pen. I developed an allergy to a preservative in it and I'm not an allergen sensitive person. That was just the parms/doctor guess I might add.

The first year I took Yasmin I had numb and tingling toes. and the whole tie I've had on and off leg pain.. no sex drive, that's the truth..definite bloating issues about 6 lbs weight gain, sometimes more without change in diet. I haven't noticed any hair loss thankfully. Migraines. Lots of nausea in the morning, every morning like morning sickness. Car sick even when driving.. not normal! I used to work on an airplane and I never got motion sickness.

I'm now on day 4 of Mirena IUD and I'm having having severe diarrhea and trouble sleeping.. I really, really don't want to get pregnant. Our next step is a vasectomy for the hubby. I'm 25 and I weigh 140 5'10 if that helps. I wasn't an 'at risk' like the pamphlet said.

I am pissed that this drug is given out, my son is in a hospital because of this Biaxin, he has temmors, sweats on hands and feet , blood pressure elevated , cannot talk, nightmares, intense stomach pain, headace, rubbing hands , rubbing face , rubbing head , itching, chest hurts, feet sweats, cannot focus, fear of death, cannot sleep, we do not know if he is going to come out of this, we discontinued the Biaxin 9-22-09 he in lock down and being watched 24hrs. He was on this Biaxin for 6 days. Please do not take this product. The Doctors will defend this product since they get money from the drug companies to push there product. I will be looking for a lawyer!

Wow, I have been on Yasmin for almost 4 years and I never even thought to connect my symptoms with my birth control. This might even be the reason me and my ex broke up. I was really sweet and happy go lucky before getting on the pill. Then around the time I switched birth control when I was 21, I started getting moody all the time and would pick fights with my boyfriend. Little things would send me over the edge. I even had an eating disorder in college because I felt so fat and gained 15 lbs in a year which is a lot for someone who is 5'1 ( I haven't had an eating disorder in a few years though). Recently, I just got tired of feeling so depressed and went to the doctor. He prescribed antidepressants which I hated and stopped taking them after a week. So, then a couple of weeks ago I saw this commercial about side effects on Yasmin and that there was some lawyer talking about suing the company, etc, etc. Well that got me to thinking about it. Maybe it is my birth control that has given me all these problems? Now I think it was because it has been 2 weeks since I stopped taking it and now I feel much better and less bloated. I mean, I woke up this morning went to the gym with a smile on my face for the first time in forever, even had a flat tire and changed it without getting upset before work. Before, I would have had a hissy fit and wrote the whole day off as a loss. So, I recommend talking to your doctor if you start seeing personality changes and weight gain.

I came in here to read about this drug because seen commercial on tv today by a lawyer to call if u have taken this drug because your health could be at serious risk having tremors,Parkinson like symptoms,etc and you could be able to compensated. From what i have read this is an awful drug and hope everything turns out for the best for all of you. God bless each of you!

I just recently about 2 1/2 months ago switched from yaz to the nuvaring. Thank god. I have been struggling the last year with these symptoms: IBS, moodiness, anxiety attacks, palpitations, shortness of breath, headaches, SEVERE stomach cramps, and much much more. It started with taking a ride to the hospital because of what i think may have been an anxiety attack. but at that moment felt like a heart attack. I knew i was too young though. I have since been to my GYN doctor, he told me that it could not be the yaz. But i asked him to switch me anyway to anything else. i have been off for about 2 1/2 months and i feel much better. I don't have to not eat because i know my stomach will cramp. I couldn't even walk up the stairs at wet n wild to a ride because by the time i got to the top my heart would be pounding out of my chest, and everything would be blurry. ...just letting everyone know ...yaz is dangerous...and i do plan on getting a lawyer because yaz never said anything about these complications....

My daughter had the Gardasil shots last year. The school nurse talked to these young girls and told them all the dangers of cancer. It is a scare tactic. Doctors tell you to get the shots as well...makes their offices LOTS of money...the insurance companies presently pay for the shots, and the are very expensive. My daughter passed out w/ the first shot. Never has passed out before. (Do not allow your daughter to drive herself to get this shot...for the adult women..have someone drive you if you choose to have this vaccination, although I would strongly recommend NOT.) My daughter, since she was vaccinated with Gardasil, has had multiple ear infections, warts, strep multiple times, flu-like symptoms multiple times...pretty much the immune system took a nose dive. She never missed school before...was exempt from school exams many times because she was never sick. However, after Gardasil, she has missed many days due to all the sicknesses she has experienced. It has been approx. a year and she hasn't been as sick lately. I am hoping the immune system will get back to what it was before the shots but I strongly recommend NOT getting this vaccination. If my daughter gets worse, I am tempted to contact a lawyer. We might should get a count on the women that have been negatively affected by this and go to D.C. This vaccine should have been researched more. Our daughters should NOT be guinea pigs!!

I had a injection of Kenalog on11/25/2008 since then I bleed for 19 days straight, I notice a white spot and a small indentation with a red spot at the injection site. My doctor refused to listen to my cry for medical needs and even told me his materials to pre form a procedure was expired. I became upset with this and started investigating my drug interaction to learn I had an allergic reaction. I went to him and demanded a MRI. IT was then I learned I had muscle atrophy from a injection of some nature my doctor would get the results and go over them with me. When i asked and basically told him I figured out what happened he became very angry with and such issue and told me I had a mental issue that was incurable and proceeded to call the law on me. I promise since the I have a very large indentation in my right elbow very little muscle left very sensitive very limited use and suffering from major depression over how horrible it looks. And it now is starting to spread to my lower fore arm as well, what can we do. I filed a complaint through the FDA AGAINST THE DOCTOR... ALSO a lawyer here in thr grand rapids area, and my contact the news station to help find answers to WHY SO MANY ARE BEING PHYSICALLY HARMED BY A DOCTOR WE TRUSTED. AND NO REASONS OR EVEN A I'M SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 3 1/2 year old was given Levaquin in a Children's hospital complained of a feeling of bugs crawling all over him, red mottled rash, tiny red bumps on neck and stomach that worsened with every dose, hives, heaviness in chest, itchy, and complained of his ankles hurting..........

My husband took Levaquin for ten days along with Prednisone for a chest infection. On the tenth and last day of the Levaquin, he began having burning in his knees. It then progressed to cramps in his feet, calves, thighs, knees and now his forearms. He has been referred to a neurologist. I plan to go with this information in my hands when I take him tomorrow. He had called the prescribing doctor's nurse and asked if the problems could be caused by the Levaquin since I had read nerve damage as a side effect. He never got a call back about it. He has also had nightmares so bad he kicked my in the middle of the night while having one. He has been in so much pain, he can hardly walk. He has incredible fatigue with other things already. He takes tramadol as a muscle relaxer, but then he can't drive to pulmonary rehab he is supposed to go to three times a week.

I have had Type 1 Diabetes for many years (54) without any complications of the disease - until I had a mild stroke. Which didn't affect me. Now my doctor makes me take Lipitor. From the very start of taking 10mg Lipitor per day, I got muscle cramps and leg twitches whilst in bed; muscle weaknesses; I even got Plantar Fasciitis and now I limp slightly in that foot. Before I took Lipitor I used to sleep like a baby. Lipitor has made me from a relatively healthy person despite having Diabetes to what feels like an old lady at aged 55. I know it is Lipitor as when I stop taking the drug all unpleasant side effects mentioned above cease. The trouble is my doctor won't give my Insulin without Lipitor and I need Insulin to live, of course. So I am forced to take Lipitor. I find that exercise such as a good long walk during the daytime helps; without it (eg in bad weather when I cannot get outside) the effects of Lipitor are much worse. My cholesterol readings and blood pressure are always good (even before the stroke) so why should I have to be almost crippled by Lipitor?

My daughter is 16 and was given Levaquin 500 for a sinus infection. While on the medication she was tired but not much else in the side effect category. Now here we are 4 weeks later and she has acute abdomen pain, extreme fatigue,nausea, a headache, and she has lost 21 lbs in 2 weeks. I took her to the doctor and they ran a cbc, chem 12, urinalysis, and an electrolyte panel. All came back negative. Basically my perfectly healthy little girl is suffering from this. I went back and looked at the Levaquin packet because I know it can sometimes take a few weeks AFTER medications are stopped for side effects to show themselves and of course, all her symptoms are listed.

ok i'm 27 and I've had Mirena almost 5 months now and no periods since end of 2nd month...last few days I have a strange feeling around the area the IUD would be inside like tingles and just bothersome (as if body was trying to expel it or something...hoping i;m no preggo).....Anybody know what is going on?

My son (14 years old) was given levaquin for a sinus and ear infection
2 weeks ago. Around the same time he began practices for his high school baseball team. He complained about his legs being stiff and aching. We assumed it was the intense practices causing his muscles to ache. After a week on the drug, he could barely walk and his knees were swollen. We were very concerned and looked up the side effects of levaquin on the internet. We were shocked and angry when we found out that levaquin should not be given to children under the age of 18 because on the possibility of joint and tendon problems. Today we went to the orthopedist and he drained a lot of fluid off of both knees (it looked like about a 1/2 cup from each).The doctor thinks it has to be a side effect of the drug, because the symptoms began at the same time. He doesn't
think after examining the knee and having him perform certain tasks that he has damaged any tendons. He has all the symptoms of rheumatiod arthritis. He is very athletic and plays competitive sports and we are praying that his knees are not permanently damaged by this drug. Parents please research all drugs and there side effects before giving them to your children! Doctor's DO make mistakes!! The pharmacist failed us too.

Hi I have been taking Yaz since August of 2007. I never connected any of my symptoms with my bc until I recently saw an advertisement on TV for a lawyer who is filing a class action law suit. I then begin to research side effects of Yaz and everything made sense. For the past 1 and 1/2 years I have been to doctor after doctor trying to find out what is wrong with me. It started with fatigue, muscle aches, and a fever that wouldn't go away. I was tested for every disease and problem in the book and sent to doctor after doctor and they never could find out what was wrong with me. Shortly after that in September of 2007 I developed chronic hives that they also couldn't find a reason for. When I asked my dr. if the Yaz could be causing the hives and other problems I was told that it wasn't possible. So I continued to take the Yaz and suffer. I continued to have more and more medical problems. My hair began falling out, I became depressed and tired all the time. I have gained 20 pounds during the time I have been on Yaz. I am only 30 years old and I have always been very healthy and active and been able to maintain a healthy weight with diet and exercise but since being on Yaz it doesn't seem to matter how little I eat or how often I exercise I continue to gain weight. I have been very frustrated. I have had my thyroid tested numerous times because according to my doctors that is what the symptoms that I have been having seem to be but those tests were always negative. I even had doctors and people I know suggest that it's in my head. I just stopped taking the Yaz and I am hopeful that my life will go back to normal. I am now on medication to control the hives and I am hopeful that they will go away once I have been off the Yaz for awhile.

I was on YAZ for a year, I just stopped taking it yesterday. While on Yaz I experienced the following: Sever anger, depression, fits of range, I hated everything, I'm a newlywed and could not figure out why all of sudden I hated life and took it all out on my hubby. Would pick fights with him for no reason, I experienced back lower back pain, went for several Chiro sessions and still have pain in my lumber area. Trouble breathing a times, tension in my shoulders and neck, nightmares. If I did sleep I woke up exhausted and tired and remained that way the whole day. I felt tired and drained all the time. I'm a healthy 30 year old I’m active and eat very healthy vegetarian diet, yet I put on 15 pounds and could not take it off.
Blurred vision and dizziness.

While I was on YAZ I could not figure out what was causing me to feel this way or what it could have been as I was not warned by my doctor and did not think that my birth control was the cause of it.
After doing some research and reading what other women had to say, I finally understood what it was, YAZ; which should be banned and the company sued. I called my doctor to tell her and she told me I should have told her sooner, I did not even know what it was, I trusted her "expert" guidance in putting me on it. I don’t think I will ever go on any meds without extensive research ever again. I strongly feel that Doctors push drugs on people for their own selfish and monetary reasons, pharmaceutical kick backs. While we the women are made to be their Guiney pigs in their experimental trials, lets prescribe and see what happens attitudes. I hope that I can reverse all this, I want to live and feel like myself again and learn to love life again.
I’m so upset with YAZ an Buyer that if anyone is a lawyer and willing to start a class lawsuit against Buyer and Yaz I sign up without a thought.

Hi there, I also thought I was going crazy...I've always been in touch with my emotions and have dealt with them in healthy ways, for example doing a lot of yoga and getting outside and being active. I got the Mirena inserted in July of 2008 when my son was almost a year old. I got one period, then nothing. At first it was just fine, I noticed the decrease in sex drive but I thought it was because of disagreements with my husband. Then the motion sickness and panicky feelings kicked in around Christmas. I haven't slept well since the summer- to the point of seeing a doctor for insomnia. The motion sickness has been the hardest part- I started getting motion sick on a ski chairlift for crying out loud!!!! After I found this website I feel "saved"! I had the thing taken out last Friday, and still not feeling myself. I just hope that I can flush this toxic energy from my body. Has anyone considered some type of cleanse? Best wishes to all of you, and big hugs.

google the class action lawsuit for mirena. i joined in. so should you. it has ruined a part of the happiest time of my life. don't let them get away with it.

I've been on it for about 2 months, the first month nothing really happened...but the last month its just been getting worse and worse. Light headed, sweaty hands, cold feet, tinglinging in the fingers, heart palpitations, etc...the worst are the heart palps, and light headedness (I feel like I might pass out right now!). I stopped taking it today, my last pill was yesterday morning, so hopefully the side effects will subside today or tomorrow.

for those who went off the drug, how long did it take for the side affects to disappear?

I was on Loestrin 24 for 9 months and thought it was wonderful....until I was recently hospitalized for 2 weeks with blood clots in both lungs. The doctors determined that it was the Loestrin. If anyone knows of a class action lawsuit against them, please let me know.

As a follow-up to my post earlier today about my daughter's severe reactions to Avelox.... I wanted to add that we weren't given a prescription -- the doctor actually put a weeks worth of samples into a bag, individually wrapped pills. So even IF there was a warning on the box or a pamphlet included with this toxic drug -- we wouldn't have gotten them. Doctors get these samples from the drug companies and hand them out like candy with no regard for their patients and obviously no knowledge of what they are giving them. This is very wrong in my book. If anyone knows of anything that can be done to stop this drug from being given out - please post here.

hello its me again i am posting another issue i had with yaz when i stopped it after 5 days. My blood pressure sky rocketed to 147/over 102 which i have never had a problem with my blood pressure it has always remained 117/69. i had to go to the ER three times because of of this it would just hit me i would get very tired i felt like my heart was skipping which it was and my vision was very foggy. my left arm went numb and tingly every time this happened for days . They said it was rare side affects from the yaz rare my butt how is it possible that i could get all the side affects yet there are suppose to be rare whats bad about is the lady at the ER didn't even know that yaz had side affects like this tell she looked it up thats very sad to me considering there are lists and list of people who have had the same problem as me plus if i wouldn't have listened to my boyfriend and myinner self i think after two weeks i would have had severe problems considering i was on it for only five days and look what it did to me not to mention the doctor confirmed i smoked a pack a day and told me to take it any ways . can i do some then about this with a lawyer or do i just have to suck it up

GOOD NEWS THE FDA HAS GIVEN BAYER A WARNING BECAUST THIER ADVERISING WAS NOT SAFE FOR THE PUBLIC.
You can find the exact wording at fda.gov under "drugs" than under "consmer" {info or something},
once you're there search Yaz. Anyways I plan on contacting all the lawyers that I did a few months
ago to let them know bayer was warned that their advertising didn't warn women well enough of the
potential dangers. I believe Yaz should be off the market or at bare minimum have MUCH MUCH better
warnings. I am apparently not the only feeling this frustration so I think we should all contact
the same lawyers and anyone who wants a list from me please e-mail me and if the lawyers hear from
all of us and know about the warning the least that would happen is they would be prepared when
more problems were addressed by the FDA and I think we all know what the best out come would be.
IF YOU WANT YAZ OFF THE MARKET PLEASE CONTACT THE FDA, FDC, AND BAYER { EVEN THOUGH YOU'LL FIND
BAYER DOESN'T HAVE ANY INFO FOR YOU}. Let me know if you want the lawyer the list. Thanks to
everyone who has already contacted the FDA {who knew it would really work}.

I had a Prostate Infection that Bactrim and Doxycyline would not cure. So the doctor said the only thing that would cure i is Cipro or Levaquin. I was on it for a month. I tuffed it out and I had to take Tramadol to kill the leg pain. One day I accidentally took an extra Cipro pill and within a half hour, I had a hard time walking. I actually could feel my achilles heel pulling when I walked like it had shrunk. I've been off it two months now and I don't feel any better. I am tired and aching all the time. I have no strength. My back and knees hurt everyday to where I can't function without taking some kind of pain medicine. How long does this last? I talked to a lawyer who is doing the Cipro lawsuits and he said unless I had a ruptured tendon or can get a doctor to say I have chronic tendinitis, I have no case. I have never felt so bad in my life.
