I started taking doxycycline hyclate 100mg twice daily for 10 days for a respiratory infection. After about 7 days I started noticing tingling in my hands and feet and feeling like I was being misted with water on my arms. The tingling became worse and is now very painful in my hands but more so in my toes. It is especially worse at night when your trying to go to sleep.
It feels like the nerves in my hands and feet are raw and going crazy. Nothing relieves the pain. I took my last pill this morning and will never take this medication again.

Wow ... reading all of these stories makes me feel a little better about my situation. On April 21 I was prescribed Bactrim for an infected cyst and just in case it was MRSA , the doctor thought Bactrim was the best way to go. Early on I had a few headaches and body aches and a nightly dose of Tylenol took care of that.On day 6 while at work I was overcome by the worst body aches I have ever felt. I left work early and laid down immediately and started to wonder if this is what it feels like to die. Naturally , my first Day 6 pill was the last one I took. I went to work the next day , still feeling crappy but able to work. I thought I was in the clear after stopping the Bactrim , but that was premature. The next morning I couldn't get out of bed , so I took the day off and tried to recover . Later that evening I noticed my skin felt really strange my face felt puffed out. Looking in the mirror I didn't recognize the person looking back at me. My face was sunburn red and completely swollen . Looking closely i could see the redness was a million little red dots grouped together to make my entire face , neck , chest and shoulders red. Interestingly the rash has only itched a little. At the E.R. that night the doctors were confused because of the lack of itching and because the rash did not go away immediately after a few doses of steroids. Another side effect , which is becoming the worst out of all of them is my mouth is extremely sensitive and raw feeling ... my throat is also very sore. Eating food is almost impossible , even soup. When I brush my teeth it feels like I've never brushed them before , when I chew food it feels like I've never eaten before. Tonight's dinner is probably the 6th meal that I haven't been able to finish. What I find most interesting with myself and a lot of the people posting on here is how long into the treatment that these side effects occur. My rash started over 2 days after I stopped taking Bactrim.

I took 4 of the 10, 500 mg daily dose of Levaquin that was prescribed to me. My heart rate was so fast that I thought I was going to have a heart attack! And now I have this awful rash all over my body. It's been 4 days since I 've had the last dose and it's not getting better. Does anyone have any idea when this itchy rash will go away?

I started the pill about 2 months ago..and wow do i regret it..when i first started it i had migraines that lasted for hours..i mean before i used to get them but it was when i was stressed out or something but they would go away..i barely ever got acne on my face and now i have huge red pimples that last for days on random places on my face..i have gotten my period like 3 times already and it sticks around for so long..lately i been feeling like everything in my life is wrong like no matter what i do it just gets worse..i don't even go out on the weekends anymore because im so tired..i sleep about 12 hours a night and im still tired..i go to the doctor and they tell me im fine that my immune system is fine and theirs nothing wrong with me..so i came to my conclusion that its the pill..its caused for me to be so moody that my relationship with my boyfriend has hit the worst..and now to top it off i started getting some weird rash type of marks on my body that tend to look like hickeys fading away..i got the last 4 pills to go and im done with them...i took them for 2 months and thats it im going to to try a different method..depression and anxiety and fatigue are not worth it..
so for most girls reading this blog think twice about it before taking this pill and if right off the bat you start struggling with these type of symptoms i recommend you stop taking them.

I have been put through the wringer with Crohn's. 15 surgeries, all of my terminal ileum removed, 1/3 of my large bowel removed, etc., etc,- Those with sever Crohn's know.

I spent years on high doses of Prednisone, Imuran, Sulfasizine and other drugs and nothing worked.

I was even retired from the US Air Force due to its severity.

Remicade has help tremendously. However, some of the side effects listed above, I have also been through. Some of them, have been explained through other factors and those attributed to the Remicade I take other meds to offset them.

For example, Head aches. I figured the head aches were from allergies that I have had for some time. I attributed some of the headaches to the Remicade. The head aches are very sever after my infusions and decrease to a dull roar after that. I take four aspirin and Sudifed PE and this leaves me with a dull roar shortly after the infusions and does away with them till the next infusion - perhaps this will help some of you.

The muscle soreness is horrible and I take aspirin or Tylenol, but that barely takes the edge off.

I started get those little red dots. Then the dots turn to blisters. I get these on my hands, feet and scalp. My GI Doctor said it wasn't the Remicade, but a Dermatologist showed me a recent article that should Remicade could cause Psoriasis. I take Clobetasol Propionate for these and it has cleared them up.

I took the Remicade years ago and then it was stopped - it was the way it was done then - not constant, just three doses spread out over three months.

I got the tingling fingers during those. A neurologist attributed it to the Steroids I had been on. The nerve damage is permanent.

A few years later, they started the infusions again and I experienced no muscle soreness, headaches, etc. and it did not help the Crohn's as it had before. When I talked to my GI doctor he showed me a study that people build anti-bodies to the Remicade over time. They doubled the dose and it started working again. For those who are experiencing the Remicade not working - perhaps this is what has happened to you.

I get the mood swings, but had never considered it might be the Remicade. I will talk to my doctor about this one.

I have the blood pressure decrease during my infusions, but it has not been sever.

More recently, my joints have begun to ache and initially the Remicade had helped to stop the minor joint pains I already had. Come to find out, I have had bone thinning due to the Crohn's.

The one symptom I have started getting this week is random, sever pain in odd locations - not joints.. They have been deep and feel like they are in the bone. One midway up on my shine, one midway down on my foreman and one in my right thumb. Has anyone experienced this. The pain has been horrible and it does scare me.

I also suffer from depression, but have had it for years prior to the Remicade treatments.

I have been on it for two months due to severe psoriatic arthritis. I'm taking the max infusions every four weeks, methotrexate injections and prednisone. I'm tired, sleepy, sweaty and somewhat nuts a lot. However, after last week infusion, I have some type of rash-little red dots that feel like pin pricks that itch somewhat. I feel like a thousand fleas are attacking me all at one time! Has anyone had this type of feeling? PLEASE reply-it is driving me nuts.

Hi, when I first started NUVARING I loved it. I didn't have to remember if I took a pill everyday, my migraines were gone, and my boobs were getting bigger. However, I was always irritated, crying, anxious, and annoyed. I thought it was just because I didn't like my roommate and I missed my life at home (I'm currently in college). I would call my mom at least two times a day crying my eyes out, I never associated my sadness with my birth control. About a month ago I started getting curious about these side effects because I felt like I was having an allergic reaction. I am a clean person, especially in my special regions and I was having intense itching and I also had little red dots down there.

When I talked to my mom today, I was crying once again, and she said that she really thought that my crazy bipolar emotions were because of the NUVARING. So I decided to type NUVARING side effects into Google and see what came up. When I saw what other girls were experiencing to be honest I was relieved. I was so happy to find out that I'm not crazy, I'm just having side effects to my birth control. I've never been so happy to have been so sad haha.

I just called my doctor to see if I can get back on the pill. Everyone who said they stopped taking NUVARING says in about 4 months they got back to the old them...I'm only hoping this is true, for my sake and for my boyfriends sake.

I was prescribed a 10-day regimine of 500 mg capsules, 3 times/day for sinusitis. Day 1 with all 3 capsules, there were no side effects at all. After the 1st dose on day 2, I noticed that I felt hot and weak. I looked under my shirt and my skin looked sunburned. I checked further and found my whole body from neck to toe was bright reddish, like sunburn. I immediately discontinued thinking I must be having an allergic reaction. The next morning, the "sunburn" changed to thousands of little red dots all over. I called my doctor who confirmed I am now allergic to Amoxicillin, even though I used it in the past for probably 10 times with no side effects at all.
