Lost one symptoms and conditions

I was put on 20 ml prednisone a day for PMR . My doctor said with such a low dose I shouldn't experience many side effects. WRONG! The first month was great. No pain and I felt better than I'd felt in years. Then the side effects started...every known side effect hit me. After being on the drug for two months I told my doctor I couldn't stand the side effects any more and to please ween me off. Two weeks ago which was end of third month I was completely weened off the drug. I still have blurred vision so bad I can't function...I can't work, I can't drive, I can't read. I can barely see at all. My question is will my vision improve? So far its seems to be getting worse and my vision was great before prednisone.

Depression was bad when I was on drug but seems to be even worse now that I'm off.

The only side effects that have diminished are appetite even though I haven't lost one oz of 40 lb weight gain while I was on prednisone and muscle cramps are not quite as bad. I am sleeping a little better and hot flashes aren't as bad..

Hmm, after reading all of this ive decided that my decision after medicaid declined my ring for 3 more days to finally get off of it was right. Ive noticed that within the past 2 weeks ive had more energy, my headaches are not as bad, and ive not been having the crippling stomach pain i have after i eat some foods. Ive been on it for about a year and a half, i tried depo but i gained 40pds while on it, so i moved to the nuvaring, as i had it 3 years ago right after i had my daughter. While on it and it still hasn't went away, i have pain during sex, burning after sex, stomach cramps, lower stomach cramps, headaches, Ive had 2 bouts of chest pain that made me freak out because i about went to the hospital, I am overweight, i was only 215 when i had my daughter, and was healthy and played basket ball, and now im 265. The doctors complain at me, but i did remodel for 2 months and lost ONE pound. All while taking care of a two year old. I got two yeast infections within 6 months and id never had one ever before (im 22 this month)All these problems combined with my back pain from my accident, Ive decided, im going to use other methods like condoms and spermicide. i cant take the hormonal crap.

As with others on this forum, memory loss is a side effect I'm experiencing with Lamictal. In fact, it's THE only side effect. I began taking Lamictal three years ago, and have maintained a dose of 300 mg a day. My short-term memory is practically non-existent. I have to write EVERYTHING down, and sometimes that isn't even enough. I've been known to forget what I've read only minutes before. I used to pride myself on my impeccable spelling, and now I'd say I'm at a fifth-grade level. In fact, I feel like I'm about ten years old. I've been taken to task over and over by employers who are frustrated with my poor performance. I've lost one job and due to lose another any day. Sure, my mood is stabilized, but for what good if I can't even support myself? I would definitely go off this medication if there was a good chance I would get my memory back, but I haven't come across anything in my internet travels that indicate this is a possibility!

Been a rough last few days for me. It's been 2 months since removal and I felt I was getting better but again once a day I've been feeling 'uneasy' almost to the point of anxiousness but it passes. Have continued to have daily headaches- that hasn't stopped since a week or two before I got it taken out. and the vertigo seems to have returned, just not as bad. Still trying to understand the link between sinusitis and mirena but it's still here. Been very emotional and easily angered. My first cycle did start May 1st so maybe it's about that time. Thoughts?

So frustrated with this whole experience. Just need some reassurance/encouragement. No one in my daily life understands.

I have been on a very heart-healthy diet low in calories for 2 months and have not lost ONE stinking pound! I walk daily and still nothing. I am so frustrated I could screem. Been on Coreg 25mg twice daily for over 1 year. Have gained 15 pounds during that time and trying to loose it. Other side effects include mild dizziness.

I was on the "miracle birth control pill" Yasmin for three months, the typical amount of time you're to give a new bc pill. Anyone stating that they've been on it for 1 week, 2 weeks, etc. need to give it time to get into your system. Not saying it will be bad, but it takes awhile to get in there. Anyway, my side effects weren't that noticeable to me. But to my new boyfriend they were. And he pointed them out to me and researched the pill for me. And guess what? They're all side effects commonly known for with Yasmin. The no sex drive, the unbearable mood swings (I mean I was psycho!!), the bloatedness, the acne around the chin, the upset stomachs/diarrhea, headaches, etc. No, not every pill is for every woman, but I think they should of done a lot more research with this one. Granted I will give them the fact that the main reason I went on this pill was to stop my breakthrough bleeding. It did stop that, and only having my period for 2-3 days was pleasant. But not the rest!! And for those who think that this pill makes you lose weight, don't believe the hype. It's only been proven that you can lost ONE POUND being on this pill. Drink enough water and you can lose that normally!
