Medical reasons symptoms and conditions

I can relate to almost everything on here, but never thought it would be b/c of the Mirena. I never put two and two together. I got it placed just after the birth of my second child in April of 2008, since then I have had no energy, no sex drive, I'm on anit-depressants (but i was depressed before so not sure on that one), I'm always smelly down south even RIGHT after a shower, and that really bothers my husband. I have really bad mood swings, I yell at everyone. I'm not the easiest person to live with right now. I have an apt next month with my OB and I'm going to get it taken out. My husband is not thrilled about that since I'm not very good at remembering to take the pill, and I'm still breastfeeding so I have to take the mini pill which you need to be even more careful about when you take it. Also sometimes I swear I think I can feeling it when I bend just right.

Ive been on synthroid since Saturday august 23rd and I noticed Im more nervous like I want to climb the walls and im sweating profusly. I have lost over 100 lbs since February and I had blood work done on tues august 19th and the doctor put me on 25 mg. Im suppose to go back in 6 weeks and get my level checked again but Im going to call the doctors office tomorrow and tell them what is happening. If this is what is going to happen Im not staying on it. Im only 42 and I am battling deg.disc disease which hurts enough and sciatia.

My doctor has asked me to go on the pill for years. I'm married, and not really interested in it to prevent pregnancy-I can use condoms. I am simply on it for medical reasons since I have heavy periods with cramping, constantly get ovarian cysts, and I'm anemic. I am trying to hang in there, but I've had my period for two weeks straight now and this is my third week of pills. I take it at 7pm, but every morning I get up with horrible stomach pain regardless of what I eat or if I eat even anything. I know it has to be this pill. I really don't want to stop this one just to start another pill with another list of side effects. Any advice to when the abdominal pain will go away?

I have been crying for almost 24 hours now. I cannot believe what I am reading and hearing about Singulair. My son has been to hell and back again and again. I cannot say for sure the Singulair is the culprit. But after reading all of the other stories on this website, I am convinced it is a strong possibility.

My son is 11 years old. He has severe allergies and asthma. He takes many, many medications for this including Singulair. He as been on Singulair for about 8 years now (my best guess because he has been on it for sooooo long.)

My son was diagnosed with ADHD in pre-school. He has taken many medications for the ADHD, but none have ever done any good at all. We thought some of the medications even made things worse. Now, I'm not so sure.

After exhausting all the ADHD medications, our pediatrician sent my son to a psychiatrist and a counselor. The psychiatrist put him on 2 different antipsychotic medications. Again, neither one did any good and seemed to make matters worse. The psychiatrist sent my son to a psychologist to be tested for Asperger's. For those of you who don't know Asperger's is a high functioning form of autism. The psychologist ruled out Asperger's by diagnosed ADHD and Anxiety Disorder. He did not prescribe any medication.

For some unknown reason, I've only given my son the Singulair off and on for the last year. My son had the best year in school ever. However, his pediatrician was still not satisfied. He sent him to see another psychiatrist at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh. We were told he is believed to have more than one disability. He is believed to have ADHD, Aspergers, Teurettes and a possible 4th medical problem that has not yet come to light.

We are scheduled to see a neurologist at Children's Hospital on the 15th of April to rule out any medical reasons for his tics. We see the psychiatrist again on the 18th of April.

I am so tormented by this recent news. Has all of these problems been caused from him taking the Singulair for so long? Although he has had his best year in school yet, he still has a lot of problems. Are the side effects of the Singulair permanent.

The other side of the coin is this: It is also very scary to watch my son not be able to breath. Asthma can also be life threatening. What is a parent supposed to do.

Also, I now don't know whether to keep these appointments that are coming up. I hate so much to put him through more. He has endured enough doctors and tests to last him a lifetime. However, what if it is not the Singulair and there is help out there for him that I am not aware of.

Please if anyone else has had a similar experiences e-mail me. I would love to hear from you.

God Bless everyone who has been through this kind of hell.

My local pharmacies have switched to dispensing only ProAir HFA inhalers in place of the usual albuterol inhalers by Warrick, per the new law concerning the ozone layer. Am experiencing severe breathing problems because of the switch. Was under cotrol with the old type for over ten years, it was a life-saver. The new type inhaler doesn't work for me. Even after adjusting to the slightly different feel and mastering a slightly different user technique, it fails to ease my breathing. Peak flow meter stays around 250. Why drastically alter a medication for non-medical reasons? I am reading on internet forums that I am not alone; thousands of users are having problems with the new HFA inhalers. I can't walk to the store now, I can't go up & down stairs, I can't carry on a sustained conversation. ???? I appeal to the powers that be to make our old inhalers available to us again. Let the marketplace decide which type to buy. This is a frightening failure and we need help.

I've been on Yasmin for about 8 months. After another totally neurotic night of fighting with my boyfriend and waking up this morning totally depressed, lying in bed crying for over an hour on a Saturday morning, I figured it was time to google Yasmin and read up on side effects.

What a relief to know I'm not crazy! Since I started Yasmin in the fall, I've lost all desire to do anything productive that used to bring me joy, like gardening, reading, etc. I have HUGE anxiety issues right now that seem to cause completely irrational behavior. I snap at people and often want to do nothing but lie in bed with the covers over my head. I can't tell you how many times in the last month I've felt like I hate everyone. This is NOT me.

Also, my breasts swelled immediately upon taking this pill, which I actually like! So at first I thought Yasmin was great. I do get a lot of bloating and back pain right before my period - and fatigue, depression, anxiety and loss of sex drive. Now that I'm reading up on it, I don't Yasmin is for me - although it may be great for somebody else.

please help!! im only 17.. and i get my period still 3 days after i start the pill on sunday.. and now i notice my 2nd toe on my left foot feels numb when i walk on it please i dont know what to do!! im on my 3rd month and that's the only problem.. did anyone else experience this? as well as i have to take a nap everyday just about at the same time.. and if i dont i get moody.. im only 17 and not active on this 4 medical reasons...but what should i do??i really dont want to get any of your symptoms bc i dont need that.. any advice and did u guys experience this if soo please reply and tell me what it was!! thanks a bunch!

Hi everyone

My daughter had been taking Yasmin for a year. She was put on it for medical reasons. During the last year her personality has gone from bad to worse. Being very irrational with mood swings and a "Dr Jek/ Mr Hyde" personality thing going. Just very hard to talk to any sense into at all. After suffering with her we took her to our family Dr who said she had mild depression and perscibed Zolft. We saw a quick improvement however after a few months on zoloft she took herself off when she gained 12 lbs in 3 months. However after reading this web sight it has become clear that maybe just maybe her problems are related to the Yasmin. After talking with our doctor we have decided to take her off Yasmin to see if we see any improvements. As we think back..yes, she has always been strong willed and some what "difficult" but there has been a definite decline in her personality behavior in the last year. Sooo my question is this..she has been off the Yasmin for almost 2 weeks now and we dont seem to see much of a differance ( maybe a tiny bit?). Cna nayone maybe shed soem light on how long this might take to "begin to return to normal" ( assuming it could be Yasmin). Any thoughts on this would be helpful. Thank you
