Menstrual problems symptoms and conditions

I had terrible sinus problems combined with my deviated septum. Swollen nostrils, constant nasal drip, couldn't sleep at night, and terrible sore throat in the morning. Started taking nasonex two months ago... Stopped all my problems in a few days. After two weeks I was only spraying each nostril once about 2-3 times a week. My periods are always every 28 days and my past period was 10 days late, I am still waiting for this months period (over a week late). I realized it has to be the nasonex. Along with menstrual problems, I have had terrible nightmares, acne problems (for the first time ever, I'm 24), a few nosebleeds, headaches that have lasted over 4 days, and itchy skin. I didn't put it all together until I saw this website. I will not be spraying my nose again, from now on I will be using the nedi pot.

I took Topamax 50 mg for about 2 months and experienced a change in menstrual bleeding. I wonder if Topamax effects progesterone levels. I had light spotting 5 days before period due for both months. This medication also made me very depressed and angry. I quit taking it about 5 days ago and felt the depression lift on the 2nd day after stopping the medication. This was my 2nd round for Topamax. My first time taking it I worked up to 100mg and lost 15 lbs in just a few weeks. I had no appetite. I also go very sick with a respiratory infection and dry coughing. I had menstrual problems with the first round too but didn't figure out if may be the Topamax until my 2nd round. It did help my migraines significantly. But I'm uncertain how if potentially messes up menstrual cycle. The warnings for the medication says "menstrual problems" but doesn't go into detail. Anyone else have menstrual problems.

This is in response to someone who suggested that if you just take the pill as ordered, you will be ok. T0 put it simply , you are wrong. There are more than a few people affected by this drug. The problem is most people assume that because they have high blood pressure their health is already compromised and they put the weird symptoms and problems they have on their overall health.
I started taking Lisinopril 5 years ago and not once did my doctor connect my sudden problems to Lisinopril.
I was told I needed my right shoulder cuff repaired cause I was overweight and I believed it. I was told I had GERD cause the abdominal fat was pushing the acid into my throat. I believed it. I started having menstrual problems I was told I was getting old ( I am on ly 42 years old). I believed it.
I started having memory and concentration issues I was told I was too stressed at work. I believed it. Started having heart attack and stroke symptoms. I was told I had high blood pressure and I needed to lose weight. I believed it. My knees and joints started giving out.. again I was told I was overweight. Lose weight and I will get better. I believed it. Started having rib cage pain like shingles and I was told it might be my gall bladder. I had a HIDA scan and nothing was found.
One day last summer I felt like I was dying a slow death and I went to the hospital and was found out I was in heart failure, heart rate was irregular and kidney function was impaired.
I was admitted to the ICU for 3 days. While in the ICU I had my blackberry and I started googling all of my meds and I came across this site and I suddenly felt like a thousand pounds was lifted off my shoulders. That was the last Lisinopril pill i took and guess what? EVERY single one of the above problems have magically disappeared.

I work in a healthcare setting where people are admitted that are critically ill. Whenever I see a particular diagnosis I immediately scan their meds and what do I see? Lisinopril. People are having joints replaced, stomach surgeries, shoulder surgeries, irregular heart beats, unexplained heart attacks, people are being diagnosed with Alzheimer and dementia on this drug. People are getting brain lesions and the list goes on and on.
There are over 30 million people worldwide on this drug. If drugs were so good why are people getting sicker and sicker.
Please don't take this drug. Do what you have to do to get your blood pressure under control.

I don't have any of the side-effects that are mentioned. The drug is designed to reduce blood pressure and heart rate. If you do not exercise or are over weight, your days are already numbered if you have had a heart attack. A persons has to exercise appropriately and get their heart back into shape or they will remain unhealthy. One person mentioned that their BP was 129/142. That is a very high BP. Yes it reduces you ability to do the same rigorous exercise. Reducing the drug (breaking it in half), taking it after your evening meal helped me. The pronounced effect is for about 8 hours after taking the drug. Taking it at about 5-7:00 PM or right before you go to bed works well, because it reduced your Heart rate and BP. Taking it in the morning after taking coffee is a mess-up. A number of drugs should not be taken when you want you most energy. The lingering effects are reduced. Certainly everyone is affected differently. I am 59, I have my heart attack at 56. The exercise, weight loss, and salt reduction are very important for anyone. Fluid retention increases blood pressure. If you are on Lisinopril and eat a lot of salty seasoned foods, your body will not react normally and you will feel terrible and have the combined effects of excess sodium on the systems in the body, especially nerve responses. I can not explain the coughing and gagging. I have GERD and keep it under control with Acidifex; however, after loosing about 10 pounds, (I weight 187 at 5'11'') I do not seem to need the drug.

Stop taking the drug and you may die, taking drugs off the market because a few people have problems is stupid. More people have died from tobacco and excess alcohol than all acidents, wars, murder, and the like, and we have done very little in comparison to deep pocket drug companies.
I understand how the drug works and how it doe3s not work. If you don't do what the doctors says....everything, especially dieting properly, exercising, and reducing stress,

Iv been taking it for a couple weeks and now my periods about 3 days late and im afraid i might be pregnant..has anyone else experience menstrual problems with doxycycline?

See my earlier post (from concerned mother on 8/5/08 at 8:29pm) regarding my daughter's severe reaction to the Gardasil vaccine during October - December 2007. As stated, she continues to experience menstrual problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, severe cramping) which incapacitate her. In October 2008, her annual pap test showed precancerous cells. She is going for a re-check in February (I will post the outcome once it's known). The doctor wanted to wait 6 months for re-check but we are not comfortable with that. Just wanted to remind everyone to get their annual pap exams!!!

I received my first gardasil shot today the shot itself didn't hurt too bad but immediately after i felt as if i was about to pass out. I've never fainted had problems with shots previously and was extremely calm while getting it. I felt very light headed, dizzy, my hands were shaking and i was very hard of hearing. I'm not sure if i should continue getting the next two shots

My personal experience with Zyrtec was so awful that I decided to document it in a blog in great detail to try and help other people: http://zyrtecsideeffects.blogspot.com/

I suffered severe depression, menstrual problems and other health issues whilst on Zyrtec. The depression literally disappeared overnight when I stopped taking Zyrtec. I suffered horrific withdrawal symptoms for 6-7 weeks after stopping Zyrtec which I have documented in my blog.

Well, I just started the pill tonight, I read through a bunch of the comments, and I sort of wished I would have looked this pill up before actually choosing this one. {Right now I'm just hot, and a bit drowsy but I highly doubt that is from the pill since I just started a couple of hours ago} However, I am prepared (semi-prepared) to stick it out and see how my body takes to it. When I was 18, 19 i took the Depo shot because my doctor thought with college starting that it would be my best bet. I miss 1-2 days/mth for my serious menstrual problems; throwing up, migraines, severe cramps where I either faint or am unable to walk, and of course fevers, etc..If i was not drugged up I probably would just cry for days and days and not sleep. However I didn't like the Depo shot much, besides getting pregnant was not the issue since I wasn't sexually active anyway. A couple years later, after missing tons of classes/month because of my period, and even getting 2 incomplete 1 semester, I decided to try another pill, Im not sure the name but it caused my appetite to change, I am only 4'11,100lbs. I have a huge appetite but fast metabolism so losing weight is not an option for me. I am praying that everything works out with this pill because now at age 24, I am sexually active and not trying to have children for at least 2 or 3 years..and even more, I am switching jobs and can not afford to finish my masters and have a job that doesn't really mind me missing time so often. So if anyone else has any side effects please post so I know what else may be normal or abnormal. Thanks in advance (and sorry for the life story lol)

I'm so glad I have decided to look into Mirena side effects. I had mine fitted 13 months ago due to heavy, painful periods. I've tried many types of pill but have had reactions to most and my Gynie thought that Mirena would be the best way to go. To start off with I would agree. All my menstrual problems have gone. However I have traded them for a list of other symptoms. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease four years ago. For the past 9 months I have had fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, mood swings, irrational irritability, headaches, feeling light headed (now I written this all down it seems obvious that it is hormonal anyway...) and I thought I had been miss diagnosed and that I had chron's disease. I have had lengthy investigations (blood work, colonoscopy) which have produced nothing and I still feel terrible. I hadn't thought about my Mirena until talking it through with a friend and putting two and two together. I'm going to make an appointment with my Gynie on Monday to get it removed. Thank you everyone for your posts. i wish I had figured it out sooner. Good luck to you all.

My daughter took singulair for a number of years because she was asthmatic and the doctor recommended that she takes one each a day. At 13 she started acting differently and I thought it was just growing up and being a rebellious teenager. I later found track mark on her arms and she was hospitalized under suicide watch. She was not allowed in school until she had numerous therapy sessions. On top of everything she was giving topamax to control her anxiety and depression and now missed so much school that she has graduate a year later.

Is any one having menstrual problems? I have had a lot of cramping and little to no flow-which is unusual for me-I feel like I am constantly PMS-ing
and I want to eat all the time! The allergy problem is gone but my ovaries
are killing me and Im gaining weight!

Okay....Sorry ladies, I'm Hi-Jacking your women's only postings on Mirena for one second.

My daughter just e-mailed me a few minutes ago to tell me that she was considering having this Mirena inserted to try and help her with her very bad menstrual cramps that she has had for years. The Doctors, and there have been many, haven't been able to figure out WHY she's had so much pain over the years during her period. Then she talks to this lady that said she had the Mirena inserted recently, and it had helped her with her endometriosis. Which is what we think is wrong with my daughter. She has all of the symptoms of endometriosis, along with all of the menstrual problems as well.

But me, being a concerned Father, I always do research on everything before I try it or buy it. Or if any of the members of my family that are interested in trying or buying anything, i do the research. The internet is a Godsend for that purpose alone!

However, after reading all of these posting from you ladies willing to share all of the side effects that y'all have experienced, I'm going to suggest to my precious daughter, that keep searching for her miracle cure and not have this Mirena inserted. She's got enough problems without the problems that this Mirena seems to be causing for most of you.

Much Thanks to all of your ladies that have shared your problems that have resulted from this Mirena!

Blessings to you all!

On 6-21-05 I had my first shot of Kenalog (2 cc) in each knee along with 7cc of Maraine. I was diagnosed with moderate to severe osteoarthritis in the medial joint spaces of both knees (bone on bone) and the doctors told me I was getting bow-legged from it. All of this happened in about 6 months time. I'm diabetic and the shots skyrocketed my blood sugar, which they told me to watch my blood sugars closely. The 1st day my blood sugar went as high as 467, which really freaked me out. The blood sugar was more tolerable on the 2nd day and leveled out decently. But the overall benefit has been marvelous to my knees and general quality of life. The pain in my knees before the shots was getting atrocious for regular daily functioning and I could barely function (difficult to stand, difficult to rise from sitting position, and difficult to walk). I have absolutely no pain in my knees like I did before and I'm so thankful that the shots were available. My walking is so much better since the shots. I had a hysterectomy a few years ago so the Kenalog could not wreck havoc with menstrual problems as many have indicated. I hope the effects last, but yes, I would consider taking the shots again to increase walking function. I read (all 67 pages from the "guests" who logged in).
