Nerve problem symptoms and conditions

My 21 yo son started Singulair Aug.5 on Aug 6 he experienced an opthalmic migraine with persistent visual deficits that are constant. He only had one dose. He has never had any type of migraine before or even frequent headaches. Two neuro-ophthalmologists feel he is that rare case his vision may never be normal again. Singulair induced????

Iam a 26 year old wife with 2 kids. I had mirena in since may 2007
2 months after I had my 2nd child. First I had spotting for a while. It seem to be ok. after 6 months until now I feel the following side effects:
TIRED, CRYING FOR NO REASON, MOOD SWINGS, GET MAD EASY WITH KIDS AND HUSBAND, CHEST FEELS TIGHT, PANIC LIKE ATTACKS, NERVE PROBLEM, DIZZY, HEADACHE, MENTAL FOG FEELING, CONCENTRATION IS LACKING. my sister had hers put in a little before me and she took hers out about 2 months ago. I am going to take my out also. All hormone birth control is just not natural for our bodies. but at the same time I dont want no more kids but not sure about getting my tubes cut. I dont know what to do. But the SIDE EFFECTS OF MIRENA IS NOT WORTH IT. FOR YOUR SELF AND YOUR LOVE ONES WHO HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS IT CAUSES ON OUR BODIES.

IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT IT I WOULD SAY DONT GET IT IT IS NOT WORTH IT. THE MIRENA WEBSITE DOESN'T TELL YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH OF SIDE EFFECTS. DOCTORS DONT TELL YOU ABOUT THEM EITHER. THEY JUST WANT THE COMMISSION OFF OF IT. BE YOUR OWN DOCTOR AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY. YOUR BODY TELLS YOU WHEN SOMETHING IS WRONG.

I had been taking Lipitor for well over six years to help lower my Cholesterol count with no know side affects. A problem developed about two and a half years ago with nerve damage that gave me excruciating pain in my shoulder and arm. After an MRI and three cortisone shots I was referred to a neurologist for help. He had no idea what was causing the problem.

About six months after many doctors could do nothing for me, and referring me to a physical therapist, my wife showed me a story in a magazine, which I can no longer find, that talked about problems with Lipitor that had not been properly documented. The article talked about exactly the side effects I was having. The article said there was a problem with nerve damage. It had been well documented that some people had muscle problems, but it was not know there could also be a problem with nerve pain.

I contacted my doctor and stopped taking Lipitor. Two months later, the pain just disappeared. The very day the pain ceased, I had a visit from a good friend of mine who is a Radiologist and who had studied Lipitor because of a problem he was having.

He explained that Lipitor was doing the job it was supposed to do, namely keeping the liver from producing all fats. The problem I was having was that I had injured a nerve and Lipitor was keeping the liver from producing a particular fat needed to help heal that nerve. It seems that the myelin sheath around the nerve needs that fat to help the nerve heal itself, and Lipitor was preventing the production of that particular fat.

Once I quit taking Lipitor it took about two months for the healing fat production to do it's thing. Recovery of the nerves in that arm has been very slow, but they do seem to be healing now.

I thought this was such an important finding that I notified all the doctors I had seen about this problem. To my great surprise I heard from no one. Not even a thank you. I guess that since they didn't find the solution, they just were not interested.

I hope this discussion helps someone else. Thanks for listening.

I was prescribed 42 pills (20 days) of 10 mg Prednisone which I am to take beginning with 4 pills for four days and steadily decreasing every four days down to four 1/2 pill the last four days. I took my first dose yesterday and was told to drink lots of water. I do not wish to gain weight nor have a moon face. My doctor does not feel this will affect me in that way, but may have water retention (swelling). I am 73, and this regiment of Prednisone was prescribed to decrease inflammation due to a possible siatic nerve problem, which is causing extreme pain in my left leg. The pain is excruciating when I get up in the morning but eases down by mid morning with some pain all day and some nights if I move just the wrong way.Does anyone have a suggestion for the best foods to eat and what to avoid? I read that grapefruit juice may be beneficial.
