Next friday symptoms and conditions

I wanted to know if anyone got their period twice a month? I have a two and half month old. I didn't know if it was a side effect from the birth control or if this was normal after giving birth.

Back to report for those interested in post removal stories/experiences - 3 months post removal here. The first 2 months were so much better - I was back to my normal self, running each morning, working and then having enough energy for my kids and husband. Periods were normal 5-6 days like before and 25-28 day cycles. This month period was much heavier, with many more clots. I had to change tampons every 2 hours just to be sure that overflow didn't happen. It actually caught me off guard since the previous months were so normal. Weight is slowly coming off which confirms to me that Mirena was cause since I'm not doing anything any differently exercise/food wise. Will continue to update as life goes on......

My story is very sadly similiar to enough's story

I have also been following these posts since the story broke
My son is 11 yrs old has been on singulair for almost 1 yr now for allergies after suffering a SI that lasted over 2 months

He was dx'd with ADHD & ODD at age 4 & they have been trying to rule out bipolar for the last few yrs But Can't, so he has been on a ton of meds!!!
I have noticed that this last year has been worse though & he almost had to be admitted numerous times within this past year We kept switching the ADHD meds & trying Bipolar meds nothing seemed to work, So last friday night (almost 1 wk ago) the day I heard about this, I stopped the singulair But he also started a new bipolar med the same day & HE IS A NEW KID!!! so now I'm stuck with the terrible task to find out if it's a combo of stopping the singulair & the new med working or stopping the singulair & maybe he doesnt even need the new med? IDK right now BUT I DO know that Something is working!!! So I have decided that next Friday put him back on the singulair for a few days to see what happens?? we talked about it & he knows I will not punish him for anything he does while he is on it I just NEED to know if this med Made him worse!!!!!! That way I can take some kind of action here, I just would like to know why the heck would they put a kid who already has mental health issues on a med that could make those issues WORSE????
I'm positive that singulair did not cause his probs since they started way b4 him being on this med But I have a gut feeling that singulair has made his probs 10X worse!!

his S/A's have been the same as e/o has already described

itching (which I know for a fact was from singulair b/c that is gone now)
mood swings
crying
angry
crabby
irritable
violent
not sleeping well (even worse than what he had already)
aches & pains everywhere

I always dismissed the complaints or assumed it was one of his other meds causing them, I never ever in a million years would of thought it was the singulair!!!!

I held off on posting b/c I wanted to see if taking him off would work?? IDK for sure yet but I will come back in a week or so & let u all know

I'll pray for all the familes involved in this I'm still kind of shocked by it all but felt the need to share my story also

(I tried posting yesterday guess it didnt work??)

My 9 yo daughter has been off and on Singulair for several years trying to get her athsma and allergies regulated. She has been put on zyrtec, and claritin and it has been a constant battle with her. She has been in and out of children's mental health facilities 3 times in the past year and has been diagnosed as having ODD (Oppositional Defiance Disorder), Mood Disorder, Depression, Severe ADHD, Bi-Polar as well as ADO (Adjustment Disorder) and emotional disorder, just to name some of the diagnosis she has had. SHE IS ONLY NINE YEARS OLD. Due to ALL these other diagnosis, she has been on and off so many different medications that I cannot help but wonder if some of these diagnosis are due to her taking the Singulair. When she was taking the SINGULAIR, she could not sleep at night, she complained about her stomach hurting all the time, she was very angry, emotional, and cried very easily for no reason at all. I have not given her any SINGULAIR since I first heard about all this stuff two days ago and can already see a difference. The fact that these people are doing this to our children infuriates me and something needs to be done!!!!!!!!

WOW...
I am about to start IVF and do one cycle of Lupron injections starting next Friday. You guys have officially scared the crap out of me. Thanks!

Hi All,

I have recently had the Mirena coil fitted, (first week in Jan 08 this year). The insertion was so painful that i nearly fainted twice while having it fitted.......that night i couldn't sleep as i was in so much pain and was bleeding heavily. I am now 5 weeks on and can't get through the day without taking 2 Ibuprofen and 2 paracetamol every 4 hours as the cramping pains are so back that i can't concentrate on anything. I also started bleeding 9 days ago and instead of getting better it's getting worse. I went back to the clinic after calling every day for advise from the doctor who said my side affects were normal!! after explaining to the doctor that i was also taking the Femodene pill as the doctor who fitted the coil said this would help the coil settle in quicker. Anyway they said i should come in as it sounded like the coil was expelling......they did an examination and told me that everything is fine and that what i am experiencing is normal and that i should try and give it another 6 weeks. Can anyone reading this give me some advise ?? i called my doctors again today and can't get an app till the 21st of Feb. This thing is beginning to get me down and doing nothing for my sex life with my partner.

I wish i found this kind of site before i go the Mirena fitted.

I had the Mirena inserted two weeks ago. It was very painful when it was inserted and I also had a few cramps the same day. It was inserted while I was on my period and the bleeding stopped the next day. My husband and I had sex two days after it was inserted and the next day I started bleeding again only it wasnt blood. It was light brown dischage and i dont know what this is but it stopped after a few days. I really didnt think anything else about it until my husband and i had sex again a few days ago and it was so painful i started crying and we had to stop. The very next day I started having the same light brown discharge. This morning I started really bleeding blood and I dont know why this is. Is this normal?

I have now been on prednisone for 3 weeks (3/9/07 to Present) and I weight 103 so I havent notice the weight gain yet but I do eat a lot now and I am never full. I go back to the doctor next Friday so I will find out if I have gained any weight. A major problem I am having is I cant sleep at night I have so much energy now. My face is shaping into a moonface. I take two pills a day at 20 mg (40 mg together). Also, my mood is changing I get mad really easy now.

alease i think that how you spell it
was wonderfull for me
it controled my breakouts
and it keeps you in with the sex or i'm just a over horny teenager ^_^
i have a dr. appointment next friday about my symptons with yasmin... i hope he changes my prescription back to alease
thanx for all the info and i hoped i helped

I am currently finishing my third week on topamax, I am only up to 75mg a day. I do not sleep right at night, due to tingling from the medication and other Multiple Sclerosis complications. I return to my MS Neurologist next friday and we will again discuss my M.S. and Migrains. The Tingling for me is from head to toe and it is driving me nuts. At least now I know that it is the topamax and not my M.S. causing the tingling. So life does goes on.
