Night sweats chills symptoms and conditions

I wish I would have found this site before I had my mirena put in. Very dissapointed with the info received from the doctor. I thought it was going to be a very simple, easy way to keep from getting pregnant. My youngest is 11, and I just got tired of the pill. Insertion of the IUD was painful, but not bad. I had some cramping and alternated Tylenol and Advil. From day 1, it just got worse. My doctor wanted to prescribe something strong for pain- that's just not right! You shouldn't require codeine for something that is supposed to be innocuous! The cramping/pain just kept getting worse- between contractions and 'back labor', I don't know which was worse. I was passing clots the size of quarters, too- again, that just isn't right. My doctor kept telling me it would 'get better', but why should we have to tolerate such misery? Then there were the night sweats/chills that also kept me up. I was afraid to have intercourse with my husband because I could feel the strings poking out of my cervix. I had mine removed after 7 days, and the pain is gone, but my period is excessive still- one week later. I'll keep track of it. My doctor said, 'so what will you do now? do you want to try sterilization?' like it was my fault and I was just being a wimp.

I've started taking Yasmin 1½ month ago and in the last 3 weeks or so I've been having severe night sweats, chills and extreme fatigue (always feeling sleepy, need longer sleep time, need rest during the day). The night sweats is really what is bothering me the most. I wake up, my night cloths completely drenched in sweat, and then I literally freeze to death because of the drying sweat and the wet cloths, then I finally manage to fall asleep only to wake up a short while later, again, covered in sweat - and so the cycle repeat itself until I finally get up in the morning... Very very annoying. I really hope that changing my BC pills will fix this because I can't stand it any longer, I'll go nuts.

My mom, 72, has been sick for a year and a half now with drenching night sweats, chills, fatigue as well as some other symptoms. She has undergone every test imaginable and has been to tons of doctors. Every test is normal and the drs. don't know what is wrong. We recently came to the conclusion that she switched to a generic heart medicine at about the time she became ill as well as recently started to take generic paxil because she thought she was having a nervous breakdown. We have just switched her meds to all name brands to see if this will stop the sweats and her general ill feeling. Has anyone heard that taking generic drugs could do this? Specifically Verapamil and the generic paxil. Thanks.

I know that when i got off of effexor, it was a nightmare!!! I had night sweats, chills, nausea, and my mucles would tense up around my torso and neck. It made me feel like i couldn't breathe. My doctor said it was just withdrawls, but it scared the crap out of me!!! He put me on topamax a few days ago, i'm yet to have any problems. I'm really looking forward to the weightloss!!! Does anyone know if topamax is as bad to get off of as effexor??? please get back with me soon!
