Numbness in fingers symptoms and conditions

Is anyone also taking adderall, along with Yasmin? I had a baby 9 months ago and was off of adderall and Yasmin for about a year. In April, I stopped breastfeeding and got back on adderall and Yasmin's generic version, Othello. I was fine for a few months. Then, in July, I noticed the anxiety and related symptoms: lump in my throat, numbness in fingers (I had this when I was prego, too, as I gained 80 lbs., etc., but it went away for a while), feeling like my heart was racing, moodiness, etc. I take my Othello at night, as I sometimes get nauseous at the beginning of the pack, and don't want to "suffer" during the day. At first I thought it was my adderall, as it can sometimes cause anxiety-related symptoms, but I went off of it for a few days and I still had the exact same symptoms, because I was still taking Othello. I even cut down on my caffeine. I love coffee, but have started getting half-caf. drinks. I think I need to go off of the Othello, because I really think that it is the source of all my "issues". Does anyone have a similar story or advice that they can share? Thanks! :)

Took Yaz years ago for some months. Do not remember many side effects. Starting taking it in July 2009 and within 2 weeks was hospitalized with pulmonary embolisms in both lung. Which means blood clots in both lungs. Doctor's could not find any other reason than Yaz. Please DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG. I was a healthy 37 year old with not history of clotting disorders and now I have to have see a hematologist, pulmonologist and take Coumadin for the next 6-9 months. I never thought that a medicine could destroy me in as little of a time as 2 weeks. I thank God for getting me through it and am writing to warn any future users. Don't take this med.

i have inserted mirena in jan'2007 to control excess bleeding. but now i am 44 years i feel numbness in fingers of left hand. get depressed quickly is it due to mirena or something else. let me know

I was on Femcon FE for 6 months just for hormone replacement I have been on BC for 10 years never had the problems like I have with this drug. Severe arm muscle aches but worst of all lower back muscle cramping at night so bad I could barley get out of bed in the morning. I was starting to think I had arthritis, numbness in fingers and arms at night as well as stiffness in my fingers joint pain in my knees very bad. All this was a constant and the back cramping was getting worse with every night. I have stopped taking this drug 1 week ago and already see big improvement in mood, numbness is gone and the back stiffening and cramping has greatly improved, the muscle aches are almost gone Thank god I figured out it was this horrible drug.

WEIGHT GAIN, NUMBNESS IN FINGERS AND FEET. LET PAIN. I ALREADY HAVE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, MIXED CONNECTIVE TISSUE DISEASE, THYROID DISEASE AND AM MISERABLE ON THIS.

I GAINED 12 POUNDS IN TWO MONTHS. I'M IN A FOG AND CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING. HAVE REALLY BAD LEG PAIN TRYING TO EXERCISE.

I THINK THIS DRUG SLOWED MY METABOLISM.

I am 27 and have had the Mirena in for almost 2 years. I had it inserted about 2 months after giving birth to my daughter. About 4 months after I had the iud inserted I started getting paic attacks. Lately I have been going through night time whole body shakes for about 5 minutes. Likewise I feel very foggy, acne on arms, back and face, heart palpitations, flushed feeling, numbness in fingers and so many more that y'all are experiencing too except I have not gained any weight. I cannot wait to get this thing out. I have spent sooooo much money going to the doctor trying to figure what the crap is wrong with me, have had numerous blood tests all to be ok except lately I have started to become pre-diabetic (great). My husband was CONVINCED it is the mirena and he searched until he found this sight and I know now he is right. I would not recommend the mirena to anyone now. My concern is now how long it will take me to get back to feeling normal. Oh and about feeling weak, it is all I can do to brush my teeth my arms are give out by the time I get done brushing. My concern for not taking it out was getting pregnant. My husband and I have decided that we will use condoms and use the pregnancy planning kits to try to avoid getting pregnant. If it happens we know we want to have one more and my hubby said he will have a vasectomy, that my health is the most important thing. Anyone considering getting the implant please do a lot of research and thinking before you get it.
Oh I forgot to mention I had an ovarian cyst to rupture Thanksgiving 2007. I have joint pain worst in my left hip, light bleeding almost all the time, sudden sharp headache pains that come and go quickly, and honestly too many things to remember.

I am 37. My BP was around 160/95. My Dr put me on Lisinopril 10mg daily. My BP became normal almost immediately. I have been on it for over a year now and here is what I have noticed. I am CONSTANTLY tired and dizzy. Any thought of walking anywhere of any distance is horrifying because of the fear of collapse. I sleep over 10 hrs a night only to wake up exhausted. I am so sick of being tired. I just want to sleep my life away. This is no way to live. I am depressed all of the time. I can't even shop anywhere because of the anxiety which comes with it. i.e. numbness in arms, rapid pulse, faintness, hyper ventalation and just pure panic for no reason whatsoever. I can't control it. When I sleep, my fingers and hands fall completely asleep. They are dead. It wakes me up numerous times every night. I can't get good rest. I stopped taking Lisinopril a week ago. My BP is below normal now. My pulse is around 55 at all times. I have never had joint pain, just extreme fatigue. God willing, I won't have to take this med again, or any med. I forgot how I used to feel. I wasn't always like this.

Many strange things have been happening to me for the last year and a half, that I did not ever experience before. I just turned 38 years old. I am now suspecting these are side effects from the MIRENA. I want to get opinions about what I'm experiencing and what happens when it's removed.

The most profound thing is the feeling of being in a mental bubble. Even though I'm aware of it and I try to be alert, I feel cloudy minded and can't even rely on myself to remember things or commit to things because I never know how I will feel when I wake up each day. Some days are okay while others are completely LOST because I may have struggled to sleep the night before, sweating and soaking my pillow case and waking up with a rapid heart beat, panicking for no apparent reason right out of sleeping. Or, I'm irritable due to discomfort which takes several forms like these:
- major moodiness, like feeling totally peaceful one minute and then something small triggers me and I'm angry for hours, later realizing that I was overreacting
- visibly shaking hands, especially when I drink just 1/2 cup coffee.
- increased oily skin and acne on face, back, shoulders and even in ears, along with thinning hair around face
- fatigue and stiffness in the morning, so it takes me forever to get out of bed
- off and on fatigue that has me uncontrollably dozing off during the day
- bloated tummy (visible), gas and menstrual cramps in no predicable pattern, but I never go more than a week without these things
- strange libido, one day I wouldn't care if I ever had sex again, the next night wake up horny as heck at 2 am
- ears ringing, jaw pain, mystery pains in back and joints regularly

All along I've been assuming these odd things were stress and age related but the more I think about it, there's just too many things, and these things don't necessarily represent the stress of a typical stay at home mom.
Sure, I have had stress and anxiety in the past, but they could always be connected to something large going on in my life. Now, the anxiety and moodiness hit unpredictably and indiscriminately, it seems. For a long time now I feel like I'm a total mess physically and mentally, even more so because I realize something is wrong
I am pretty sure as of right now that I should get this removed. If the symptoms go away I'll then know what caused them in the first place.
I am wondering what happens upon removal, will it also be a roller coaster of physical and mental anguish???????? How long will it last?

I am a reasonably healthy 57 year old male, 6' 1", 220 lbs. I started taking Lisinopril 10mg about 1 year old for HPB. My BP was all over the chart, but averaged at about 160/80. After being on Lisinopril for about 1 week, I noticed that my BP would be about 130/70 in the mornings, but jump back up to about 150/75 in the evenings. I have never achieved the 120/70 range that others talk about. It was also at this time that I developed the tickle and dry cough. I lose sleep by waking up coughing. The cough also comes on at any time, day or night. Sometimes I cough until I feel my head is going to explode. I never cough up anything. Always dry.

Over the last year, I have had other side effects that have come and gone and come back again. Among them have been itchy skin, numbness in fingers and toes, chest pains (EKG's and stress tests were fine), stomach pains, back pain, jaw pain, pounding heartbeat, racing heartbeat, loss of sex drive, erectile dysfunction, vivid dreams (when I sleep), feelings of dread and recurring thoughts of something happening to family members.

Since I do not have any prescription coverage in my insurance, I was happy to find a $4.00 drug, but now that the refills have run out, I think that I will ask the doctor for something else.

Muscle pain in arms,numbness in fingers and hands, nausea and stomach pain within 4 days after each infusion (I have had 3 infusions so far for Crohn's Disease)

Daughter was sick for 6 weeks with what started as a virus . Dr.'s said virus needed to run it's course and allergies were also bad so they put her on Singulair. When she wasn't improving they said she had mono. No improvement, still mono. Still not improving, more specific test, not mono. Dr's chalked it up as she had a virus and was now just depressed from being down for so long. Well when you have mono u r told not do anything and only rest. After weeks of doing this she was depressed and weak. Then we were told that the diagnosis was wrong and we were had been trying to nurse the wrong sickness. Dr's said to send her back to school. By that time our daughter was so far gone it wasn't possible. Every time we left the house she would scream and panic. Experiencing exhaustion and not her self (She loves school & was always a very happy child) I knew there had to be something wrong with her. They sent her to the hospital lab twice and found nothing. Still trying to say she is only depressed but now being rude about by saying that we were just giving her, her way. My husband & I decided that the Dr.'s were not doing there part and trying to get to the bottom of her illness. So we began looking at what had been different in her life over this period of time (5 weeks).The only thing that had changed in her life other than her catching a virus was that she was put on Singulair. We had enough common sense to know that some people may have a reaction to some medicines that others won't. And just because not every Dr. has experienced this doesn't mean it can't happen.We read the pamphlet and all of the side effects. Even the rare ones she was experiencing. Shaking that looked like seizures, body aches, numbness in fingers and toes, extreme fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss, irrational behavior, anxiety, paranoia, coughing, depressed, swelling of the lips, hallucinations, blurred vision,screaming every time she left the house, and complaining of constant pain. We felt like that had to be what it was. So we researched it and found on medications.com story after story of children who had gone through the same thing that she was experiencing. Dr was very rude and said she had never heard of that before and just send her back to school. So my husband ad I made the decision to take her off the med. The day before we rushed her to the hospital was her last day on the Singulair. That turning point was the seizure like shaking,hallucinations, saying that she couldn't hardly see us.That night in the ER they ran a CT Scan and found nothing. They admitted her in the pediatrics unit and we began a week that felt much like a month. They started her on an IV. They called in different Dr's...resident Dr's, pediatricians, etc. Everyone said our theory on the Singulair was possible but since they had never personally experienced a case of that they just weren't sure.When no one could figure out what was wrong they then called in a neurologist. He was very concerned and immediately started assessing her and ordering blood work and tests. She had an MRI and an EEG. All came back normal. He listened to our theory and said it was possible but to be sure he wanted to test for for everything else to make sure nothing was being missed. She had lost 5 lbs before her hospital stay and not sure how much more after that but while in the hospital when I bathed her, it was so sad to see her stomach all shrunken in. They put her on 5 different medicines while in the hospital that we were so upset and torn because then we felt like she was being drugged. They had her on an IV the whole week she was there and hooked up to monitors.She had a couple of really bad episodes while she was there where she felt like she couldn't breath, couldn't stop shaking and then she lost her speech which scared us to death. They ended up sedating her to calm her down. That one episode was on a Wednesday and then Thursday they gave her another medicine and it looked like she was having a bad reaction to it....her eyes were open but she couldn't move her body. We were freaking out thinking something was wrong. I ended up crashing and had to be carried away. All the result of everything going on of course.Everyone on the staff was very frustrated at not being able to help her. We felt like we were loosing our baby.We continued slowly getting through the end of the week and weekend dealing with all the symptoms still. Dr came to the conclusion that he felt she had got a bad virus. Although, he never dismissed the fact that it could be the Singulair but said unfortunately there was no test to look for that. He said parents usually know their kids better than anyone though.Dr. said when she was released she would have to go to inpatient rehab because of the anxiety issues and because she had not walked for so long (4-5 weeks).Dr came in Monday morning and said if she did not start drinking more she was about 2 days away from a feeding tube. During the day she started drinking more and when he came back in that night he said she had drank enough and he took her off the IV and said she could go home and we could do outpatient rehab. We were so happy to take her home even though we knew it would be hard. So the next day, Tuesday, was very hard and we had very serious episodes with not talking, loss of hearing, shaking, still not walking and passing out. We called the Dr. at the hospital and they said it was all due to the anxiety. We were praying over her so hard. Well Wednesday she woke up and said she had no more pain, she was hungry, and she started walking again. We got our baby back! And there is no doubt in our mind that it was that Singulair. We know that it was. From the time we took her off of Singular to the time she was totally restored was 9 days. It happened just like the all the other parents had described. As soon as it was out of her system she all of a sudden came back to us. We decided to not take her back to those pediatricians. I recently took her for a follow up with her Allergist,who was not aware of what had happened and after hearing the story said that he had experienced two of his patients being allergic to Singulair and they had hallucinations. They were pulled off the medicine immediately so their cases were not as extreme as hers. Please be cautious! This was a devastating experience! Please feel free to email us. I have documented our whole story if you would like it emailed to you.

In the past I had taken two separate three day courses for diverticulits, it worked right off, no problems. Last time I had diverticulitis, my doctor prescribed 10 day course of combo levaquin and flagl. After 7 days, I started to get hip joint pain, foot joint pain, and mild numbness in fingers on both hands and toes on one. I called doctor, and stopped the levaquin, and fortunately, the divertiltis was gone. However, the joint pain lessened after stopping but is taking weeks to fully go away.

I have found that silica (usually found in horsetail or oceanic) is helpful against the joint pain. (I had also tried selenium, msm, but were of no help for this joint pain.) Most of the joint pain is gone after several doses of silica, but the numbness, though lessened, lingers on a bit.

i don't think I'll take levaquin again for diverticulitis unless I'm dying. I've found that garlic tablets (I like solary's) very helpful, as is vitamin-c, for fighting back my intenstial bugs, and if I use garlic & vit-c for 5 or more days, it seems to cure the problem. Also I've heard that bacteria do not build up immunity to garlic, that it is a broad-spectrum antiboitic and antiviral, and so even if I stop taking it too soon and the bug comes right back, I can just get back on the garlic for a longer time, no worries about mutant bacteria.

Since changing from Synthroid to Levoxyl almost six months ago, I've gotten worse. I have much of the same symptoms as the one's i've read ie: headaches, swelling, numbness in fingers, fatigue, body aches, depression, hot and cold, but the latest one is very concerning for me, I never had allergies before, and now, my throat is always itchy, my ears are itchy, and it's making me crazy. Also, my fingers get numb and now at night my hands get very hot and itcy also. Can anyone out there relate? Thank you

I had abdominal surgery without knoweledge of a clotting disorder and ended up with portal vein thrombosis. Ive been on coumadin for 2 months and despite the fact that I eat healthy and consistently, and am extremely fitness-oriented, this medicine has been just awful. I'm making my way down the list of side-effects!
nausea, abdominal cramping, fever, chills, spontaneous numbness in fingers and toes, purple discoloration in skin, fatigue and weakness, reflux, vomiting blood which landed me in the hospital for 3 days, a red rash all over the face, blurred vision and horribly dry eyes, slight jaundice, memory lapse, difficulty focusing.....and hair loss.
i really though I was making this all up in my mind so I am so relieved to see I'm not imagining these symptoms!

numbness in fingers numbness in my head muscle pains in arms.

On Lipitor for about 10 years. Starting getting numbness in fingers and arms and upper shoulder. About the same time experienced weekness in arms and legs. Had to stop jogging as my legs were very weak. Lots of night leg cramps. Had an MRI which showed hernited cervical disk. Doctor had me go to rehab which accomplished nothering. Went to chiropractor who took more xray's and showed degenerative arthritis. She indicated she did not think the muscle deterioration was due to any of these problems and noted I had been on Lipitor. She was shocked that the doctor didnt consider this as the culprit. I stopped taking the Lipitor about a month ago. Have had no improvement. Doctors try to get me to take prednisone, mobic, and celebrex. I have refused them all and am going to check out natural cures. I am concerned about the fact that I read the muscle deterioration may not be reversible. It has even afftect the way I walk. I can hardley walk in a straight line. If ever stopped for an alcohol test I would probably be arrested for dui.
