Odds symptoms and conditions

I am on the nuvaring, but I am not having the same complications that everyone else seems to have. I have been on the nuvaring for about three and a half years. Everything seemed to be going great with this new birth control until about 4 months ago when i didn't start my period. So, my fiance and i decided to get a pregnancy test and sure enough it was positive. With me being in my third year of college and having to change our wedding date, our lives have taken a drastic turn.Now that i am 18 weeks pregnant i am trying to keep a close look out on any other nuvaring pregnancies. I had found 2 others around my area who were having the same problem as me, so i knew i was not alone. Then the most shocking news came to me when my brothers girl friend called me one morning telling me she hadn't started her period yet. She was on the nuvaring too, let me remind you. The odds of her and I both getting pregnant on a birth control that is 99.9% accurate is a 1 and a million chance. What are the odds of that? Sure enough she is pregnant too. So our question is, was there a bad lot of nuvarings sent out around the same areas or what? And its not like we misused them either. we have both been on it for a long time, so we know the do's and don'ts. So, id there anyone else out there with this problem?

I am almost to the end of my 2nd pack of Loestrin24Fe. I have no thad my period since I started it!! At first I was nervous thinking I was pregnant. Not pregnant. Just not getting period. My breasts have been so tender and sore to the touch. I have never have breasts tenderness like this in my life. At first I thought all of this would eventually go away. I am trying to remain patient. I am thinking maybe after the 3rd pack I will be back to normal again. I don't like the fact Im missing my period because skipping periods boosts the odds of breast cancer.etc. I am bloated and feel disgusting. I don't think its good to keep switching birth control pills. After reading all the posts I see there really isn't a happy medium. Women either have their periods for months straight or not at all. Ahhhh!! I think this is giving me mood swings as well. I have never had a problem with my skin. In fact I get a pimple about once every two years! All of a sudden I am noticing some minor breakouts on my forehead. Not pimples just bumpiness! I guess Im not alone.

My father has been on Coreg CR for about 2mths now and is using 80mg. He is very short of breath and I was wondering if it's the Coreg CR or his CHF? He had a problem with the CHF acting up and developed a cough and SOB, but now his lungs are all is clear and his SOB is worse. He also is very tired or fatigued and has no energy what so ever. He just doesn't want to do a thing.

BEWARE OF TENDON RUPTURE DUE TO BACTRIM / LEVAQUIN
I had a UTI that was resistant to Bactrim. After ten days of Bactrim I was put on ten days of Levaquin. Ended up with white blotches (I am dark-
skinned) all over my body. But that's not all. Then my Achilles tendons nearly burst. Horrible pains I couldn't imagine how it was caused. Come to find out that both Bactrim and Levaquin have tendon rupture as a side-effect (never heard it from the doctor or pharmacist though). Since I was on both for a total of twenty days... I suppose I was fair game. Medicine is often a good thing for many who could not reduce or alleviate their ailments without it -- but I would have really liked to have known my increased risk of tendon rupture BEFORE the fact. The odds are probably quite remote for anyone to experience tendon rupture when taking these antibiotics, but were elevated in my case due to the immediate back-to-back, double-dose of Bactrim and levaquin. I hope this posting can prevent my experience from happening to someone else.

I Started taking Lisinopril a week ago. I been a zombie every since. I just found out it is Brazilian snake venom. The first time I taken it my bottom lip swelled. I was given benadryl. I cannot hardly function. I have nausea, i been vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and right now. I feel like I have something in my throat. Feel like my tongue is swollen in the back. I feel like i'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. Because If I quit taking it. My pressure will rise. So, what's a girl to do?

I received a Kenalog shot last Oct and again in Feb 04. I did not know about any side effects until I discovered this site, but looking back I now know what may be the cause of my irregular periods. I have had 2 periods a month for the 3 mos following the shots with heavy bleeding. I never connected this problem to the shots. In January, my normal period reumed, but now that I just had another shot, I am afraid I am in for another 2 periods a month. Although I took the shots for my allergies and it helps considerably, I have to now weigh the odds to see if I want to consider future injections.

"Levaquin was not the cause of my pain symptoms. "
I saw my doctor (a rare good doc) who after a full exam said Levaquin was not the cause of my pain symptoms.

I stongly suggest that your physician take another look at the PDR for levaquin. Such pain as you are describing is also an adverse drug reaction to this drug. I am not saying the levaquin is to blame but the odds are very good that it is. Very few, if any phsicians even have a clue as to the damage that fluoroquinolones can and will do to a subset of those prescribed and dismiss such concerns out of hand stating "it cannot be the drug" when in fact it is. Within this class of antibiotic more than 50% have been removed from clinical use due to toxicity issues. Spontaneous tendon rupture has been reported since 1982, and more recently pheripheal nueropathy as well.
