One in a million symptoms and conditions

I'm back.. I posted back in June when I've had my Mirena for a few weeks... I go to my GYN on july 29 for my check up.
I can actually be one in a million to say I'm very happy I had this IUD inserted. I have never been able to take the pills. I tried the shot once and had a period for 6 months straight... and that was only ONE injection....
The first couple of weeks I did feel like I had a yeast infection... it burned when I pee'd... It hurt to shower... I started to get frustrated..
I didi wait it out.... I told myself that I would tough it out until my check up appointment and IF I didn't feel better I woudll discuss removal ASAP !!!
but I'm fine ... I did cramp for a couple days after insertion. That is now gone .... I was moody for a few days ..... moodiness is gone.... I still get tired but I notice that is getting back to normal also....
I FOR ONE AM GLAD I HAD MIUD INSERTED !!!!
I say good luck to the rest of you...

I am so glad that I stumbled on this page so I can warn others so they won't have to go through what I am going through. I began using NuvaRing in August 2007 because I couldn't remember to always take my pill at night. I noticed a change in my mood, I was having major mood swings which was affecting my home life and my work life (I teach middle school), I was having headaches that would last for days. Also, I began having nausea and a stabbing pain in my right side just under my ribs. I went back to my family doctor (who by the way suggested the ring because that is what she is on) and she set me up for gall bladder tests. I went through 2 inconclusive tests on my gall bladder and was still having pain and nausea. I was then sent to a gastroenterologist for stomach issues. I have had an upper GI, CT scan and MRI. The tests showed that the root of my problem was a tumor on my liver. I am now awaiting an appointment with a specialist to discuss the removal of the tumor or what I can do for it. The ring was the cause of the tumor. I am 29 years old and have always been active, working out, I have 2 small children whom I play with often, I used to play bass guitar at my church but I had to stop that because I was too tired to go to practice! The tumors are very fragile and can burst to cause internal bleeding which can be fatal! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT START THE RING OR TAKE IT OUT TODAY!!!! There is nothing worse than looking at your children and your husband thinking that you could have internal bleeding that could kill you and you would never be able to see them again because you just didn't want to get pregnant! I didn't read the pamphlet that came with it, I just trusted it because that was what my doctor used. This "rare" incident that happens to like one in a million has happened to me! I took it out the 30th of Dec and have had much more energy and felt better about myself. That doesn't change the fact that I have this tumor that I have to deal with now. I was only on it for 4 months!! Be careful

I was on the ring for about two months. It seemed great. My best friend had told me about it. We were loving it. Our boobs even went from a B cup to a C cup. I don't know about her but I know I took it the correct way. Then she came down with a "nasty flu" was what we had to tell her parents, but really, she was pregnant. She ended up terminating the pregnancy because the doctors said it was likely the child would have problems since she was 4 weeks pregnant and was still on the ring. I was a total different case though. I didn't even have any morning sickness until I was 6 weeks pregnant. I went to a specialist and they did an ultrasound and nothing seemed to be wrong so I became a single mother at 18. (I caught my boyfriend cheating 5 months into it). I have since then met at least a dozen other women that just so happened to be that one in a million percent with me.

Maybe it was just a one-in-a-million thing, but I will never, ever touch this medication again. My 2-year-old son tolerates other meds very well with no problems but when we gave him this, he freaked out like he were on an acid trip at a Grateful Dead show. I checked and double-checked the dosage and gave him 2.5 mL (he weighs about 36 pounds), which was the correct amount. He grabbed at invisible floaters, beat wildly at his arms and legs because "there were bugs all over him," and screamed and pointed at things he imagined were trying to get him. I cannot recommend this drug to any young child based on my experience. I hope that his reaction was just a rare aberration but regardless, we'll never touch the stuff again.

I AM A 63 YEAR OLD FEMALE WITH A GENETIC IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT. OVER A YEAR AGO I TOOK LIPITOR FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY - FACE, ARM, HAND, LEG, AND FOOT, STARTED TINGLING AND GOING NUMB. ONLY THE LEFT SIDE, AND IT WOULD LAST SECONDS, MINUTES, OR TWO HOURS AT A TIME. I COULDN'T RELATE IT TO ANY PARTICULAR ACTIVITY OR MOVEMENT. MY CARDIOLOGIST INSISTED IT WASN'T CAUSED BY AN INTERACTION WITH MY HEART MEDICATIONS (TOPROL AND RYTHMOL) AND REFERRED ME TO A NEUROLOGIST.
THE FIRST MRI SHOWED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CYST IN THE THIRD VENTRICLE OF MY BRAIN. VERY SCARY. SO I
INSISTED ON A SECOND MRI. THERE WAS NO CYST AND I LEFT THE NEUROLOGIST WITHOUT ANY DIAGNOSIS AND A HUGE BILL. MY HUSBAND TOLD FAMILY I HAD "MAD COW'S DISEASE" WHEN I WAS UNABLE TO WALK PROPERLY DURING AN EPISODE.
DESPITE THE CARDIOLOGIST'S OPINION I STOPPED TAKING
LIPITOR AND WITHIN A WEEK THE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED.
A FEW MONTHS LATER I EXPERIENCED VERTIGO EPISODES,
EVEN WHILE TURNING OVER IN BED, BUT IT ONLY LASTED A WEEK, AND IS PROBABLY UNRELATED - WHO KNOWS - THE CARDIOLOGIST STILL WON'T BELIEVE THE LIPITOR CAUSED
ME A PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM I KNOW MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TAKE IT SUCCESSFULLY, BUT I'M HIS ONE IN A MILLION THAT CANNOT TAKE IT. NO MORE PRESCRIPTIONS!
