Pity party symptoms and conditions

It has been almost two years since I took one tablet of 500 mg levaquin for a throat infection. I immediately felt lightheaded, then came the hot prickly skin, rapid heartbeat, insomnia and just a feeling of doom. I did not take another pill. Right after this my ankles started to hurt and podiatrist said had a torn posterier tibial tendon. To this day, I cannot walk without a limp, and can only wear athletic shoes with orthotics. If I stand for or walk for a small period of time I am in a lot of pain and have to sit. I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis from the inflammatory markers in blood tests and rf factor, even though mri of my hands and wrists are normal. My right shoulder and arm hurt, my wrists and fingers hurt, my knees, neck. It is better, but I will never be the same as I was - no more running, walking my dog, going camping with my daughters girl scout troop - can't go hiking. I am 50 and I feel like I am 90. Would like to sue someone.

I have been on Yasmin for about 9 months now and my side effects keep getting worse. I think it is time to try something esle but I am scared of what side effects I may have from a different pill. I feel tired ALL the time. It doesn't matter if I sleep 8 or 10 hours a night. On the weekends I take naps with my kids and still nothing! I have no desire to go to work and the only thing that gets me out of bed are knowing my kids need me. I could stay in bed and sleep all day. It is scary!!! The past 3-4 months I have noticed a few days before my period I get really depressed and am very emotional. For those few days every month I hate my life and everything seems to go wrong. I have never been one to have a pity party for myself but those few days I feel like the world is against me. I thought maybe I have some kind of problem and need to go to the doctor but after reading this and really thinking about when I started feeling so tired all points to the Yasmin. It amazes me that so many other people have problems. I am really going to my doctors now! Good Luck to you all.
