Pre diabetes symptoms and conditions

Wow, thanks to all of you for bolstering my confidence that it's the lisinopril causing every muscle in my body to ache. I'm so sorry for all of you that suffered through this for years. I've only been on the drug for two weeks, but today I could hardly move. I went to my massage therapist today and everything she touched was painful. I have no energy whatsoever (and no sex drive). It's the only medication I take, prescribed for mildly elevated blood pressure, pre-diabetes. I'm a very active person and I noticed what my body was telling me immediately. Any suggestions as to the best alternative medication out there?

Can anyone tell me if you can just stop Lipitor cold turkey or do you have to stop it slowly? I have been taking Lipitor for 5 years now and I have been trying to find out what is causing my leg weakness. I mentioned it to my doctor who said it si just a fact of getting older. The problem is getting worse and I noticed it started about 3 months after taking the Lipitor and has steadily gotten worse. I am 49 years old a little over weight {which I am working on}. I also noticed my asthma which I haven't delt with since a small child has come back. This may or may not have to do with the Lipitor but the pain in my knees and legs I believe do. It really hurts in the joints of my legs and sometimes in my shoulder area.

I have been on the NuvaRing for 7 months and Thank YOU all for your helpful comments. The last 7 months I have been this crazy, emotional, roller coaster, just like the rest of you. I have made excuse after excuse for all my emotions and let it happen because I thought it was just me. I have recently started feeling the headaches about 2 months ago, I didn't even imagine it was because of the BC until I read this. I have never had headaches like this before, it was never a problem I had. This is the first BC I have ever taken and I mean it was crazy .. I started telling my boyfriend that i thought something was wrong with me and that I thought it was something serious but I even went to the doctor and he took all my blood work, we even did a pre diabetes test and it all came up normal and healthy, so I just thought it was me and I thought I was crazy. Another thing I had like the rest of you was NO SEX DRIVE, I mean once I got started, I liked it, but it was hard for him to get me started. Anyway, this website explains a lot, it just sucks that it took me 7 months to realize that all of this could possibly be my BC. I took it out 2 hours ago and I will post again to let you know what happens next. Note to all the women taking this Ring: If you have all these side effects then stop or at least try one month off of it because I have never had health issues and these side effects did not start until I started the NuvaRing, don't wait until it is too late because while I was looking for this website, I saw other websites about lawsuits against NuvaRing for blood clots, stokes, and heart attacks, and although that didn't happen to me (so far) I don't want it to happen to you.

175 mcg Synthroid, post Total Thyroidectomy due to bilateral papillary thyroid cancer. Increased appetite and increased bowel activity have been noted as well as a weight gain....even though my level of medication would normally be categorized as hyperthyroid(low TSH is indicated for post cancer treatment) recent tests have indicated elevated blood sugar as well("pre diabetes") some times I wonder if I shouldn't have just risked the cancer.....

After by-pass heart surgery in 2002, my cardilogist put me on 40mg of zocor.
I was in good health with no physical limitations. I had no heart damage. The restriction of heart arteries were found due to my stress test that was performed each year as a part of my annual Physical. After surgery I was on zocor for three years, during that time I experienced a little tiredness, little weakness, a little muscle aches. some tingling in my right arm and shoulder. I went to my heart doctor Jan. 2006 and he changed me to vytorin (10mg zetia and 40mg zocor). about 6 months all of the about symptoms got worse.
By Jan. 2007, my muscles became so stiff, I could not walk, had balance problems, severe muscle aches and cramps, numbness and tingling in both arms and hands, also stifness and pain in my hands, stiffness and pain in both feet, stifness and pain in my back and weird nerve sensations over my entire body. During Jan. and Feb 2007, I was seen by my family doctor, a neurologist, and a muscle doctor. Thanks to the internet, I found info on zocor and zetia, which is the drug vytorin. Warnings described the same symptoms I am experiencing. I stopped vytorin, I am not taking any statins drugs now. My doctor order a blood test to check for muscle damage, It indicated severe damage, a Creatine level of 770. This level should not be over 200. After being off the drugs for 30 days the creatine level dropped to 645. My condition has improved by 25%. I am walking a little better, but I still having muscle problems, there is improvement. I think there will be a very long recovery. There seems to be some evidence that these Statins affect people of age much more than the young. I am 70 years old. PLEASE PEOPLE, IF YOU ARE TAKING STATINS DRUGS, STOPPED NOW! SLOVE YOUR CHOLESTROL PROBLEMS BY OTHER MEANS. Since I stopped my cholestrol has gone from 157 to 280, but I am not going back taking these drugs. I am trying the natural way now. I have read post after post on many web-sites of people with the same symptoms that were using these drugs. The drug companies and the FDA are responsible for the the degradation of people's health taking these statin drugs.

I have been taking advair for 7 years I am 28 years old. The only symptom I noticed was weight gain until I got the results of my blood work. I am now classified as pre-diabetes, with no history of this in my family. I believe it is because of the use of Advair. I am going to my doctor tomorrow to get off it.
