my tongue feels like a piece of raw meat, my sleep is impaired, my stomach hurts , and about 2 hours after i take my dose my brain feels like it's rolling around in my head.
i'm glad i'm having these side effects because it makes me more determined than ever that i will use alternative medicine to repair my immune system and get my body back in balance. i hadn't had an antibiotic in 10 years before i took my first dose of Levaquin a year ago and my immune system has been going downhill ever since with about 1 UTI per month.

Hi I am 25 years old... I have been on the NuvaRing for about 2+ years. I have never had a problem with it... I actually thought it was the best invention ever for birth control until recently. I have been getting "Hot Flashes" or at least thats what I have been calling them for about 3 months now. I would be sitting at work or watching a tv and get extremely over heated to the point that if I don't cool myself down quickly I get dizzy and light headed. I didn't think it had anything to do with the NuvaRing at first but after going to the doctor and getting my blood test my Thyroid test came back basically normal. I am still waiting on the endocrinologist or gland doctor since i think i spelt that wrong. But either way I think i getting myself off of this medication. If anyone has any idea of what else this could be please let me know. I was told that it could be caused by something else. I do work with raw meat and seafood and come in contact with it on a daily basis. I also have a kitten at home. He has all his shoots but i got him when he was 8 weeks old with no shoots. Some people told me that thats a possible carrier of something that can cause this but its rare. I would like any and all impute on this if possible. Thanks and good luck to all that are having this problem. Oh and I definitely do not recommend the PATCH that made me doubled over in pain ever month.
