Reck symptoms and conditions

22 years old i have had Coltis for 5 years,flair ups pretty much the whole time, i have been on Prednisone a lot this last time has been the WORSE!!! All i can say is i hate it!! i was put in hospital the 4th time steroid thou the iv for 5 days sent home got worse again back to hospital then to try Cyclosporin thou the iv and also the steroid thou the iv. Ten days later they sent me home on prednisone coming off the iv was hard the pain in my legs was unbelievable!!! finally i was sent home on prednisone,coliform anemas,salfak anemas,and salfak granuls,i thought the worst was over but it was far from it... I turned in to a complete loony,crazy women i don't even know myself anymore my poor partner and kids. Having to deal with the pain and everything eles that comes with having a flair up but then also going though the side effects of the prednisone and the coliform was unbearable, i just wanted to die! My flair up was not getting much better and i hated myself as i felt i did not know myself with the mood swings, the crazy flip outs,crying all the time.My partner has been great having to pick me up off the ground and turn the crying reck into someone half normal. I hate the moon face,weight gain, im hungry ALL the time,night sweats,sleepless nights sore teeth,I have come off it now its been 4 days, so now all i need to stop its the coliform then i will be steroid FREE!!!!! i cannot wait!! For my face to go down and to be normal and back to the good old me! I forget what shes like... Coming off the Prednisone has been hard with the leg pain,muscle aches,head aches,mood swings,nausea. Its just hard as no one around me understands what im going though or what it feels like so i just sound like a sookie cry baby or a raving loony. does anyone know how long it takes for moon face to go away??? I wish everyone luck with there battles with Prednisone, its one of the hardest things i have had to deal with. =) your not alone. stay strong and be positive even throu your lowest times.

I started a new job in January as a nurse and started to experience what I thought were stress attacks. I always new I had a fast heart rate 124 beats per minute at times but just thought it was the way my body was. So for the last few months I have been angry, tired, had heart palpitations through out the day and just have been feeling miserable. I have been on Yasmin for 4 years. The other day at work I felt my heart pounding in my chest and checked my heart rate and it was 140 beats per minute, my blood pressure was up (I normally have low bp) and I felt dizzy. I went to my GP after work and he suggested seeing a heart specialist as I was in sinus tachycardia. I decided to do some research into whether Yasmin could cause these symptoms as I felt there must be a reason. I am so glad that I found this sight!
I am an emotional reck at the moment and am so tired!

My 21 mo. old son has been on Singulair along with Zyrtec & Pulmicort daily for a year for severe allergies & asthma. The Singulair has done wonders for his asthma, but his mood swings are completely intolerable! He can go from my sweet little angel to devil child in no time! I was thinking that it was from the Pulmicort (being an inhaled steroid). It's almost like a "steroid rage" that he goes through. The little things make him mad. He punches, slaps, throws himself in the floor, all while kicking and screaming! I just happened to do some research this morning on Pulmicort side effects when I stumbled across all of these experiences that are being linked to Singulair instead. I am so thankful that I may have found our problem!!! Pray for us!!! My patience & his treatment!!!

I have only been on estrpstep for about a week and already have lost weight. Actually for the last few days I have had bouts of nausea and have no or little interest in eating. I also feel like an emotional reck my chest looks and feels huge. This is my 3rd change of oral contraceptives and well, I feel like giving up. I was on othro for about 4 years until my bad cramps were coming back, which began this trial and error. All I know is that I'm miserable. Any advice?
