Riding in the car symptoms and conditions

Hi Everyone!
I too am thankful for having found this site. I had Mirena inserted back in April of this year. Can I tell you the pain was worse than child birth! I have 3 children and had NO drugs during child birth, so my pain threshold is high.It was so painful that after the long insertion time I almost passed out. Two weeks after having it inserted, I was riding in the car with my husband and had such bad cramping that I had to use my breathing from childbirth class! I had bleeding all the time. Not heavy, but annoying. I also felt like someone is up in my uterus pinching me hard it hurts so bad. my breasts are huge, my stomach is bloated (just in time for summer and the bikini...not) I have cramps, I feel depressed, nothing interests me anymore, I cant laugh with my kids,I am moody all the time and generally felt like crap. I made an appt. with gyno to have ultasound done to make sure it was in place correctly. It was. the OB told me I could have all these symptoms for up to a year! No way am I dealing with this for a year. I tried to hold out for a while longer and some of the symptoms have subsided a bit. The bleeding is less often, but I still get very bad pains. I have now also developed very bad back pain. It is located lower back/hips,and will sometimes travel into the front of my thigh. I thought it was due to a car accident, but having gone to a chiropractor and been fixed from the accident, it is still there. I thought it was in my head, but having read all the posts I feel pretty sure it is because of this Mirena IUD.
I made an appt. with my OB and I am having the darn thing removed!! I am glad I read these posts girls, as I was still not sure if I should leave it in for a while longer to see if things improve more. But I had to ask myself a question. Is it worth it? feeling bad physically ALL the time and sad?. the answer was simple. NO. It is coming out and I hope it wont be long before I feel like my old self again!
Best of luck to you all.

my 5 year old son has been taking singulair for reactive airway disease for just over a year. since he began taking the medicine, he has slowly become more and more distracted, irritable, moody, aggressive, anxiety ridden and clingy. the anxiety has been especially noticeable-he's developed odd phobias and fear of things like semi trucks and spiders and riding in the car. (things he never had a problem with before, and things that seem odd for a 5 year old to be worrying about) he also has had regular complaints of stomach pains (especially first thing in the morning), headaches and pain in his ears (which he has seen the doctor for on more than once occasion, and each time i've been told that there was no ear infection). he recently started kindergarten and his teacher has also noticed that he seems spacey and inattentive, as well as restless and "lost in his own world". due to the fact that there are several people on my husband's side of the family who have been diagnosed with ADD, we were beginning to feel that perhaps our son had it, too. we've been doing research and have spoken with his teacher and the school counselor about possible ADD, and just tonight we were sitting down and filling out an ADD checkpoint questionnaire for the school. i happened to glance at some of the reference material the school counselor sent to us along with the questionnaire, and i noticed that one of the points of reference for ADD diagnosis is that the person in question isn't on any "highly stimulating medications." it was right at that moment when i put two and two together and realized that our son's symptoms began right after he began taking singulair, so i came online to do a side effect web search, which is how i found this site. i can not believe how shocked i am to read all these other people's experiences with this medication!! i feel terrible that i've been making my son take something so questionable for so long, and i feel just as bad that i was about to seriously consider putting him on ADD medication!! now i am definitely going to try taking him off the singulair first and see if that changes his behavior! thank you all so much for sharing your stories. they really do help!

I have been taking Doxycycline Hyclate 100mg twice a day for over two years now. It was a rough road in the beginning. If I don't take it with a good amount of food, I get indigestion, followed by urgent bowel movement, then nausea leading to vomiting. Every time, within half an hour of taking it. If I take it with yogurt or fruit, same thing happens, so I eat more substantial or starchy foods. The difference in my acne is miraculous, so I keep taking it. All my side effects are temporary, no lasting effects. The warning on the label about avoiding sun is there for a reason, I burn so easily now, even while riding in the car on a sunny day, and it feels like tiny droplets of hot oil being spattered on my skin.

I took my first dose of lisinopril 10mg on Friday morning. By 2:00 pm, the abdominal cramping was so bad, I ended up on the couch unable to move. Have been unable to eat anything, including cream of wheat, without feeling every part of my intestines cramping for the first hour or so after eating. The longer I go without eating or drinking, the more reduced the pain seems. But every time I stand up, I feel as though my contents of my abdomen are going to spill onto the floor. Riding in the car over bumpy roads is no picnic either. I didn't take my pill this morning hoping that this would all go away. It hasn't. I am due to see a nurse practitioner tomorrow am (after two calls to the office to complain about this). The saddest part of this is that at my physical last Thursday, my PCP declared me in great health...and just wanted to change my BP med from a beta-blocker to the lisonopril because I had complained of the former's sedative effects. I guess I should be careful about what I say when it comes to the meds.

"Anxiety attack" - first time EVER, approx. 1 1/2 weeks after starting Advair. I was just riding in the car and all of a sudden felt like I was going to pass out/die, then had numb face and hands and some palpitations and higher breathing rate. I had been also having a lot of nausea (even waking up in the middle of the night feeling nauseous). Got off of it and all problems went away. Allergist didn't believe Advair could cause this, put GP said he could see it as a possibility.
