Rr symptoms and conditions

I had a lap done last year in May and my doctor removed an adhesion that was hanging above my uterus. Also a fibroid (3 cm) was found in the muscle and is located right against my bladder. My doctor could not remove the fibroid because of its location and because of a risk that I might have scar tissue and could be a problem to get pregnant. He also said that I could have some other complications, like lose a lot of blood. I feel like he is not being straight with me. I also have ovarian cysts which is common in the women in my family. Since a teenager, I always had really bad cramps and heavy bleeding. As I got older, it became worse. Before I had the lap done, I bleed for 6 weeks straight. I was changing pads every 30 minutes. Then my stomach extended so far out that I looked pregnant. I could not sit or stand. My husband had to take me to the E.R. An ultrasound was done and found that my uterus was enlarged (9 cm). I was put on Nothridone to control the bleeding and to treat endometriosis. After taking 2 months of this drug my doctor did a vag lap and abdomen lap. Everything was good that is what he said. I believed it. I was doing better. I was working and had no pain for 8 months. Then it all changed for the worse. I started to have really heavy menstrual bleeding and lots of blood clots. I felt week all the time and sick. The bleeding went on for 8 weeks and finally my doctor said that I had to take Lupron injections. I asked my doctor if he could just do a myomectmy and he said no because that was should be the last result. I could no longer stand the pain and I asked him what kind of side effects come with this drug. He made it sound like it was not bad and that there are very little side effects. He gave me a some information about the drug and I read the information and I did a lot of research. I was terrified but I had to make a choice. I was calling in sick because I could not work with the pain and worrying about embarrassing moments when my pads failed to keep me from overflowing. So I took the 1st shot in May along with add-bak therapy which is Nothridone. The bleeding tapered off slowly and the pelvic pain decreased. I did not feel any side affects right away until the second week. I started to forget things and would just stand in the middle of a room feeling confused. I always had headaches since a child but now they are pounding headaches, which I cannot stand any noise. I also can't stand the light. I have body aches like I have the flu and have problems with my right hip all of a sudden. I had a x-ray done because my doctor thought I might have fractured my hip. There was no sign of a fracture but my pelvis id tilted. I have some arthritis in my spine which I do not understand how that happened. Sometimes I cannot walk and I have to use crutches to get around. I cry all the time because I am extremely sensitive and confused. I use to be a very strong person and now I just cry all the time. I called my doctor to tell him what I have been experiencing and he said its all normal. I have already had a total of three Lupron injections and the symptoms just get worse. I have been spotting here and there, sometimes I have a pinkish discharge, and now the pelvic pain is back. My doctor knows this and he just says its normal. I requested for another ultrasound because I am worried something is wrong and he said that I have to wait until I get the 6th injection.I feel like my doctor is insensitive but he is supposed to be the best GYN doctor where I live. I also want to say that I have gained 20 pounds in three months. My sex drive is gone. My hair is thinning. I lost my job because I ran out of FMLA. This has been a nightmare! I am losing trust in my doctor. My poor husband and family are having to put up with what I am going through. I pray all the time to help be stay focused and think positive. I just do not know what to do anymore. Is there anyone out there that can give me some advice?

I started Lipitor 2 months ago, today is April 23, 2009.
1 month ago I started with Vertigo, doctors have tried many things to get rid of it but can't.
! week ago I started having trouble breathing, talking very short walks, problems still with vertigo, pain (headaches) on my left side, and I never have had headaches, pain in my neck left of the c-7 vertebrae.
Now 2 days ago I have problems swallowing food in the center of my chest, it really hurts, so now I am on an ice cream diet to figure things out.
I went to my doctor yesterday due to all my problems, which are all new in the past 7 weeks, and she did an x-ray, and blood work thinking I had a blood clot in my lungs.
At 6:30 pm last night 4-22-2009 she called me to go to the emergency room and have a cat scan done, and the results were I am loaded with lip-nodes in my chest and arm pits, and it look like cancer, so I have an appointment today at 2:00 pm to see what the plan of attack is.

After usual injection for eye examination there was subcutaneous
blood leakage in a patch about 1 square inch on my right arm
showing red color from the blood and a central yellow region.
There was severe itching in this area. I take plavix and aspirin.
Have others had this reaction?

I was given Reglan in an IV early in my pregnancy for constant vomiting and dehydration. I was told it was the safest anti-nausea drug during pregnancy. As soon as the IV went in my arm I experienced anxiety and panic. By day three on this drug, I was in a severe panic attack with severe depression and thoughts of suicide. I have no history of mental illness. I went to the ER for help to talk with a counselor or psychiatrist. I can remember crying violently and saying that I was going to die. The ER doctor had me committed to a locked ward for the suicidal. I was kept there for 12 hours and released once the doctor at this facility was told by myself that I had no history of these feelings. She said that it was a side effect from the Reglan. This drug has caused me to still have a low grade depression. I have two kids and one on the way. I blame this drug for altering the quality of my life and my family's lives. If anyone knows a lawyer that deals with Reglan cases, let me know. I'd like to fight this. I can't believe this drug is still on the market.

I had a minor surgery done and they stealthily injected Versed. I was not anxious in the slightest bit until they gave me this poison. Since then I have had SEVERE anxiety and panic attacks. While I did not have amnesia until after they had given me 7 mls. (an overdose) along with Propofol and other drugs, I was completely compliant with whatever they told me to do, against my will. I endured their nasty comments about me and was unable to defend myself, being almost paralyzed by Versed. It was a nightmare! My anxiety level has still not returned to normal after almost 2 years. This is a very bad drug.

I am a 47yo male, I had 4 hearts placed in 10/06 they put me on plavix and lipitor 40mg. I exercised daily- cycled 40 miles a day, I can not do that now. I have bad back pain and chest pain (plavix) the cardiologist did a second stress test in 12/06 and it was clean, the lipitor and plavix are the issue and at this point I have no choice other than to live with it or take the risk of clotting these medicated stents.....any thoughts please let me know.

I think the lisinopril is causing tingling sensations in my hands, and my feet seem to sweat tho not hot, but that also could be the torprol I take.

I don't have a problem with coughing or anything or sleep problems but I do have problems with drowsiness and dizziness latly.

cut the dosage of my torprol but the dizziness persists. so I am guessing the tiredness is either the lisinopril or torprol. I did notice once I started to take lisinopril I went to the bathroom alot at first, then it stopped, and I noticed a slight increase in salt cravings despite being on birth control pills which stablizing hormones. never had salt cravings before. but the salt cravings are not nearly as bad as the salt cravings I got taking rapimil, can't remember the exact name.

I was on Prednisone for 30 days. My face became disfigured. It is bigger and very swollen and round. I stopped taking it on October 18th. It is now December 9th. I still have a swollen face. Can anyone give me advice on how to get rid of it. My doctor told me it would go away and that it takes 2 to 3 months. It is almost 2 months now. No change. I feel like I have rubber on my face. Please email me with advice If anyone out there has experienced the same thing and for you it did go away. Thank you. ******

I recently began taking Levaquin for an infection I received after donating a kidney to my sister last year.

I too was never warned by my doctor about the potential side effects. I had no idea that this drug could cause tendon and muscle damage if rigorous exercise is performed.

I am currently training for a marathon and told my doctor this but was never warned about the risk. One day after taking the drug I was out running and began having extreme tendon pain. The pain was located just below my calf and has persisted for the last 2 weeks.

Just having recently moved to the US from Canada I am shocked at the lack of information the US doctors give to their patients. I had informed the doctor about my exercise schedule but no mention was made about the possible effects this drug could have on me.
