Scoffing symptoms and conditions

I posted on here a few weeks ago complaining about my excessive hair loss to the point of seeing through my hair. I went to my obgyn after reading this forum. He said he is not surprised....that anything containing progestin causes hair loss. Also any traumatic experience....to expect hair loss to start from 3-6 months post trauma....I had a baby, a mirena, marital separation, and 2 d&c, along with a bad delivery and severe blood loss, ALL in a matter of 4 weeks. So, it could be all or one....either way he was not scoffing at my claim of the mirena being the culprit of the hair loss. We agreed to give it a few weeks and see if the loss slowed, if not I will return to have it removed......I also put on a quick 10+ ponds which I am not happy about, but my appetite is raging. I am still breastfeeding too, so I don't know which one is the cause. I also lost hair and gained weight last baby....so who knows. I will keep everyone posted.

Staci from SC

I took Levaquin for 3 days. On the 2nd day, I had trouble lifting my right arm but, at first, I did not associate the problem with Levaquin. On the evening of the 3rd day, I could not use my arms at all. I couldn't dress myself or comb my hair. I could not raise my arms because of severe pain.

I stopped taking the Levaquin and went to the doctor. She scoffed at the idea that Levaquin could have cause my problem. I saw another doctor (more scoffing) and she said I have fibromyalgia. I do not. I am absolutely fine except for my shoulders and upper arms.

I am a 60 year old female who has never had any problems like this. I believe the Levaquin was the cause, especially after I looked up side effects on the 'net, 3 days after starting the drug. After 6 weeks, I am still struggling. I can raise my arms but the pain is intense at night. I have hope that I will recover.
