Sensitivity symptoms and conditions

Got a Decadron injection for food allergy in right shoulder... burned badly at the time. Arm went "numb" and yet painful to the touch. 8 weeks later still feeling nerve-type sensitivity pain and/burning if pressure is applied!

I started the NR in June of this year. I like the fact that I don't have to take a pill every morning; I found that to be my biggest problem with BC in the past. The ring only gives me a 3 day period at most. My boyfriend and I soon found out that it is a "barrier" with sex. Now every time we have sex, I take it out then replace it when we're done. My boobs grew almost a full cup size. The thing that has been concerning me lately is I have been experiencing hyper-sensitivity at the beginning of sex; and I think it has to do with where the ring is inside me. Has anyone else experienced this side effect? This is the one that really worries me. I am considering a new BC...I'll take a pill everyday to get rid of this pain!

O an by the way woman who thinks im insensitive, how da ya feel now?.... ya thats what i thought,,,you rellly shouldnt talk when u dont know. i learned that when i was 4, i guess ur just a lil slow

My 7 year old daughter has been on singular for 1 month. I have noticed weigth gain, crabby crabby and mean aggressive behavior....she used to be able to memorize her spelling words in school easily and now cant focus....she has seasonal allergies which 1 time brought me to urgent care because she was wheezing...so she ended up on this singular....i dont know what to do....she has anxiety and just cant focus...but i just dont know if it is the medicine???? or not???? i would have to say yes, her behavior is just mean and she is alittle sweet girl......i am sure there are 100,000 of 7 year old kids with successful treatments....where are those people???? i am going to take her off this medication

I started taking yaz about 8 months ago January 2007. I started getting some calf pain in the morning but didn't think anything about it, then when I went on vacation at the end of June both calves were hurting, I ended up going to a doctor on vacation and she gave me some muscle relaxers. By the time I flew back home in July, I ended up in the emergency room and given a strong pain reliever. I ended up going on line and went to my doctor the next day and told her that I thought it was Yaz, she send me for an ultra sound and I had a superficial clot in my left calf. Since I have ended up going to a vein specialist and am wearing support hose. Both legs are still really hurting (including my knees and ankles), I also have had severe eye pain and have gone to the opthalmologist, I have been prescribed glasses but feel now that it is the yaz, I have been off yaz for about 2 months and still having severe muscle pain, does anyone know how long this lasts...

I started taking the pill 2 weeks ago for ance problems. I have experienced severe nausea, and an extreme burning sensation in the sun! I also have chest pains. my acne doesnt seem to be getting too much better.The nausea is sometimes unbearable! We'll see what happens when i keep taking it.

I have had the mirena in for over 9 months, since then I have gained 26 pounds !!! I weigh more now then I did when I was 9 months pregnant !! My breasts have gone from a DD to a triple D, even when I was breast feeding for 5 months they never were this big ! I go months without a period and then when I get one its horrrible cramping and the bleeding seems like its never going to go away, sex drive has gone way down & its also painful no matter what position you try !, my midwife put me on prescription diet pills to help me get my weight in control, i couldnt believe it , nothing has changed my diet and excersize are the same, also I have had major mood swings and repeated yeast infections that my doc said are from the mirena. I have mine taken out on Oct. 3rd I cant wait this thing just isnt for me !!

To all the others with the same reactions to mirena, after it was taken out did you start to loose weight ?

This was the worst experience! I started taking Doxy to rid myself of infection that might be caused due to a vaginal procedure. I started taking the med on Monday afternoon, by Thursday night my legs and arms were on fire it seemed. The tingly feeling you are talking about. I completely lost my appetite. I was tired, weak, lightheaded, nauseated. Here it is five days after I have stopped the med and I still feel the burning, tingly skin. Also, I had muscle pain that caused my skin to be sore to even touch. I cringed at the thought of someone touching me for two days. NEVER AGAIN will I take this. I mean, after all, it's strong enough to be used for ANTHRAX, how strong does that have to be?

I have only been on the nuva ring for a week now but ever since the second day i had it in i have been feeling groggy like i don't want to do anything but sleep, i've been getting cramps, headaches, backaches, nasua and dry heaving like i've never expirenced. the pill made me have irregular periods, the shot i was scared of because i never had any period at all, so i thought the ring would be the best solution. do you think this has anything to with with my sensitivity to medicine dosages or the sore throat i seemed to get out of nowhere?

so glad to read these comments as most of my doctors have told me warfarin has no side effects. mine are increased sensitivity to cold, foggy brain, memory problems, persistent itchy rash on my leg, clumsiness, lightheadedness, frequent fatigue.

on 9mg, Protein S deficiency. my INR also bounces all over the place too.

Just found this site and am so relieved to know that I'm not going crazy! I took Advair for only two weeks after a poor spirometry reading at my doctor's office and had such horrible anxiousness and panic attacks that I thought I was losing my mind. Needless to say I stopped taking it. I later was told by an Allergy/Asthma specialist that there's some kind of stimulant in Advair (much like caffeine) that most likely caused the adverse reaction. I'm highly sensitive to caffeine and other stimulants. I warn anyone with this same sensitivity to discuss it with their doctor before taking Advair. I will never take it again.

First, I don't really like taking BCPs and have avoided them like the plague in the past. After giving birth to my first child this past December I had some complications. My doctor tried to fix the complication with BCPs, not Yasmin, and apparently they worked. I was recently prescribed Yasmin by my doctor as I am SO not ready to get pregnant again. I only took the pills for 5 days and then stopped, at my husband's request, and for my personal quality of life. I am not sure if the pills are the cause of my symptoms or not as I was only on them for 5 days but here they are. I woke up every morning with a headache, a nagging headache that did not go away. I had terrible nausea and hot flashes. The worst thing happened on the 5th day. I was shopping with my mother at a store that I have frequented when I had a terrible reaction. I had vision problems and felt as if I was going to faint. I have never had this feeling in the past when visiting this store, it was a sensitivity to the lighting, I think?

I quit taking the pills 5 days ago. Yesterday I started my second period for the month which may be my own fault for stopping so abruptly. At least I hope that is the cause and it isn't something more serious.

ive been gettin severe chest pain in the middle of my chest could this be from taking this medicine

Itching of skin all over body and vagainal itching. I began taking the medicine due to sensitivity of vagainal area from sex and the vagifem really helped for a while. Then I began experiencing the itching of the vagina again and all over my body. I stopped using the product and within one week the itching was gone.

Hi I have been on zoloft for 3 months and the very first side effect I can remember was being really freaking tired. I mean like very weak. My mouth got really dry. I had loose stools for awhile. I would steady shake and feel tremors in my hands. I would get really scared. My anxiety attack during the 1st month got worse. My sleep pattern was wonderful for the 1st month. I lost my appetite for food for about a couple of weeks. I didnt notice the fog coming until like my 2nd month. Sometimes you mind would get foggy and you would stare in one place and you would snap out of it. On the end of my second month i noticed i was getting happier and my anxiety went away just a little. You would experience tremors when you take your pill on a empty stomach or miss a pill. I noticed it makes you smile quite a bit but you still remain in a fog like state. My 3rd month now it seems to elevate your moods so you can feel a little symptoms and then you feel it go awy from time to time. I know ccrazy and vivid things run in your mind. I also notice you are sensitve to sunlight and your sensitivity increases. aNYHOW i will let you know more later.

I hate the pill so I decided to try the lower dose Nuvaring. But after only 2weeks of using it, I've not only felt nausea, sensitivity to smells, EXTREME hunger and began to gain weight from giving into my cravings...just like when I was pregnant. Worst of all I've had very bad mood swings. I'm extremely irritable and angry at the world. It's causing problems in my relationship because it's changed my whole personality. I'm getting off it ASAP!

Guest, #36378-

If what u want is to be "touched"-go to Hallmark.....

for someone whose concerned with being "touched", your behavior and manners speak of someone with little sensitivity and much to be desired

good luck on getting better.

I'm with the formers and i've found both inforamation and conversation helpful

Zomig works great for my migraines. I do however experience heat sensitivity, and unexplained weight loss. I went from a size 4 jeans to a size 0 in two months after starting Zomig( no complaints about that though)

Sensitivity of my eyes. They are sensitive to all light, especially the sun!

dizziness, nausea, sensitivity to sun, dreams

I took cephalexin for 1 week for an infected cut. A few days after finishing the prescription I started experiencing severe sensitivity to cold. Any contact with anything even slightly cold causes a severe overreaction (prickly, itching, discoloration of the skin and swelling in the hands and fingers) as if I was touching ice. I have not yet been diagnosed. has anyone else had a similar reaction?

I have been on Neurontin for over 10 years. I am taking Neurontin for PHN. When I was first given Neurontin, I could not take the med. as prescribed. I too would fall asleep. It took a whole year before my body adjusted to the med. I now take 2700 mg. daily. Along with Tramadol. I have the rare side effects but can not quit taking the med. for fear of having a more severe pain if I don't take the meds. I have recently noticed the weight gain. I continually think I have other things wrong with me, but when reading the side effects, I fit almost all the symtoms. Low back pain, bloated full feeling, body aches, buring eyes, change in vision, clumsiness, constipation, decrease in sexual desire, eye discharge, increased sensitivity to pain and touch, indigestion, nervousness, redness, trouble thinking, and loss of strength.

I have been taking Prednisoner about 2-3 times per year for my allergies and asthma for the past 3 years. Usually I gain a few pounds and have insomnia for a day or two. This time is out of control. I stopped taking it almost three weeks ago and I still have insomnia, neck stiffness, fatigue, a low grade fever, nausea and a sensitivity so strong to heat that I have a panic attack every time I get hot or go outside. My doctor has no idea what to do. He said it will go out of my system eventually. Suggested lots of water and a detox diet of brown rice, beans and veggies - no refined flour, sugar or caffeine. Anyone having anything similar? Xanax doesn't work for me. I've been taking Benadryl to sleep.

Interesting reading. I have not had the sore throat. I have not had weight gain, but neither have i been able to lose weight. I haven't had joint pain, but a defintie sensitivity to it.

I've been taking advair for a year. The thing i noticed was a sensitivity to existing allergies. So for instance, i've always been allergic to mold but the symptoms have been minor and they have reduced over time. Now i have a constant pulmanary response where i cough up yellow phlegm. I've decided to go back to the flovent inhaler and see if this solves my problems. i don't know if it will but the symptoms started when i started using the advair. I've also suffered from fatigue and my pituitary gland is being overworked. Right now, my theory is that my body is being stressed trying to handle the overreactions to allergens in my environment.
As for joint pain, for me it seems to be a digestive thing, but that doesn't mean the advair is not contributing to a digestive problem, that is then causing my joints to hurt.

I've been sick for many years. One thing i've learned is if your doctor isn't listening to you, then you need to find one who will. In our culture we place drs in a place of high authority and we are taught not to question that authority. It's your body, your health and your life. It is the drs responsibility to know the products they recommend and to listen to their patients. It's the patient's responsibility to question when things don't feel right and to help figure out the solutions. Some times they tell me what is wrong; some times i tell them what is wrong.

I have been taking Advair 500/50 and have found that aside from the weight gain, acne and phelgm in throat I also find that I have been getting dizzy and my gums are ultra sensitive. Is anyone else experiencing dizziness or sensitivity in the gums?
