Settling symptoms and conditions

I had my mirena coil fitted 7 months ago by choice after an early stage miscarriage in April-my second in 15 months.My husband and I decided that we would not go for another baby(we have 3 great kids aged 4-14)and the mirena was the obvious choice.I had previously had the mirena 9 years before with absolute success and only had it removed as it was 5 years old. I experienced all the usual early settling niggles(bleeding,bloating,tiredness etc)but for the last 6 weeks every time i visit the loo there are strandy brown blood clots (old blood)My first thoughts were that the mirena has moved but length of strings suggests not.I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this as i know i did not have this problem with my last mirena?

I had a Mirena coil fitted about 3 years ago. It was brilliant. I had it fitted because I suffered terribly with painful periods. Not heavy though. I had it for about a year, then had it removed to try for a baby with my partner. I already have a 19 year old son. I didn't get pregnant, now, I believe a good thing, and I had a second Mirena fitted. Let's put it this way, it's not acting like the first one did. I get headaches, hot flushes, bloating, depression, crying, muscle ache, especially arms and hands. I have dizzy spells, and can't stand around for a while as I feel faint. I am overweight, and always intend to do some exercise, and control eating habits a bit, but when your mind isn't right, how can you? It's a vicious circle. Obviously I appreciate that some of how I feel is my weight issue, but as I said, it's hard to do anything about it when you can't get the incentive because your mind is working overtime! The bleeding though, is basically the same as the first coil. It stopped near enough straight away, but at this moment I am having what isn't really a period, but is stranger and little heavier than spotting! I also get sharp pains now and again at the moment, and am very bloated. Doctor said about a month ago, that the coil could still be settling! We will see! Any replies would be great, I hope I haven't rambled on!!! Ha.. Pauline, Gloucestershire

Last night I bought 2 new shirts, was completely disgusted with my stomach and mid section. I had went to the doctor about 2 weeks ago for a cold, and when I was weighed, I had gained about 10 lbs in a month. I am completely disgusted with my stomach. I had a pooch down there since having my baby, but she is 19 mos now and since I had it inserted in April, I feel like a growing marshmellow. Sometimes I cant stand to even have my husband see me change clothes. Im about 195 lbs now...almost my PREGNANCY weight and I hate to get it taken out now since I just had it put in - in April. Also I have NO SEX DRIVE. My husband complains about it constantly and Im so tired all the time, I'm always saying how I could fall asleep. I keep attributing it to having a 19 mo old and working full time, but she sleeps through the nights now and I'm always tired. I've also had several dizzy spells that I can not explain. I'm going to keep reading these comments and it seems like I may have found what my problem is! Thanks for the help. I should have done my research before I went through the pain of having it put in. That would have been smart right?

I SEEN MY DOCTOR TODAY AND I ASK HER WHY I AM HAVING TROUBLE LOSING MY LITTLE TIRE RING UNDER MY CHEST WHERE THE STOMACH IS AND SHE SAID THAT MY COCKTAIL THAT I TAKE- KALETRA,COMBIVIR, AND VIREAD ESPECIALLY KALETRA IS SETTLING THERE AND I AM 49 YRS OLD? SHE SAID AGE IN COMBINATION WITH TAKING KALETRA IS MAKING IT HARD TO LOOSE THE WEIGHT. NEED TO KNOW MORE FACTS ON MY MEDS. AND IF SHE IS RIGHT. THANK YOU

I took Lipitor for 3-4 years, and it didn't seem to control my numbers. Sometimes up sometimes down. I am at 360 now.
I am a weight lifter , walk 10 miles a day and have had high numbers since 28, now 48.
After years with Lipitor I lost libido function. I was literally numb, no urge, a slight desire but no reation. 2 years off, and I am alot better though not as good as before.
Two Phara sales (relatives)people told me Pfizer has been settling out of court on this libido issue. Which gave me strength challenge the doctors choices.
Now they're trying to give me Tricor.

I had a shot in May 2003 and have serious discoloration and pitting as a result (upper arm). The hospital who administered it is freaking out and referring me to their insurance company...I am now pregnant and am VERY concerned about the potential long-term impact of this medication and my reaction to it. Also worried about settling with the insurance company if this turns out to be a long-term problem. Suggestions??
