Simptoms symptoms and conditions

Hello again:
I was wandering if anybody has had a low Vitamin D deficiency with the use of Doxycycline? I found out yesterday I do have a deficiency it went down to 11 it should be I think between 30-100. I start 50,000iu tomorrow to get it back up! I read that Vitamin D deficiency can cause a lot of these symptoms
that are on this site. Hope Vitamin D works for me!
Also I am still looking for help! after two months of being off Doxycycline!
what has everyone done to get better?
Question? has anyone had permanent side effects?

I got the Mirena put in at the end of 2007. It hurt for a couple of days and then I bled for non stop (no joke) for 7 months straight. A panty liner was all it took, but still, I had had enough of the bleeding. All the while I could always feel it. If I moved funny or if my kids jumped on my stomach I could feel it. Even when I laid on my back I could feel it. Finally I decided I wanted it taken out so in Aug. 2008 I had it removed. No big deal. I thought things would go right back to being normal. Well, ever since August my periods are now very irregular. I will be a couple weeks late or a week early, every month it is different. Honestly, I didn't really consider the Mirena until I started checking online for why I am all the sudden irregular. Then I came across this site of side effects, and my symptoms are very similar to the ones that I have read. I have acne now like I did when I was going through puberty and I thought it was my cleanser, but now I think it has to do with the Mirena. I am also certain that I am irregular because of it. I am trying to get pregnant again and usually I am pregnant within three or four months after stopping birth control, but so far nothing has happened and it has been six months, so I am beginning to wonder if the Mirena has something to do with it.

I've been on Yasmin/Ocella for 2 years, and the other week I had two panic attacks, like my body suddenly felt achey, trembly, as if I couldn't breathe, my throat and chest were constricting. After a long time, both passed, but since then I constantly have felt a tightness under my jaw, lump in my throat, and chest tightness on and off. My doctor told me I was just experiencing anxiety but now I think it may be Yasmin, even though I never had problems until now. Sometimes the skin on my throat feels itchy/tingly in a subtle way. If anyone has had these experiences with the throat & chest on Yasmin, I'd like to know because I'm hoping the problem is this.

4 yr. old son on Albuterol and Pulmicort for asthma triggered by allergies and colds. He is off of both during the summer, once he goes on the medication for the allergy season he experiences mood swings, violent tantrums, is confrontational, basically his personality changes. We have tried reducing the dose and cutting out one medication or the other with the same effect, the symptoms persist. We feel we have no choice because of the severe asthma attacks.

Hi, my name’s M. and I posted my story on here about a month ago. Unfortunately, I’ve made no progress. I was hospitalized again mid-October for numbness and tingling sensations in my legs, which is a symptom of guillian-barre syndrome and supposedly needs to be treated very carefully. I had an mri of my brain again, this time including my spine to check for possible tumors. I was sent home the next day, negative for guillian-barre, but having received no answers. I was crawling up the stairs by this time, and was too weak to walk without holding on to furniture to support myself. My legs felt like cement blocks, and the neurologist specifically said, “I don’t know why you can’t walk.”
Since then, I’ve developed acute mononucleosis, which increases my fatigue and muscle pain, and causes me to sleep about 15 hours a day. Recent blood work also showed I was positive for an autoimmune disorder called Myositis, which is a painful disorder that causes the body’s immune system to attack its muscles and connective tissue. I was referred to a rheumatologist, who was the least sympathetic person I’ve met in my life, and told me my physical exam was perfect, so she felt the Myositis must have been a false positive. She re-ran the blood work, and the Myositis was negative. This is of course a relief, but how we’ll ever know which test is correct, I don’t know. The rheumatologist did notice the weakness in my legs and my difficulty walking, and suggested physical therapy to help gain my strength back. She also prescribed an anti-inflammatory medication that took away almost all of my pain. Thank God, something finally worked for me. We then saw the physical therapist who said, “We can probably make you stronger, but I’ve never seen anything like this before.”
I’m seeing an osteopathic specialist who is convinced my illness is directly related to Gardasil. Through ancient medicine methods, she introduced a vile of Gardasil to my system and noticed an immediate weakness. I’m not sure if I totally believe in her practice, but the fact that she noticed a rejection to Gardasil the minute she introduced it is enough to convince me. She believes that my immune system was basically poisoned by the vaccine, which is causing it to fight off things I need. She also said it probably doesn’t recognize the mono as an infection, and decides not to fight it. For a normal, healthy person, mono can last up to 3 months. For someone like me, no one knows how long it could last. It was my immune system’s weakness that allowed me to develop mono, and it was the Gardasil that weakened it in the first place. So thank you Merck, for yet another thing I have to deal with.
And that brings us to today. I’ve missed about 30 days of my freshman year, so I’m assuming summer school will be necessary. My high school won’t provide a tutor, so I can only take my core curriculum classes, and am having difficulty keeping up with just those few. I’ve gained some strength in my legs, and it’s a little easier to walk with the anti-inflammatory, but I still can’t walk very far without resting. I’m also taking an anti-depressant to help me focus-hopefully it’ll lift my spirits. Since I received the vaccine, my periods have been painful and irregular. The constant nausea, headaches, and occasional stomach pain/joint pain continues, along with extreme fatigue.
The doctors make me feel like a crazy person who faked this to get out of school. How could I possibly fake nausea for thirteen weeks straight, and pain that kept me up crying almost every night? How could I fake my difficulty walking while it’s causing me to miss both of my volleyball seasons? Before this, I had hardly missed a day of school in my life, and refused to stay home whenever I got the flu because I hate falling behind. I’ve played volleyball tournaments with sprained ankles and chipped elbows, I can handle pain, and I’m not a baby. If the doctors would take five minutes out of their time to try to get to know me, maybe they would see that. And the few who actually take the time to be pleasant don’t listen. They tell you they know, that they understand, but they don’t. They won’t drag themselves out of bed in the morning feeling nauseous and half asleep; they’ll be able to walk into their office without feeling like they want to collapse, and they’ll go home to the people who care about them and will actually be awake long enough to enjoy their company. No one will tell them they’re insane, and the worst part is that most of them won’t take the time to realize how blessed they are just to have the ability to do those things. How can the doctors not have sympathy when they’re the ones who put this poison inside of me?!
I know I’m very lucky compared to girls who have experienced more serious side effects, and am thankful that we were able to make a connection between my illness and Gardasil after the first shot. But I’m living proof of what just one stupid shot can do to you-how can you put yourselves or your daughters at risk of what I’ve gone through? The benefits are not just worth the risk..
My 15th birthday is coming up in just a few weeks, and all I want is to be normal again.

I had my mirena taken out on oct. 15 (placed on aug. 8) and my doc, like many of the other posts, behaved as though i were simply a hysterical female and said that NO ONE complains about it. I told him that i'd had lower back pain, loss of sex drive, fatigue, swollen breasts, nausea, stomach poking out, terrible smell, weight gain, mood swings, headache, achy feet, numbness on my face and dizziness. here's what's so sad, we are all so brainwashed by the current state of medical care in our country that we don't even think it's strange to be ignored for a flurry of symptoms. i mean, if he was so convinced that it WASN'T the mirena causing the problems, then why didn't he address the problems?! what's worse, it took me several days to even realize that my symptoms had been completely ignored! anyway, i'm still having the back pain and my cervix was sore when having sex the other day. i'm having weird abdominal cramps and am still very tired and moody and eating us out of house and home. i am hoping this will stop by thanksgiving.

very bad experience with Mirena that after having it for 1 year (inserted at age of 43, taken out at 44) it looks like caused me an early menopause at age of 45. not one medic looking at the causes of my nausea, pains has thought that mirena might be the cause. Only after having it removed all these symptoms have calmed down but otherwise always punctual periods (before the insertion of Mirena) have not returned ....would not recommended it anyone!! also the Gynea told me that has some other cases with problematic Mirena...

im on warfarin 3.5 mg everyday since nov 2007 because a pulmonary embolism and a second one on jan 2008 while on therapeutic INR. in march 2008 i had a massive bleeding in my ovary and had an emergency operation to remove the blood from my belly. I have serious anemia, 2 years now, and i am feeling that my life is being wasted away!!! I have serious pain on my neck and back and my left arm is really sore i cam barely move it. I have no energy at all and i am surprised of how i have been trying to get extra energy from where there is nothing left!!!.
I am not sure that those symptoms are relted to warfarin, all I know is that I didn't feel this way before!! And I don't really know how bad it is to have anemia and at the same time be on warfarin.

I also want to be me again!!!

I just got mine inserted Thursday and am having cramps on my right side with a light brown discharge, anxiety, depression, tiredness, mood swings, dizziness with a lack of concentration and all this has taken place since Thursday. The first night I had an anxiety attack and I could feel the Mirena inside me when I would move around. 600mg of ibuprofen and other pain medicine would not even stop the cramping. I could feel it in my sleep and am having problems sleeping because of it. To believe all this was within 24 hours of insertion. Based on my symptoms and other peoples side effects and problems, I am making an emergency appt for tomorrow to have it removed. This product is very expensive and sounds really good on paper, but my current and longterm health is priceless. I just wish I had found this website before mine was inserted. Please don't take anymore chances with your health if you are having problems with Mirena.

Can anyone else tell me if Deplin makes them sleep -- All I want to do since starting treatment in sleep -- ALL DAY LONG! It's supposed to give you more energy, isn't it?

Hello everyone,

Just like all of you, I too googled this strange indentation in my left buttocks and found this site. I suspected when it first showed up that it may have something to do with a shot from my Dr. because the indentation was strangely in the same spot as my last shot. I have received several Kenalog shots over the past couple years for chest congestion and sinus related symptoms that typically drive me to calling my family practice doctor. Although he regularly administers Kenalog, I have had know reason to doubt his treatment as my history with him has been relatively good. However, he is not the one administering the shots, his young nurse it the one (less than a year out of school). Anyway, I too, like many of you am going to look into a class action lawsuit and/or my own legal counsel. If there is anyone out there who has gotten any positive feedback from a lawyer willing to take this on, please contact me for testimonial. This is not flattering and moreover, after reading the many previous entries, I am downright scared. Also, please advise is there is any known treatment to help reduce further reduction of tissue in this area. Thank you very much for reading and for the continued entries after this one.

I am very happy I found this website. I used Advair since August 2007. About a month in I was a bit moody and would loose my temper, but at Thanksgiving I went to Bali for a holiday and fell into an awful depression. I had no idea what was wrong but cried and was very irritable. Also thought everyone didn't like me and they were all mad at me. Paranoia I guess. I saw my GP when I came home and she gave me Lexapro, then Wellbutrin. I couldnt sleep, eat, sobbed all the time and never wanted to leave the house. I looked up Advair and saw a lot of others who had went into a depression on it. I have been off a week and I can only say that it has gotten so much better. I came off all the meds and I am eating normally, sleeping a lot better and the sobbing has stopped. I really think that the Advair was the factor. Hope this helps anyone who feels/felt like that.

I have been taking Lisinopril, 10mg, for almost two months and even though my latest blood work does not appear to show any kidney or liver problems, I have developed a lower back pain that only hurts when I move from a sitting position to a standing position. Once I am standing the pain goes away. Is there anyone out there who has similar condition?

The only other medications I take is allopurinal for the gout and aspirin, 325mg, every morning. I am 69 years old and feel very good otherwise.

Since i've been taking seroquel, i have been gaining wait and experiencing chest pain and rapid heart beat when resting
