I am 46 and was perscribed Omnicef for a sinus infection. I had surgery the next day and did not realize I was having side effects from Omnicef. I have horrible pain in my stomach, entire body has rash and my skin hurts/burns, especially on the back of my calves and my bottom. My face swelled and my neck swelled. My eyes are very swollen. It has been 3 weeks and the side effects have not gone away. I did not know there were such horrible side effects. My doctor has done blood work and urine tests. I do not have the results yet. I will never take this medicine again.

I am so glad I found this site. I have only been on Zocor for three weeks and have pain in every muscle from head to toe. It burns at times and at other times even my skin hurts. My vision has gotten hazy. I can't even open a bottle of water without help. I am only 42. I was put on 40mg every evening - because of being diabetic and the dr wanted my level to be at 100 or lower. I am in a lot of pain. The dr told me to stop taking the Zocar and sent me to the urgent care for lab work. Now we just have to wait for results. After what I have read here tonite, I am going to avoid statins and work on the diet and excersize aspect. It worked with using cinnamon for my diabetes.

MY 3 YEAR OLD SON WAS GIVEN OMNICEF FOR AN EAR INFECTION, HE WOKE UP THE MORNING AFTER HIS 8TH DAY OF THE 10 DAY ANITBIOTIC WITH A LITTLE BUMP ON BIG TOE. WITHIN AN HOUR I NOTICED ANOTHER BUMP ON HIS ELBOW. THEY RESEMBLED MOSQUITO BITES. WITHIN THREE HOURS HIS HANDS AND KNEES WERE VERY SWOLLEN AND HE ALSO HAD SEVERAL MORE BUMPS ON HIS FACE AND ARMS. I TOOK HIM STRIAGHT INTO THE DR BECASUE WE WERE ALREADY IN TOWN. THEY SAID IT WAS A REACTION TO THE OMNICEF. WITHIN ABOUT 30 MINUTES AT THE PEDIATRICIANS OFFICE AND HIM HAVING HIS SHOES OFF, HIS FEET SWELLED ENOUGH THAT I COULDN'T PUT HIS SHOES BACK ON. THIS ALL STARTED ON MONDAY MORNING. BY TUESDAY EVENING HE WAS COMPLETELY COVERED IN HUGE WELPS AND THERE WERE CIRCLE SHAPED WELPS OVER THE ALREADY VERY RED SWOLLEN WELPS. I TOOK HIM BACK IN BECASUE HIS SKIN APPEARS TO BE BRUISING AND HIS EYES ARE SO DARK. HE IS ITCHING AND HIS SKIN HURTS HE SAYS. BENADRYL IS HELPING BUT FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS AT A TIME. THE PEDIATRICIAN SAYS IT IS REALLY BAD HIVES AND COULD LAST FOR UP TO 6 WEEKS. MY LITTLE GUY IS IN WAY MORE PAIN THAN BEFORE THE OMNICEF EVEN WITH HIS EAR INFECTION. HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DIAREAH OR STOMACH PAIN THE FIRST 8 DAYS, THIS JUST CAME ON SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY. NEVER AGAIN WILL ANY MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY USE OMNICEF.

I have been on Yasmin now for nearly 1month. I haven't started the white pills yet, still on the yellow. At first I was completely impressed as I had been having problems with OrthoTriCyclen (after taking it for three years). I still have breakouts on my chin, (majorly annoying) and lately within this week I have had two major anxiety-like attacks. My heart will start racing as if I have been running, I feel like I want to climb out of my skin, my body shakes and trembles as if I am cold, (but I am not) and my skin hurts to the touch. After my most recent attack, I have decided to see my internal medicine doctor to run some tests. Goodness..I had no idea hormones could cause such horror.

I had Mirena inserted about a year and half ago. For the first year I didn't have any problems with it and thought it was wonderful. But a few months ago i started to get severe pains in my legs that would last about a week and then go away. this happened about once a month and the pain just kept getting worse. i've also experienced lower abdominal pains especially after having sex. severe acne on my back, chest, and face has been another issue even though i have never had a problem with acne before. my greatest concern is the pain in my legs. it hurts so bad sometimes that it is hard to walk or even put pants on because my skin hurts to the touch. this last episode i had, the pain radiated from my groin area all the way down to the bottom of my feet so it hurt everytime i took a step. its hard to describe the pain. it almost feels like cramping but not quite. there is some numbness and sharp pains that shoot throughout my legs and throbbing pains too. has anyone ever had this problem and then had it go away only for it to return a month later?
