Skin reaction symptoms and conditions

Hello ladies! I have had ny IUD in since Tuesday and have not enjoyed one bit of it. I should have known when the doctor couldn't put it in the first 2 times. As soon as the procedure started i instantly began to feel severe cramping, it was like having full blown contractions. I also was very dizzy and my vision was blurred. As soon as I sat up I had to lay back down for 15 minutes before I was able to drive home. Since Thursday morning I have felt like a walking zombie. I have had no energy, peeing like I am pregnant, I am also having severe swelling and severe allergic reaction. I woke up at 4am this morning because my hands were itching, so I started scratching and it got worse, and then my hands swelled up to the point that I could not bend my fingers. This rash then spread all over my body. I am not sure if the skin reaction is due to the IUD, but I can definitely tell you all that this has never happened from taking ou using any kind of medications. I also am allergic to bee stings,but I haven't had one of those.I have 4 daughters and never really used birth control before.I thought it might be a good time to start taking something, but I was wrong about this product. All I can say is DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!! I would rather not have sex with my husband than use this!

Took Yaz for one week and on the 7th day, started to develop a hot hive skin reaction. I've never been allergic to anything and was unsure what was happening. As I didn't think it was Yaz, I took an additional dose that Sunday evening. I woke up the next morning with hives covering 50% of my body (first day on the new job, no less). I went to the physician and got prednisone to help with the inflammation, but by the next day, the concentration of Yaz in my system kept rising and I ended up in the ER with two IV treatments of an antihistamine complex and an increased dose of steroids. It took me over a week on the prednisone to finally overcome the symptoms and not have flare-ups at night.

I've tried looking online and haven't found any other reports for Yaz allergies. Since I've been on the same pill for 9 years, I was curious as to what the cause may have been. Has anyone else heard of Drospirenone alleriges? It's the progestin that's in Yaz... the only BC that has this formulation.

Wow, I had no idea that Levaquin affected so many people. My daughter had knee surgery a couple of years ago. They gave her vancomycin before the surgery. She had an allergic reaction to the stuff. She also found out from one of the nurses that levaquin is related to vancomycin.

I had a total hip replacement 3 years ago and they gave me vancomycin just before the surgery. I was laid up in the hospital for a week. When I arrived home I noticed that my skin was really itchy (mostly my arms). Whenever I scratched it left whelps and turned extremely red. Now after 3 years my skin is still itchy, but not as frequent as it used to be. Has anyone had this problem with their skin?

I wanted everyone to be aware of the relation between vancomycin and levaquin.

Good luck to all.

I'm on my 3rd cycle with NuvaRing. I've been on anti-depressants for years, so I can't tell any difference there, and some of the other side effects you've mentioned were present in some degree before the ring and attributable to other factors. Three issues: 1) The vaginal secretions and odor have definitely been bad! 2) The tissue I touch when inserting and removing the ring feels rough and bumpy - some of it could be scar tissue from biopsy, LEEP, and cystectomy but has anyone else had an allergic skin reaction to it? Especially so far inside? I never paid much attention so I can't tell if I'm imagining the change. 3) My boyfriend and I recently got back together and have been intimate twice. Tuesday is the first time we put the ring to the test by him not pulling out. Since then, he says he has had chafing, irritation, and some sort of rash on his penis. Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

Did anybody suffer from a skin rash post labor??? This is my second labor, and after both labors were induced 2-4 months after the labor I found myself with an unexplained skin reaction which resembles Herpes Zoster and the urticaria. Dermatologists could not find the cause and I am currently on Prednisone to control symptoms. The only link could be the drugs given in hospital.

I took steroids for around 4 days, to counteract hives. The hives were evidently brought on by a skin reaction to artificial strawberry favoring plus stress (my mother-in-law died.)
I had erratic mood swings while taking the med. It did stop the itching and the hives. was taking benadryl also for the hives.

I never finished out the entire package of steroids, due to the mood swings.

I was put on doxycyline for acne rosacea immediately after my baby was born. I also started using Rosanil, retin-A and Finacea. I started having a skin reaction so I was told to stop the retin-A. It didn't get better so I was then told to stop the Rosanil and Finacea.
I am now only using Cetaphil to wash my face and it is still red, breaking out and itchy. My derm said the antibiotic wouldn't cause those symptoms.
PLEASE HELP! I stopped the doxycyline yesterday and was wondering how long util my face feels better. I've always had minor redness from rosacea but never anything like this. I've been taking benedryl for weeks now.
Please email me if you have any advice or can give me an idea of when this will get better.
