Soccer symptoms and conditions

I had the IUD inserted in September to help with heavy periods. It worked awesome for that. I love it in that respect. However, I gained about 15 pounds in two months. I play soccer 2 times a week and was training for a marathon so it didn't make sense. I had sever back pain and joint pain that I blamed running for. I all of a sudden had ZERO focus; tons to do and all I could do is sit and stare at the pile of to-do's. Zero sex drive to the point that I wanted to hit my husband if he even asked. One night I yelled at him so meanly it didn't even sound like me and scared the heck out of him (and me). Super depressed and angry all the time. I try not to talk to people and I don't really know why. For some weird reaso I kinda chalked it all up to turning 40 until I saw this site. I had it removed today and was told that the hormones would be out of my body in around 48 hours-hopefully they take the weight with them!! My husband had a vasectomy so I just did it to help with periods. I wish I would have seen this site before. My doctor wasn't surprised at all at my symptoms and gladly removed it. She said that some women just react badly to the hormones and some are fine. I was NOT FINE!!

I have been getting allergic reactions to ibuprofen..(so it seems) Every time i play tournaments in soccer i get knee pain so i take an ibuprofen to ease the pain...though when i take it , it causes me even more trouble it starts with a long stomach ache followed by chest pain next comes the couching and now runny nose and constant sneezing and when all of the symptoms die down my eyes run and go bloodshot and or runny

My son became soo aggressive 3 days after starting Singulair, that he was almost banned from soccer for life because of attacking another player on the field. It resembled what I had heard of 'roid rage'. When I questioned the doctor immediately, was told there was no connection. After months of the aggression, then came depression and self mutilation. My 15 yr old was secretly burning himself to 'punish' himself for things he done wrong or "disappointing" those around him. He now has permanent scars all over his arms from these burns. The depression took to drug abuse and my A student fell to an F student in 6 weeks. He completely lost his will to live and thrive. After 4 months of hell, the dr informed us that the FDA just warned physicians of this side effect. Im furious now that I read through the court documents and find that the drug company knew this all along. I know I am a luckier parent than some whose children committed suicide, but still wish that the FDA would get off their BUTTS and do something to take this drug off the market. I was told by a rep at the FDA that Merck will not take it off the shelf until they're made to because even if they had to pay parents millions for their child's suicide, they would still be pocketing more profit than our children's lives are worth in the court system. Not sure WHY we even HAVE an FDA, they won't do anything to protect us from these money hungry drug companies. A YEAR to do an 'INVESTIGATION" are you kidding me? If the CEO of Merck had to bury his child, it would come off the shelf THAT DAY.

I've been taking Levaquin for about 3 weeks. Last week, suddenly, every joint in my body started aching. I mean from my neck, hands, hips, knees, ankles, feet, everything. For the past week, when I wake up, I can't even make a fist without experiencing excruciating pain. I've always been very active, running, basketball, soccer, skiing, you name it, so this is scaring the heck out of me. I'm 47 years old, and up until a week ago, I was hiking with my family, running everyday with my dog. Now I feel like I'm 100 years old. It hurts to walk, stand up, etc! I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow! I'm ticked about this!

Both of our children have been taking Singulair since the ages of 2 & 3 due to severe indoor/outdoor allergies. One is now 8 & the other is 5. They have never experienced any side effects. On the contrary, this medicine has helped them. They are now able to play outdoors without breathing problems and are able to sleep through the night without coughing. Our son is enjoying playing baseball & soccer and our daughter enjoys dancing. They are both very athletic, outgoing and bright in school. They have their 'normal' fits that are part of being children. People actually have commented on how well behaved they are for their ages. We feel blessed that our children have thrived on this medication and hope that others have also benefited from it. I pray that the families with children having the side effects are able to find something that can help them and we hope that if there are other contributing factors for the children's behavior that they be addressed and remedied.

I'm 15 and I've been taking yaz for about a month.
the side affects just aren't worth it, i didn't know my depression and tiredness was from the pill because my doctor told me there are NO SIDE EFFECTS.
well everyday i come home and i cant get out of bed, my boyfriend thinks I'm going crazy cause ill start getting mad for no reason and that usually doesn't happen. i play soccer and have been noticing extreme muscle aches and shortness of breath, which doesn't help at all. helppp! any other pills that are worth taking? thanks

My 9 year old daughter has been on Singulair for almost 6 months. Her asthma symptoms have completely gone away. She no longer has her night time cough, post nasal drip, and frequent colds due to allergies. However, she has gained almost 10 pounds, has been tired and has complained of sore muscles. She has had night mares and leg cramps at night. She has also had frequent mood swings. I thought this was just due to her age. She used to be a sweet, kind, patient girl most of the time, and she has been quick to have temper tantrums, cry and/or yell at us over the silliest things. She is a very active girl- dance, soccer, swimming, etc. and she eats healthy foods for the most part. I could not understand why her face was looking so bloated and her pants were all getting too tight all in such a short amount of time. We are taking her off of this medication immediately!

I read this information and am concerned for everyone who thinks they have a side effect caused by Advair.

My son was a severe asthmatic. He was hospitalized for asthma in the intensive care unit twice by the time he was 2. He almost died the first time. When he was 11, (4 years ago) he was put on Advair and has not had a major asthma attack since then.

He is a total success story. Unlike many kids with severe asthma his lung function is normal. (I hear that untreated asthma causes permanent loss of lung function - we have avoided that with him.) He runs track, plays soccer and is very, very active. My doctor says that most kids with similar medical histories can only sit in front of the TV and play video games.

I fought against putting him on it, but the doctor convinced me to try it. I didn't want to overmedicate him, and it hadn't yet been approved for kids under 12. But now I am so glad I did- my son has a normal life, and doesn't have to restrict his activities.
