Sounding symptoms and conditions

well today i got the mirena put in and i didn't feel anything and so far everything is great i go back in a month to make sure its where its suppose to be but as for it being painful it is so not painful its just like getting a pap done you don't feel them put the mirena in at all

I had been on different versions of the pill since the age of 15 due to debilitating and horrific periods. After having migraines, a TIA (mini-stroke), and discovering that I have a small hole in my heart (PFO), my doc told me that I really should not promote estrogen in my body via the pill. So.... after nearly 20 years on the pill, I had to find an alternative. My ob/gyn suggested the Mirena. She told me she has one and that she doesn't have any side effects, I'd love it, it lasts for 5 years, no periods really, etc. I went for it! Not only was the insertion one of the most painful things I've experienced while being 100% awake and alert ---- Motrin and a light numbing cocktail --- and I've never had a baby!????! But the pain afterwards and for the following weeks was amazing. I have had several surgeries, stitches, broken bones, etc. in my life. I'm not a woosie girl. However, that pain was something I had not prepared myself for whatsoever. The first month was really rough. The second month was better. After 3 months of toughing it out, I started to be happier about having made the choice to go with the Mirena. Months 4-6 were pretty good actually. Virtually no period, pretty much no cramping other than once a month, and no glaringly obvious side effects. However... as time kept on, and my life continued to change, I can now look back at Months 7-13 to see how things truly did change albeit at a slow enough pace not to cause any red flags and make me consider pointing my finger towards the Mirena. Work was stressful, but I've always dealt with it... but it was SO much harder to shrug it off, suck it up, and just deal with it! I never sleep enough, but for some reason now, no matter how much I sleep, I'm ALWAYS still tired!! Being single was not as much fun anymore... because I apparently am depressed, even though I've never been depressed a single moment in my life! I freak out about deadlines, but have never had a problem hitting them so why? I clearly have anxiety issues which weren't there before... Lastly, I am BUSY BUSY BUSY, working out regularly, eating quite healthy for me, and consistently gaining weight instead of losing weight..... what the he**? I went to my family doc because I didn't feel "right" and was sick over the weight gain!! He ran blood work, which came back "perfect". He prescribed a med for anxiety and a med for mild depression to get me through "these stressful times". I went to my ob/gyn and she prescribed a diet pill. My sis found this site... I have read 7/14 thru 7/21 so far. I'll read more before making my decision... I will also read more on other sites and talk to my ob/gyn. However, I must admit that the mid-section weight gain, moodiness, anxiety, depression, etc. are all sounding oh so sadly familiar. I also must admit though, I am bummed out if this is the case because as I mentioned, I had high hopes for the Mirena and had enjoyed about 4-5 months of "good" time with it. It's the months after that and right NOW which is seriously in question. I do think it is right for many people, just maybe not for me. Good luck to you all... Oh, P.S. for those of you who have had it taken out, if any of you don't mind saying, had you had a child/children before? I'm really nervous about repeating the horrific pain of the insertion given I had not had a child. Thanks!!

I'm a 38 year old female who was prescribed Advair after a severe bout of bronchitis one year ago. While at first I thought that it was helping my lungs my family members noticed that I was getting more headaches, mood swings and I went from a soprano singer to sounding like Harry Belafonte. I have stopped and now I have cramping pains in my chest and upper back. I call it my traveling pain as it is not always in the same spot. I would much rather have tried a homeopathic remedy than subject myself to Advair every again. I have learned through a nutritionist and chiropractor how to manage the pain in my lungs that this crap has left behind. Please research this carefully before you start sucking in that dust!!

I am a 46 year old female and have had asthma all my life,medication,shots,inhalers.The past year it got very bad and I was going through inhalers almost weekly. My doctor put me on advair in may of this year.I was so happy it really helped my asthma,no inhalers.Then the side effects started-I felt sick like I had broncitis,sore throat ,sounding hoarse,headaches,very annoyed,anxious,moody,felt like throwing-up,not sleeping,urinary tract infection,backache,confusion,weight gain.I thought I was very ill and was almost afraid to go to the doctor,then I thought about being put on advair and when the symptoms started.I looked up side-effects and BINGO! I am going to tell my doctor to get me off this,kinda afraid I'll get really bad asthma again,but what do you do?Feel like total gargage every day?or not be able to breath?What a choice.This all took place in a matter of 5 months.Everyone is different,every body can or cannot tolerate certain drugs.People do know their own bodies and why doctors don't listen or believe them I don't know.But,I sick and tired of being sick and tired and my whole summer was wasted thanks to advair.Hope I have another option.Lisa K.

I took the horrible drug for five weeks. I have been to the doctor 3 times. They gave me anti-biotics and said I had brochitis. I have a terrible sounding cough and mucus, I missed over two weeks of work and sent alot of money on medicine. I stopped taking Lisinopril 10 days ago, I feel better but not 100%. My doctor says that if will take a while for the cough to go away. I so mad because I really believed I was dying and took chest x-rays and a TB test. My boyfriend has been giving my dirty looks, and guess he think he going to catch somethimg This medicine has ruined my summer and my vacation, because I'm afraid that I will gave a coughing attack so I stay close to home or if I do go out I keep cough drops and cough syrup in my purse. I feel like a drug addict.

Hello guest 22423 Sorry for sounding so angry about the dr. It's because that's what happened to me. Back to the breast pain. Mine started there and lasted about 2 weeks and then I had pain in my knees for another 2-3 weeks and then my shoulders. My skin hurt to touch and the pain was a burning pain. Hope you're okay. Post again and let us know.

I was put on Advair a year ago this May. I am a vocalist and voice teacher. My voice is sounding very thin in my mid range and I am completely worried that this is from residue of the Advair. Has anyone else that is a singer had problems with this drug?
Thanks, Ro

I have been on hydrocodone for several months for chronic pancreatitis.It works ok along with a fentanyl patch.Am I addicted?Probably.However,I am 5 months pregnant now and the drs all agree the baby will go thru some withdrawls after delivery.I am now trying Ultracet and my main complaint is the AWFUL nightmares.I have never heard of this side effect.You cant explain nightmares to a dr without sounding like an idiot,but my husband says I also twitch and scream during the night,when I finally do get to sleep.Slight itching,but lots of "creepie crawlies"when I try to relax.Ive decided to 86 the patch and deal with the ultracet,using my hydro for the more severe bouts of pain.
