Stomach cramps symptoms and conditions

ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT I WAS LACTOSE INTOLERANT, I STARTED USING THE LACTAID CHEWABLES BEFORE ANY DAIRY, AFTER ABOUT A WEEK I STARTED GETTING STOMACH CRAMPS PRETTY BAD AND HAD THE WORST VOMITING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED, AFTER THE PAIN LASTED FOR A COUPLE DAYS I WENT BACK TO THE DOC THINKING I HAD AN ULCER, I HAD AN UPPER GI AND I DID HAVE A SMALL HIATEL HERNIA HE PUT ME ON MEDS AND AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS I AM FINALLY FEELING BETTER. THIS AM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS I JUST TOOK 2 LACTAID CHEWABLES AND NOW I AM EXPERIENCING UPPER ABDOMINAL PAIN AGAIN! MAYBE IT WASN'T THE HERNIA @ ALL??? I WAS VERY INTERESTED TO READ ALL OF THE COMMENTS, THANK YOU- I THINK I WILL STAY AWAY FROM THE LACTAID TABLETS NOW.

I have had two mirenas, the first was fantastic. I never had any side effects and it was the best thing since chocolate!!! However the second one appears to have only lasted two years. This last month I have had stomach cramps and mood swings but no bleeding, the GP suggested I have it removed which was done today to see if this was what was causing my problems. I need to go back in one month. Will keep you posted!!

ok so reading all this just CAUSED me to have a panic attack. i've been having bad depression and mood swings and anxiety and today i was having really really bad stomach cramps and bloating and i can't concentrate and now i'm freaking out. i'm a pretty bad hypochondriac anyway, and now i'm afraid i'm going to have a stroke or something.

i'm sorry if this is really rambly i just wanted to go ahead and post something while i was freaking out to give an example of the anxiety issues caused by this....
:(

i've only been on it for a month and a half now and only have a week left of this pack but after that week i'm quitting. just to make sure my period timing is normal...

oh by the way about me: i'm 17, i've been with the same guy for almost a year, nothing has changed drastically in my life , i'm not as big of a moron as i seem like from this post, i have normal bodily functions , i exercise regularly, i'm pretty healthy, and i normally don't have nearly this bad of emotional issues and don't cry as easily as i have been.

I have been taking Omeprazole 20 mg timer release tabs for 7 days now,
I am always tired, sever stomach cramps, sever gas, and diarrhea, and sometimes dizzy. I have decided to stop taking it at this point I have enough trouble eating I don't need more or what I do going right threw me. Thank you all for letting me know your symptoms are so I knew it was not just me. I wish you all the best of luck.

I have had Mirena for about three months and I want it out now. I have had stomach cramps everyday, headache everyday, bleeding for no reason (all the time). My hair is coming out in clumps after my showers, and I have started to have blurry vision. Sometimes I feel like I cant even focus on something. My back hurts all the time and I feel sick every day. I have an appointment to "talk" to the doctor about it, and when I go there I will tell him to remove it then and there. If he doesn't, I will make it known that I am not leaving until he does, or I will take it out myself right then and there!! That's how sure I am that all this is from this poisonous thing. I also have had a short fuse and feel so fancy all the time. I would not recommend this to anyone. Plus, isnt it illegal for them NOT to list all of the side effects in the brochure about Mirena, because Canada does; the US does not!! Good luck to all of you.

Hi everyone, I am 27 years old and tring to find a pill that works for me. I have fibroids and are prone to cysts... so if you read this, and I will try to keep it short and sweet, please any advise will be a great help.

I was on Yaz from January until June and had to switch because it actually gave me PMDD. I literally lost my mind. My doctor and I decided to try Loestrin. I have been on Loestrin for 3 months and two weeks ago I started having the worst cramps of my life. That friday I slept for 17 hours and woke up feeling terribly ill. Every and all symptoms you could think of, I have experienced it for two weeks now. The heavy bleeding (and Im a week early), the constant leg, back and stomach cramps, and fatigue are impacting my life. Im taking off work and won't leave the house.

Please, if there is any advice out there, Im listening because my doctor is not. Thank you.

I have been on birth control pills for 9 years now, I have tried them all and have never had any serious side effects from the pill in all my years on it. I switched to Femcon FE, and 45 minutes after taking my first pill I was getting sick and had horrible back and stomach cramps. The next morning I was sicker then ever and my breast were sore. I refused to take another Femcon FE, and I am now for the first time in 9 years going to take the month off from the pill, and start new after my period on a pill that will not make me sick. Women beware of this pill, it WILL make you sick.

I am a 23 year old female. Taking Clindamycin for tooth infection before having root canal. Am allergic to penicillin. I experienced stomach cramps, clay colored watery diarrhea, esophagitis, nausea and headache. Mild diarrhea also noted in 2 year old nursing toddler.

I was prescribed a generic for keflex (cephalexin), 500mg three times a day for 10 days for cellulitis(skin infection through an insect bite). My gastrointestinal tract went totally haywire as soon as I started taking the medication, bad stomach upset. The infection subsided in a couple of days but started having stomach cramps and the diarrhea continues for almost a month till I started taking probiotics to replenish all the flora in the gi tract.
It has been almost a month after I stopped taking this medication and now experience phantosmia( phantom smell ), in my case smelling smoke/exhaust fumes at random times throughout the day. I mentioned this symptom to the doc and according to here, it is one of the side effects asked me to hang in there for 5 more months before I can consult an ENT specialist.

I am currently taking levaquin for a sinus and double inner ear infection, i have also taken this antibiotic before,i am 35 years old. I think this drug works wonderfully and tell the doctor this drug works the best for me.i have noticed a harder time falling asleep if i take it too late in the evening and some mild stomach cramping if i do not eat at least 2 hours prior to taking it.i also take it with a full glass of water.some of the side affects listed in this blog that people are describing are normal if you read your insert that comes with the medication.And if you follow the directions and eat and drink with a full glass of water the side effects are not as severe.Unless you are allergic to the drug,i do not find it bothersome knowing i will not be taking it forever and it is just temporary that i will be having a hard time falling asleep.i do eventually fall asleep.My suggestion while taking this medication if you are in reasonably good health,is to read the directions about eating and drinking plenty of water and don't panic,that just makes things worse.

I have been on loestrin for 2 months now. For the past month I have been an emotional wreck, and for the passed week I have had anxiety, heartburn and stomach cramps just below my ribcage. My lower back is killing me and my stomach is spasming. I just took my last birth control pill this morning and start the reminder pills tomorrow. I totally don't feel myself. I haven't got my period since i've been on it. My doctor put me on it because I was bleeding abnormally heavy for me two weeks after my period. I really want to not start a new pack, but i'm nervous that i will bleed heavily again. the anxiety is causing me no to sleep.................I hate this pill

MY STORY

My Mirena was removed on 29th May 2008.

I had the Mirena put in four years ago,I had terrible pain the day after, it was that bad I was going to go to the hospital Emergency to get the thing out but I put up(the worst thing I done in my life, Im paying for it now) with it and it and the pain got a bit better,had a lot of bleeding (spotting) for the first six months and then it finally went away. For the first year I thought Mirena was Great but then the problems started.I started to gain a lot of weight,facial hair,Very sore breasts, I also had a lump removed from my left breast a couple of years ago, but I didn't know until recently that it was most likely caused by Mirena. Some of the other problems I had, My stomach bloated, I look like I'm six months pregnant ,I have a cyst on my left ovary,dry skin,acne,strange depression,headaches,and the Worst of all I had to have my Thyroids REMOVED on 1st Nov 2006 and I'm pretty sure that was caused by Mirena as well, so now I have to take thyroid Medication for the rest of my life,I had the Mirena removed as soon as I done some searching on the internet for my unexplained medical problems, mainly my weight as I had weighed about the same my whole adult life and now I had put on a few stone and now I have to try and lose it,as for my thyroid I have trouble getting the Meds right its a real pain,blood tests all the time.I just don't feel I have much left in my life,depressed,sick all the time. I eat well as I have high cholesterol so its not that I over ate,I noticed you do feel a lot more like eating sweet things. I found a site called ****** and found out there are thousands of woman,girls with the same problems as myself and that there is a class action law suit going on to Sue. Its worth having a look at this site it helped me a lot.I feel so bad I don't go out anymore I don't see friends or family I'm to depressed about my weight now. I am in the process of trying to find out if there is a Class Action Law Suit in Australia.If anyone knows of a Class Action in Australia could they Please let me know. After having the Mirena removed about 6 weeks ago I thought I was doing ok only a bit of spotting,but about 3 weeks after having it removed I got my period and the pain was unbearable,I was in agony stomach cramps and I bleed so much I thought I was going to die from blood loss,also the scariest was the huge blood clots,very scary,must of been four years of period in 1 week I couldn't believe how bad it was, I felt really sick and weak,but thank goodness its eased off now after a week. I just hope now I might slowly start and feel like my old self. Im also on medication for heart palpitations,I get Heart palpitations (SVT) a few times a week,I had my heart palpitations just after my thyroid removal op and was put on ecg and my heart rate was 176 Beats per Minute I was rushed to Intensive Care and I had to have an injection called Impending Doom (It makes you feel you are going to die) to slow my heart rate,it worked and I was kept in intensive car for 3 days,very scary thing to go through I hope I never have to go through that again,my heart palpitations got worse while I was on Mirena and now I also take Magnesium to help control them as well as Metoprolol which I have been on for some years and I recently read that if you are on Mirena it increases the side effects of Metoprolol.

So if you have had any bad experiences with Mirena please let us know,it will help others with their problems, hopefully. I just wish I never got Mirena and my advice is DON'T its not Worth the risk,if the Doctors had of told me about the BAD side effects I would NEVER of had it put in. Sorry about going on so long, Good Luck to you all,

Thanks Net.

UPDATE

I have had it out nearly 3 months now my painful breasts feel normal again,I haven't lost any weight yet, but will soon hopefully,I do feel a lot better but still get some of the symptoms back just before my period.

I get sooo mad when i think of what Mirena done to me and all the other women and how bad some of their side effects have been. I get mad when i read some of the other ladies stories and the terrible things they have gone through ,

Perforations,Miscarriages,IUD's lost in their body,

Hystorectomy,and the rest. I want to wish them all the best, and we WILL get Better and Bayer ,Mirena will PAY some day for what they have done to US..

I have used the NuvaRing for about 3.5 years, starting after my 6 week check up when my daughter was born in 2004. In the beginning I felt like it decreased my sex drive but also that maybe post baby body that caused that too. For three years I had no problems. I had noticed breast tenderness throughout but other than that no side effects. About 8 months ago it began with a missed period, then two periods in one month. My OBGYN recommended 'resetting' my body by taking out the ring until my next cycle and starting it up again. I followed his directions but the next cycle came along with a bladder infection followed by a yeast infection. Over the next 4 months I either had one or the other, continually visiting my doctor I didn't make any connection to the two. Stomach pain, chronic fatigue and kidney pain also added to the list. My doctor prescribed a series of medications followed by blood tests and a referral to a specialist. Over the summer my husband asked that I stop using the ring because my sex drive had hit rock bottom. After a few weeks of taking out the ring, the burning sensation during urination has gone away. Stomach cramps and back pain has ceased and no infection to date. I am in my early thirties and after a week off the ring I realized what they mean by 30's sex drive. My husband and I are both happy with the changes. I visit my OBGYN again in a few weeks to revisit non-hormone options for BC

Been on a 7 day 100mg course for sinus infection. Ive felt dizziness, headaches, nausea, tingling in my arms and legs, heartburn, stomach cramps and my throat and glands swollen up. Also Ive been left with no energy and sleeping for 12 hours a night. As soon as I got in from work I was going straght to bed! Couldn't even be bothered getting a shower. Which is very unlike me as Im very active normally. My course finished 2 days ago and my heartburn remains as well as the headaches. And my sinus problem has not gone. This was not worth it! Never again!

THIS IS HORRIBLE !!! Have severe UTI . (1st ever) . Picked up RX at 10:40 a.m. Took 1 pill at 11:00 a.m. Started off with sever nausea, belching, stomach cramps. Later had chest pains and shortness breath and now itching and it's 7:32 p.m. Trying not to go to ER. One pill. Can't wait till this stuff is out of my system. If it works for you, that is great. Not meant for everyone. It's Friday night, no relief i sight and the doctors office is closed for the weekend. Since 1st, and hopefully only uti, has anyone who used macrobid for uti , mind suggesting a better RX.
Thank you :)

I am so glad this site is here. I started to think I was crazy. I got my Mirena put in on June 30th. Since then I've experienced excessive bleeding, stomach cramps and recently began to experience nausea as if I were pregnant. My bleeding has been so excessive that prior to having a baby I never really had long periods nor did I bleed heavily enough to go through a pack of pads. Now, I got through a pack of pads in two weeks. The nurse at by GYN says to take 800 mg of Ibuprofin inorder to stop the cramping and excessive bleeding. Ive found that taking 800 mg in the AM and at night stops the bleeding and cramps but, does this mean I will be taking Ibuprofin throughout my time with this birth control??

I was so sure I was pregnant I went out and got a pregnancy test to check. Thank god it was negative. I just had my first child May 8th and I'm not ready for another child right now. I've recently relocated to a new area and I'm still enjoying being on an extended maternity leave. Not to mention... I scared the heck out of my husband!! I feel so unsure about Mirena but I'm willing to try it out a little longer but, in addition to Mirena I'll certainly be using another birth control method for back up like a spermicide or something.

I am calling to make an appointment to have my Mirena removed as I type this post. I've had bleeding off and on - mostly on- since inserting in late June, but my main issue is incredible mood swings. Feelings of being out of control, depression and anxiety. My husband pegged it. He noticed that I had not been so witchy before I got my mirena. To make things worse, once I get upset, I can't control it. It is almost like I am possessed. Just two short months ago, I was nothing like this. It is amazing what a different person I've become and I can't wait to get back to my old self!!!!

I can also be added to the list of those who have had stomach cramps and constant discharge.

I was given Doxycycline to prevent infection from an HSG procedure. I took one the night before the procedure, two the day of and one the morning after. So total of 4 capsules of 100mg each. I'm supposed to take the full course, which is 6 capsules, but I'm going to stop now. After the 4th capsule I started having bad stomach cramps, a bit of nausea and severe diarrhea. I know the risks of not completing the course but I'm not going through these stomach pains again. No more Doxy for me! I have a similar bad reaction years ago to an antibiotic called Augmentin. I guess I have to avoid those 2 kinds of antibiotics in the future. After reading all the posts, I can't believe they still prescribe Doxy to people. It seems horrible.

Today was my first time taking NuvaRing out and about four hours after I did so, I got a horrible, stabbing pain in my vagina. It hurt so bad that I couldn't stop crying. The stabbing pain has stopped for now, but there's a constant burning sensation, discharge and stomach cramps. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am a 55-year old woman. I was first diagnosed with paroxysmal svt at age 7. It has never been much of a problem, but as I have aged, I have worried enough about it to make sure my doctors are all aware of the condition. I have had many ekgs, echos, worn a holter monitor, had every kind of stress test, but it wasn't until April that the svt was actually seen on an ekg. My internist freaked out, wanted to put me on Toprol immediately, but I resisted, since I knew that my irregular heartbeat could be back to normal by the time I reached the parking lot. I did heed her urging to see a cardiologist (two in fact), which led to an ep study, with the hope of a radio frequency ablation on August 5. I have been taking a full strength aspirin since April to decrease the slight risk of stroke during an svt episode. The ep study showed that the electrical problems in my heart were in places that made an ablation too risky, so nothing was done, but the doctor advised me to try Toprol (25 mg) for a month "and see how I liked it." I had my first dose in the hospital on Tuesday, August 5, and proceeded to take it as prescribed. By Thursday afternoon, I felt oddly on the verge of tears. On Friday, both of my knees were hurting, by Saturday evening, I was in bed feeling like I had the flu. Every joint in my body was aching. Sunday morning, I felt even worse. I found this website and decided to stop taking the medication at that point. Today, Thursday, August 14, is the first time I have felt vaguely like my usual healthy self. After stopping the medication, I had 2 episodes of svt, lasting about 10 hours each. I have had excruciating stomach cramps, headache, inability to sleep, depression. This is after taking it for 5 days!! My heart (no pun) goes out to those of you who suffered for months on the drug and then even more months off of it. I know it helps many people, my mother included, but thank goodness that those of us who have a bad experience have a place to realize that we're not crazy.

i'm a 19 year old college student, and i'm on my last 3 days of this medication, and while i had bad side effects at first, i waited them out, and now they're mostly gone. i had stomach cramps, that gassy feeling, i was dizzy and felt faint...i felt like i was in a cloud and couldn't function. however, it was better than the misery i was experiencing from the sinus infection, where i was only able to sleep. i can return to work, and some side effects still linger , but its def. done its job as an antibiotic. i did develop a yeast infection from the antibiotic i took before omnicef, which is why i didn't want to change medicines again. i was on another antibiotic, which made me deathly sick. omnicef is supposed to have less severe side effects than other bacterial infection antibiotics out there. i did take a probiotic with the omnicef, i recommend taking one with any antibiotic. it levels out your bacteria levels, which may stop stomach problems altogether.

I have also had a headache with Pexeva, on and off for weeks, and even as a withdrawal symptom. I went back on after two days for various reasons. I mainly went off the med because it was making me have to go to the bathroom (soft stools, sometimes worse) and lots of gas and stomach cramps, etc. I decided to go back on though because I loved how calm and relaxed I was. I also had an awful headache like when I had first gone on the med. I believe it was withdrawal symptoms (even though I had just started Zolof). I thought if I went back on Pexeva, my gastrointestinal symptoms might disappear after a few weeks and I need to give it more time to see. I have been back on for 7 days now and have yet to achieve the calm and relaxed mood I was in, but maybe I need another week. The gastro problems are on and off, some days better than others. Headache has varied, but today the worst. The one problem I am having and perhaps is getting worse is itchy skin, especially my nose (on outside, top and around it). So, maybe I am allergic to Pexeva, which would explain also the gastro probs. All and all, I have probably been on this med for a couple of months or so, mostly on.

I recently started Yasmin about 9 days ago and I have not experience any real bad side effects. The first two days I felt a little emotional but I think it was because I had just started my period and decided to take the pill on Day 1 of my period. However, I am still spotting and wondering if this is normal. I am also experiencing some breast tenderness and stomach cramps. I usually have have breast tenderness and cramps two weeks before my actual period but I am thinking at this point it has nothing to do with my period but the actual pill. Can someone please let me know if this is normal?

I had the Mirena inserted in May of 2008. I had the normal bleeding and horrible pains after insertion. Had to go to the hospital because the pain was so bad. Now, 3 months later I have been dealing with extreme fatigue, some bloating, headaches, horrible mood swings, and extremely bad backaches. I figured that the backaches were from past issues (a wreck, pregnancy, epidural, and lifting a 30 lb baby everyday), but I think now it's because of Mirena. My back pain has been the worst part of this thing. I'm only 20 years old and when I wake up in the morning, I can't even bend over to pick something up without wincing in pain. Tonight I have been having bad stomach cramps. It feels like period cramps, with no sign of bleeding.

I have a friend who had the Mirena for about 14 months. She had to have it removed about a month ago because it got infected. She was in the hospital for 2 days and out of work for a week. They couldn't find any reason for the infection. She is now on about 9 medications including Percecet for pain.

I'm now considering having it taken out. I noticed a few weeks ago that I was always tired and I can't seem to get enough sleep. I just realized that it may be due to the Mirena. I'm going to make me an appointment with the OB/GYN to discuss the issue. Thank you all for informing me of these problems.

Oh, and my doctor never gave me a pamphlet when I had it inserted.

Hi! I had mirena after my first child in March. Everything was going great so I thought. I spotted like the doc said I would. The 28 and 29th of July I was in the hospital for fever, chills, severe headaches, back pain, neck pain, & stomach cramps. They did blood work, cultures, X-ray. & ultrasound come to find out it was Mirena the little piece of shit plastic. I called my doctor and told her and she told me it's infected because I have caught a sexual transmitted disease. That would be hard to do seeing that I haven't had sex in 1 YEAR!! I was pissed that she would say that when I told her I haven't and she got rude and said that. I have no reason to lie about it, but when the dad leaves and you have the child I don't have time for nothing but her. My OBGYN doesn't have kids what does she know! I advise no one to get mirena it's not worth it. I am still recovering taking meds. The DOC at the hospital said my body just rejected it!
