Sweats and chills symptoms and conditions

I've been taking KEFLEX since I got out of the hospital for a kidney infection on Wednesday. I was so weak, sleepy/tired so "out of it", that I've been in bed practically the entire day and my husband has had to watch our two small children by himself because I simply am unable to function. I have an awful metallic taste in my mouth, no appetite, my body physically hurts all over, food/drink doesn't taste right so I'm not eating/drinking much at all, sweats and chills. I believe this medicine was manufactured in the 9th circle of hell by satan himself. My husband already had to miss work all last week and if I'm not any better tomorrow he will have to miss Monday as well. Fortunately, he has plenty of PTO but we try to save his days in case he needs them. I'm calling my dr. tomorrow and if I have to I will DEMAND a different course of antibiotics. In my case, the cure is worse than the illness. B.

I'm in such a panic right now, I'm 23 and i've been on Mirena since November of 08 after I had my first child. I got pregnant on birth control pills, so they suggested the IUD. I was never told of any side effects, or was warned about anything. Reading these horror stories has made me realize that all this time, the IUD has been making me insane!

Starting about 5 months after Mirena was in me I started having ALL of these symptoms:

*Nausea/Vomiting
*Dizzy
*Depression/Anxiety
*Feelings of being worthless, not being a good mother
*Anger spurts/uncontrolling emotion
*Sharp pains in my ovaries (mostly my left)
*Neck stiffness/Lower back pain
*Migraines
*Weight gain(40lbs in 3-5 months)
*Exhausted-No matter how much sleep
*Insomnia (on and off)
*Light bleeding everyday (not just during my period)
*Clear/bloody discharge
*Pain during sex
*Facial/back acne (i haven't have a pimple since i was 17 and back acne since i was like 13)
*Sweats and chills

I guess I blamed everything on stress, or a cold, or normal relationship fights...it never ever occured to me that it could be my IUD. Until I woke up this morning with the worst pain and decided to Google "Mirena warnings/problems " Thank You all for your stories, I am on my way to the ER to get this thing out of me, and pray that I don't have any ectopic pregnancies/cysts/ or anything else this IUD is apparently responsible for. Don't get Mirena, it's not worth it...and if you do, make sure your doctor tells you the FULL story. Don't let them glamour you with the " you wont get pregnant for 5 years bs"

I am 25 and had never taken BC before in my life. Due to my love/hate relationship with condoms, I decided to give it a shot. My doctor prescribed me Lo24 because of the low amounts of estrogen. I started taking the pills 8 days ago. The first few days weren't too bad other than constant cramps, nausea, and super sore boobs. The last four were unbelievably unbearable. I was an emotional wreck and I cried hysterically a handful of times for no apparent reason. I was also really b*tchy (which I never ever am) and almost broke up with my amazing boyfriend whom I absolutely adore over petty nonsense. Worst of all experienced flu-like symptoms (hot sweats and chills), I felt terrible. I just couldn't understand how such a tiny little pill could have such a huge impact over my physical and emotional well-being. I literally looked in the mirror and asked myself aloud, "Who are you?" I couldn't understand why I felt and acted the way I did, it was like I was a completely different person at times, and I seriously missed "me." I decided I would rather abstain from sex altogether than subject myself and my love ones to another day of my emotional and physical rollercoaster ride. I had one of the most trying weeks ever because of those pills. I realize that everyone reacts differently to medication. My body personally completely rejected the drug, and my overall opinion of BC is severely tainted now. I just hope that now that I stopped taking them (today) that everything will return to "normal" again. Good luck ladies, and listen to your bodies, if it feels wrong, it probably is.
