Teaspoon symptoms and conditions

I started a new job in January as a nurse and started to experience what I thought were stress attacks. I always new I had a fast heart rate 124 beats per minute at times but just thought it was the way my body was. So for the last few months I have been angry, tired, had heart palpitations through out the day and just have been feeling miserable. I have been on Yasmin for 4 years. The other day at work I felt my heart pounding in my chest and checked my heart rate and it was 140 beats per minute, my blood pressure was up (I normally have low bp) and I felt dizzy. I went to my GP after work and he suggested seeing a heart specialist as I was in sinus tachycardia. I decided to do some research into whether Yasmin could cause these symptoms as I felt there must be a reason. I am so glad that I found this sight!
I am an emotional reck at the moment and am so tired!

My doc prescribed levofloxacin, 500mg once a day for 21 days, due to a low level chronic sinus infection that had flared up. I got near immediate relief from the worst effects of the infection but have experienced a rather extreme metallic taste in my mouth. I've used a tongue scrapper and that helps for short periods. The other item that seems to help is chewing Altoids cinnamon gum. I ran across another web site that recommends rinsing with a solution of 8 oz water with 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. Other than the metallic taste, I haven't had any adverse reactions. Good luck to all.

Hello everyone, I did a posting on Sept 27th will my adverse reaction to levaquin. Well, I did a lot of research as to how to help with the side effects. In addition, I discussed the side effects with a friend in medical school to see what he could come up with. I did not even bother going back to my doctor because from many stories that is just a waste of time.

Anyway, its been about 3 weeks and my side effects have gotten much better. Not totally gone...but much, much better. Everything was from my local drug store.

Here is what I did:
Do a colon cleanse or detox regimine right away. Get as much of this stuff out of your system as possible.

Fish oil LIQUID FORM one teaspoon a day (yuck...but do it!)

Bromelain to help with the joint inflammation

Glucosamine to help with joint repair. I got both a pill form as well as liquid. I used this product by Drinkables called Liquid Joint Care Dietary Supplement. Anything in liquid form absorbs quicker.

I also had to resort to getting a sleep aid for the insomnia, you need to get good sleep somehow to help your body repair.

Last but not least, and I know it sounds strange. One small shot of clear vodka a day. It's an old Russian remedy...I guess it has a cleansing effect on the body.

Anyway, somehow all of this really did help. Good Luck!

been on 20mg Omeprazole for well over a year & when i think back, i regularly have had a very bad rash round groin & armpits. Same doc prescribed steroid cream which kept it in check only. No mention that both only for short term use, I,ve just found that out on this & other Omeprazole websites! 3 weeks ago on Wed. night had normal itch on bum, scratched it, very sore, & carried on.By Sun am. I was at walk in center covered almost head to foot in large blotchy red rash unbearably itchy. After 2 duff diagnoses another GP at my practice took me off Omaprezole without really pointing the finger.The rash & itching have almost gone now after 2 weeks so he knew ok. Can only speak 4 myself but have very little faith in GPs & chemicals now. Someone on this site says try teaspoon Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar after meals which ties in with hints on " Miracle Cure 4 a Fee" sites elsewhere. Here,s hoping! Will update.

FOR THE LAST 2 YRS OFF & ON I HAVE BEEN TAKING THE KILLER DRUG DIOVAN 160/12.5 MG AND, YES IT'S BEEN TERRIBLE!!!!!!!!! WHERE DO I START ....... CHEST PAIN,HAIR LOSS, LEG CRAMPS, SORE FEET, BACK PAIN, ARM PAIN, KNEE PAIN , SHORTNESS OF BREATH . LAST YR MY LEGS HURT SO BAD MY DOCTOR STARTED TO PUT ME ON MEDICATION FOR RLS ( RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME) ......PLEASE IF YOU JUST STARTED THIS MED STOP RIGHT NOW !! GET YOU SOME APPLE CIDER VINEGAR W/ MOTHER(MOTHER) TAKE 2 TEASPOON W/ 8OZ GLASS OF WATER OR JUICE 3 TIMES A DAY AND, WATCH YOUR BP DROP AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS YOUR BP SHOULD BE NORMAL THEN START TAKING IT ONLY IN THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT

Have been using since 1998, ten years, 10gm per day, stops most all heartburn but does have some side effects. I have a warm discomfort high around waist and mild sweating. MD said if I stopped it would take 5-8 days to leave system, and the diet must be very non acid generating, like yogurt, jello, fresh fruit and apple juice, no orange or citric juices. He said some people then add 1 teaspoon of Aloe Gel after meals and take Zinc-L-Carnosine (PepZin) twice daily. Have used this technique for 3 weeks, all discomfort, except for mild sweating has gone. Remember, acid blockers, acid pumps, and anti acids only stop the acid, they do not do much for healing. Be kind to your tummy, no booze, coffee, pain pills etc.

Do you see the muscous turn red as you blow your nose? We see this a few minutes after taking the teaspoon of Cheratussin AC syrup.

I have taken, for the first time in my life for poison oak, prednisone- 60 mg for 3 days, 30 mg for 1 day, and 20 for 1 day. A week after the dose ended, I took another dose of it. As soon as that was over, the symptoms began with extreme low energy and dizziness, and eyes not feeling to well. I have been like this for a week, and would like to know how long this will last? And what can I do to speed up the process?

Help! Is there anything I can do to stop this bad taste in my mouth??? Like take with a teaspoon of honey or (even bleach may taste better jk) to coat it while in my stomach? thanks

My doctor prescribed Singulair for me a couple of years ago. I stopped taking it because it gave me bad/weird dreams (I have a tendency to dream weird anyway). He also told me it works on your "brain" as opposed to an antihistamine. So I went back to Allegra. Well, my allergies became so severe due to Allegra not being covered by my insurance that I started taking a famous "placebo" called "Claritin" that my insurance company says should work for me. A teaspoon of sugar would have better results. Just began Singulair again, as my doctor said it works better on rhinitis and inflammation. Took it for about a week (the weird mind-racing dreams began after a few days). I thought I was just stressed about an upcoming overseas vacation to a non-allergy area. Didn't take Singulair while on my cruise and had no bizzare dreams (other than being VERY anxious the first day of the cruise, once again I attributed to stress). Came back on Sunday and resumed Singulair Sunday. Today is now Wednesday and I don't think there was one moment of my sleep last night that did not contain ongoing, bizzare, mind-racing dreams! And I often did not fall back asleep for quite some time because I would begin to lucid dream which really freaking me out! The really bad news: I ordered 100 pills from a Canadian drug company that I am now stuck with! $175 worth!

I switched from Prevacid to Nexium....that was a mistake. Like others have said on here, it is like taking no pill at all. I still get chest pains that wake me up in the middle of the night. These pills have made me lose tons of sleep. Something new now, is actually having intense heartburn, taste of acid, and dry mouth, along with all of the other symptoms. (Constant nausea, etc.) One thing that helped me while stuck on Nexium was a teaspoon of apple cidar vinegar. Sounds nuts but research it and read the results! Anyway, I'm going to the Dr. today to hopefully switch to Aciphex.

My Mum took liptor for 2 weeks it almost killed her. Her muscles degenerated and her liver almost gave up. 2 years afterwards she is still suffering.

She has found relief by taking each day a teaspoon of a good quality powdered form of MSM, also powdered Noni.

She has also done a cleanse using 3 teaspoons of powder activated charcoal for 5 days. She also did a colon cleanse by taking one tablespoon for seven days of calcium bentonite clay and also pascalite bentonite clay.

She also cleanse her liver by drinking the juice of one organic lemon each morning one hour before food for seven days.

She drinks Naked\Odwalla carrot juice to help cleanse the blood and Naked\Odwalla Green Machine\Green Superfood, helps with pain and gives energy.

She also uses white willow and ashgawandha for pain and swelling.

I developed a staff infection from a horse throwing me and landing on my leg. What I though was scraped up skin was actually a big chunk of dead skin where there was no drainage. They drained about a 1/2 cup of puss from the back of my leg. Then I was presented with the choice of losing my leg or taking antibiotics. I chose the antibiotics because within 12 hours the infection had taken up almost all of the lower leg. I was given two antibiotics, one of them being levequin. I was on levequin for 15 days. I had no really severe reactions until the 14th and 15th day. Now the pain is very extreme in the sacral area and I have trouble sleeping sometimes, nightmares, and depression. My feet and hands became very dry and had burning pain. I had very bad stomach cramps which I used a flora/probiotic for and it corrected. I took 5 doses of 10 capsules... one that evening and 4 the next day (2 to 3 capsules equals 60 billion viable cells per gram of flora or acidophilus and bifidum cultures. I am now continuing that treatment taking 10 capsules a day. I have heard that lactobacillus GG is the best culture for antibiotic resistant bacteria (C-diff toxin bacteria colitis).
I have been praying and searching for a holistic treatment for the problems. Because the fluoride in levequin makes the body very acidic and robs the body of calcium I have taken many supplements and done a lot of raw juices. I think the reason I did not react sooner is because I have been using a rounded teaspoon of dulse (a seaweed containing natural iodine with naturally occurring minerals) a day and a teaspoon of chlorella, both of which (iodine and chlorella) are specific for eliminating toxic metals and poisons in the body (ex. copper, radiation, mercury, fluoride, etc.). The best product I have used for the pain is an alkaline water call Essentia. I can be in horrible pain and drink a full glass of this and I the pain eases right up and my brain clears. The water is sold at the Smith Food Stores and I would like to see someone else here try it and see what it does for their pain. I honestly believe that the human body has the intelligence to heal provided we can supply it with the right healing substances to carry the poison out.
I will be trying acupuncture to hopefully further accelerate the healing process and stabilize the back, so I can do a let you know how that works. I would like to see more feedback of what works to alleviate the problems.

I have taken 2 doses of Levaquin. Almost immediately after dose #1, I noticed that I felt agitated. I couldn't sleep that night as my mind kept going all over the place. Also, when I closed my eyes, it was as if I were looking into a bright light. In the morning, my face was very swollen and my jaw was very sore. After dose #2, no sleep that night and this morning I can barely open my mouth. I used a teaspoon to eat. Actually, eating doesn't really appeal to me because of a metallic taste and fuzziness in my mouth. My face is still very swollen. I called my MD. My sinus headache is gone so he said to stop the drug and "let's see what happens". I'm not taking this drug ever again!

My son is 3 and he had sported a flemmy cough so long that Doctor gave him Viravan. He warned me that its may make him hyper or alter his mood. Well, at 1/2 teaspoon at 8PM, he was still wide awake at 1AM! It doesn't seem to change his mood, even during the day after the morning dose, but no sleep is NO sleep. Yes, this drug keeps my son awake and he still has the cough. Not so good. I wish better luck for other children.
