Thanks for your support symptoms and conditions

I am going today to get this "thing" taken out after having it for 2 years i have realized this is the root to my problems!! I went to my yearly appointment last tues to learn that i have what is called lichen sclerosis (eczema of the butt) haha what the hell?? i though it was a joke, but come to find out it can cause skin cancer if gone with out treatment, and continuous scratching, and all of you who have experienced eczema know that you can't help but to scratch!! i was sure to give everyone a good laugh when i told them the findings so they prescribed a cream that made it worse, aching to find something to cure this incurable itch i made a mixture of oatmeal, honey, cinnamon, and mint yummy huh and put this on my "area". ohhh it helped and very little scratching for about 18 hrs now. i am so grateful for these posts my husband was thinking it was all in my head. on top of all this i was experiencing swollen labia, headaches, WEIGHTGAIN, moodiness,ibs,no periods(about the only thing that they will tell you), and much more. we'll see how it goes. good luck to you all. P.S. IF YOU HAVE MIRENA GET IT OUT NOW!!!!! thanks for your support!!

I started taking thyroxine about 6 weeks ago - i went to the doc with tingling fingers, bloods showed tsh 34 so doc gave me 50mg thyroxine. Felt awful within a few days i was getting palpitations and felt like my skin was crawling. I couldn't bear even the slightest noise. I had diarrhea (cant spell) fast heart rate, the shakes and couldn't handle lots of people in a room. I am a teacher so it became difficult for me to work. I went up to 100 it got worse, until in the end I decided to stop them.
I am going to wait and see but I would rather be hypo than have these symptoms, my doc said you will feel great soon, pah what a load of c%%%

Hi! I JUST had the Mirena put in Yesterday...Tues. And within one hour I started to feel foggy, light headed and crazy! I started getting a pressure headache. Being the last patient of the day, I knew the office was closed. So I looked online and found you all. I am horrified at this point! I couldn't sleep last night at all! I was so nauseous and had the poops. (sorry, tmi) Today I feel full of anxiety and my heart is racing. I feel like I'm on drugs or drunk! My head is still pounding. I kept calling my OBGYN and didn't talk to him until about 2 hrs ago. He said none of these symptoms are from the Mirena. So I hear that is most of the Docs words around here! He suggested I give it more time and call him in a few days and if I want it out, he will take it out. Well the thing is, I am ready to pull it out myself! I feel like I'm crazy! Seriously! I don't know what to do! I called my PCP and they refuse to take it out b/c they didn't put it in. They suggested going to the ER. Well my insurance for sure won't cover that!! So what do I do? I feel like I'm going crazy and no one will listen! We are moving to Italy in a month nd I need this resolved AWAY before then! Any advice will help! I just know when I call my doc, he will try to make me keep it in! What do I do?? HELP! Thanks for being here! Wish I had found you before. I am really good about researching things and I didn't with this. I trusted my doc! The other thing is I hear a ton of you have gained weight!!! I JUST had a full tummy tuck June 5th and I freaking better not gain weight!! LOL I want this out!! Calling my doc tomorrow and demanding he take it out. Has anyone had a doc refuse taking it out and if so, what is our recourse? It's our body right?? Thanks again for listening to me gripe!!! ;) God Bless!!

Reason 1151 to run away fast from IUD's. I had surgery yesterday to have a Mirena removed. I thought it would be an easy procedure and was already annoyed that I had to go that far. I am waking out of anesthesia and the OB tells me that the IUD had migrated to my abdomen so they removed it with a laproscope. Apparently it perforated my uterus.

But, How strange I am ALREADY feeling better. Here's what is gone:

Muscle aches around my hips
Extreme tiredness

I will keep you updated - and thanks for your support. You can see my other posts to read the whole story.

Wow, I just found this site. The child that had strep especially caught my attention. My daughter, 11, has been diagnosed with PANDAS, which is also a controversial diagnosis. I'm not sure when she went on Singular, but it was a couple of years ago due to allergies. She had bad reactions to anti-histamines. For the past two years we have been dealing with just about every issue posted here. Physical pains, stomach, headaches, joints. urination issues, high cholesterol, but the worst have been the irritability , mood issues, OCD, fears of cutting herself, bad thoughts, suicidal ideation. She was on Zoloft which made things worse, She was hospitalized at her own request. She was placed on Prozac. She's had years of therapy. She would say life is just so hard and she wants to be a normal kid. About a month ago her pediatrician mentioned that there were some reports about Singular and it would be something to watch for and discuss with the psychiatrist, He didn't seem to know much about it. Last week after another suicidal ideation I decided to research the singular issue. I had been attributing everything to the PANDAs. I was so surprised to see the similarities. I took her off of it Friday and have seen some changes already. I hope we see that continued improvement. Thanks to all who have shared stories, it's so helpful. To have hope that you'll get your kid back is great.
