Tingley symptoms and conditions

I had the mirena inserted Dec. 4. 2008. I't worked really well the first couple months i thought i really liked it. until a couple of weeks ago i started getting really dizzy i thought i would pass out. I also got really tingly in my feet and my arms the most. and i have gained a lil weight that i just can't seem 2 lose no matter what i do. i thought something was really wrong with me until i googled dizziness with mirena. just 2 see if that would have anything 2 do with my symptoms. and yes apparently it does. i called every doctors office in town and nobody believed me that it was the mirena doing this 2 me so they wouldn't remove it. so i'm having my sister in law remove it 4 me today since she's a nurse. i can't wait. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE 2 FEEL NORMAL AGAIN??????

hello its me again i am posting another issue i had with yaz when i stopped it after 5 days. My blood pressure sky rocketed to 147/over 102 which i have never had a problem with my blood pressure it has always remained 117/69. i had to go to the ER three times because of of this it would just hit me i would get very tired i felt like my heart was skipping which it was and my vision was very foggy. my left arm went numb and tingly every time this happened for days . They said it was rare side affects from the yaz rare my butt how is it possible that i could get all the side affects yet there are suppose to be rare whats bad about is the lady at the ER didn't even know that yaz had side affects like this tell she looked it up thats very sad to me considering there are lists and list of people who have had the same problem as me plus if i wouldn't have listened to my boyfriend and myinner self i think after two weeks i would have had severe problems considering i was on it for only five days and look what it did to me not to mention the doctor confirmed i smoked a pack a day and told me to take it any ways . can i do some then about this with a lawyer or do i just have to suck it up

Has anyone else developed extreme sun sensitivity? I have many of the other side effects listed here, but 6 months ago my dose was increased and I became so sensitive to the sun that I can't go outside for even a minute. I get a deep tissue burning (not a sunburn on the surface) and tingley or chills sensations. I have been to the Dr. and stopped taking it one month ago, but so far no improvement. Please, i would like to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I quit Lipitor (40mg) five weeks ago. I believe I was on a trajectory to disabilty within a year.
The unbelievable left elbow pain has gone (maybe the cortisone worked!). My left knee feels "normal" again, not perfect but nearly like it used to be. Within a couple of days of quitting I had severe pain in my right thumb along the bone, then in the middle of my right hand, then between the first and second fingers in my right hand. I currently have minor pain in my right wrist (this is new) on the pinkie side and minor pain in my left shoulder where the arm joins (this has been intermittent for a couple of months). I am feeling much better - but would not be at all surprised if pain appears in another part of my body before this is all history! There is also plenty of joint clicking going on.
I believe I first reported pain to the assistant doctor to the heart surgeon two weeks after I had the stent put in and was put on Lipitor. I was also on various other medications. I had tingling on the ends of my fingers and toes at random - hard to describe but it was as if a fairly sharp object (like a ball point pen, say) was being pressed progressively harder from the end of the finger/toe and towards the rest of that finger/toe: and as the pressure increased it would suddenly become painful. It was not a tingling/numb sensation but more a tingling which increased sufficiently that it hurt.
I am only being so specific because when I described these "symptoms" the doctor shrugged. If anyone has had similar - and I have seen tingling mentioned here - please make contact with me as I do want to report my experience back into the medical community but find, an exact description difficult. Things never needed to have got so bad if this was the first warning.
I since asked my family doctor if my knee problem was Lipitor related and she thought not: I was referred to Physical Therapy. I also told the physical therapists (who thought my knee should recover much sooner, and were surprised that I had zero mobility pain) that I also had serious elbow pain.
The orthopedic surgeon I saw did not connect the elbow problem to Lipitor.
The heart surgeon (stent insert) could perhaps be the only person who I did not tell of the pains - I don't remember - but I may be so grateful to be alive - that he may be someone to whom I did not voice a complaint!
On the positive - five weeks later I am feeling significantly better.

I am an overweight 51 year old man and have been on Linisopril for only 1 week.I am also type 2 diadetic. I take metformin,lipitor,aspirin,gabapentin.Side effects-Fatigue,Low blood sugar, pain in neck,dizziness and sometimes almost pass-out when I get up,tingley hand and feet,blurred vision..Went food shopping today am literally exhausted .Great drug Eh?Even tried splitting doseage by taking half in morning and half at dinner .Any other diabetics having same side effects from this drug?

I will say that since taking Lipitor I have fallen 3 times , have a stsggery fell when I walk ,legs feel weak,hand and fingers are tingley ,have no engery,depressed, and angery . That a doctor I trusted with my life and health care could hurt me so bad.A year ago I wouild never beleive I would be in such a shape as I am too day.I now am going to a neurologist to see (?) what wrong with me. I know what I beleive it's 80 mgs of Lipitor for 2 months of my life that really messed me up.My girlfriend has me on the prayer list at her church.Thanks pray everyone gets better.

I was prescibed Levaquin for a sinus infection in late May. The first day I took it my entire right leg fell asleep while I was standing. Just thinking I was tired I did not think much of it. The next day while laying in bed my hands fell asleep. By the 3rd day my arms & hands & tip of my nose were tingley
I also had a bit of chest pain. I immediatly stopped taking the Levaquin. About a week later I woke up with a severe pain in my hip & pain shooting through my abdomen every time I took a step. It has been 6 weeks & my pain in my abdomen is gone but my back hurts all up & down my right side & the same leg that fell asleep when I was taking the Levaquin has been tingley & crampy. I am going to the doctor tomarrow to see what is going on I suspect it is side effects from the Levaquiin.

i suspect the lack of sexual drive and full hard erection is due to atenolol--same class/family of drugs as toprol w/c is a beta blocker. i was also on toprol for a brief period but when it started to cause anxiety, nightmares, depression, and lack of libido...i told my doc and was switched to something better. if one doc doesn't care or listen to your symptoms, it's time to find another one that does...so that's good you're going to a different doctor. a good physician will work with you and try other hbp medications that will control the bp and have the least bothersome or damaging effect.
