Firstly I am Male, aged 48. Suffer from really bad Hay Fever for years now and the same Doctor has administered Kenalog to me for about 6 years, once a year but twice this year. I am suffering dreadful pains in my ankles and lower back and a different doctor today has suggested it is the onset of Arthritis. After quizzing me more I mentioned having taken Kenalog for several years ( I thought it had no relationship whatsoever my current ailment) she has lectured me NOT to use it again. She suggests that it could be a contributing factor to my "Arthritis"( hope I'm spelling that right) Anyway, now I know! But, trouble is, what to do next summer..I really will suffer without it.

After taking Levaquin for 7 of the proscribed 10 days, I awoke with severe lower back ache, running down the front and backs of both legs. I did not connect the pain to the drug, as I have seen a chiropractor for similar pain. He said that it was highly unusual for a back issue to effect both legs, and that the hamstring pain must be some unrelated, coincidental muscle strain. After my treatment the pain got progressively worse. I could not sleep, and drank milk to ease the cramping in my legs in the night. The next day, I discontinued use of Levaquin, started drinking gallons of water and green tea to purse my system. On the 8th day, I strarted with the nausea, which I treated with crackers. No nausea on the 9th day. Receding muscle pain the night of the 9th day, and last night, the 10th day, receding still. Trouble is, the pain seems to magnify when I sit and espcially when I lay down. I am moving around pretty well during the day now, but my ability to sleep has been impaired and finally seems to be improving. Last night was pretty good.

Started taking lisinopril in mid Feb 06. Three weeks in and I've been experiencing unusual joint and muscle pain. I called my doctor, mentioning my symptoms and he seemed surprised, saying that the cough was the only side effect he was aware of. I have joint pain in my fingers, wrists, ankles, knees, elbows, shoulders, and muscle pain in the forearms, biceps and thighs. I read the email from the guy who felt "as if I am 75 years old", and I can empathize. I feel as though I'd just returned to the gym after a years absence and overdid it! Trouble is, it 's there every day and seems to be getting worse.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have taken Advair 100/50 one puff in the morning for several years. It has worked wonders in alleviating my Asthma. The trouble is I now have developed type II Diabetes. Also I have put on about 30lbs. that I don't seem to be able to loose. I eat about 2000 calories a day and exercise 5-6 times a week. I also have high triglycerides, high cholesterol and fatty liver. After reading the posts in this forum, I am convinced that the Advair is the cause. That being the case I made an appointment with my Allergist on Wednesday. I tell you what he has to say.

clotty breakthrough bleeding, chunky discharge (not thrush), headaches, nausea some months, slight weight gain, breast increase (at least there's one bonus), more recently I'm getting lots of cramps and low sex drive - who wouldn't have low sex drive with all of the above? I'm sure Yasmin is fine for some people, just not me.
The trouble is, I've tried about 10 pills in 14 years, none of which suit me. All of them result in some or all of the above side effects. And I too, object to having to go through this in order to prevent pregnancy. However, when I stopped taking the pill, I scored myself the most delightful son in the world. But I'm not ready for another. What can I do?

I began using nuvaring a year ago and discontinued it about 5 months ago because of the incredible amount of yeast infections I got. Trouble is, it messed up my pH so much that I still have a yeast infection. Nothing works to remedy it. I take 4 yogurt supplements a day just to keep going. This has happened to everyone I know who has used this medication. I'm trying a new remedy that has worked for my friend--gynazole cream plus 2 weeks (at least) worth of boric acid suppositories. If that doesn't work I'll throw myself off a building. Stay away from Nuvaring and spread the word.
