Tummy pains symptoms and conditions

I suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. I have problems with painful joints and have fluid on my knees. I tried Aqua Ban to try to relieve the fluid on my knees. I started by taking 2 tablets x 2 times on the first day, I was fine. The next day I took same dosage. In the afternoon I started feeling unwell. I went to bed as I had terrible tummy pains, felt sick and went downhill quite quickly. The next day I felt worse and had cramping pains all day. I stayed in bed with a hot water bottle. I had no energy at all. This went on for 4 days and eventually I ended up with a pain in my pelvic region. I can only think that the Aqua Ban had such an affect because of the chronic fatigue/fibromyalgia? Has anyone else had an experience like this?

I am a hill walker. My name is Steve and I am 58 years old. I have been recently diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes. Fair enough. I have been given dispersible aspirin, metformin to lower blood sugars, ramipril to reduce blood pressure and SIMVASTATIN to reduce cholesterol. This drug (Simvastatin) made me so Ill that I couldn't walk up my drive without feeling as if I was going to pass out. I also suffered tummy pains, felt very sick and my heart was thumping and banging like a base drum. Every joint in my body ached so badly that I thought my walking days were over for good. I stopped taking it four days ago and already feel better. My doctor has given me a replacement medicine called PRAVASTATIN but I am frightened to take it, fearing that it may create the same or similar problems. Has anyone got any comments or experienced problems with Pravastatin? I would appreciate any feedback that you might be able to give, positive or negative.
Regards,
Steve.

My 8 year old daughter has been on Singulair for about 2 months now. I've noticed she complains of tummy pains, hasn't been eating as well, and seems less energetic. The biggest problem she has experienced is not being able to sleep. She is up and down all night and after she wakes, lays awake for hours unable to go back to sleep. Last night it just hit me...this all started when she started the Singulair. So today I searched Singulair side effects on the internet and I found this site. I am horrified at what I have been reading. No more Singulair for her and I hope she will return to normal. I feel horrible that I was giving this to her. Makes me want to cry.

Thank you for all of your shares! Has anyone experienced Diarrhea as a result of taking Yasmin 28? I have been on it for 4/5 years. I started taking it because my GYN diagnosed me with endometriosis and my periods were heavy and sooo very painful. So, at first it was a relief; my periods didn't last as long, were not as heavy and the cramps were lessened. HOWEVER, ever since I have been on the Yasmin, I have been certainly very moody, and I have had moderate to severe tummy pains a lot of the time, and spontaneous bowel movements including diarrhea! I have tried every medication from anti-spasmadic meds to anti-anxiety meds to homeopathic remedies and probiotics. I was diagnosed with IBS many years ago but the symptoms grew soooo much worse ever since I started the Yasmin!! After being on Yasmin, it was as if my whole gastro system broke down; I have seeked help & testing from gastroenterologists since I developed ulcers due to h-pylori bacteria, diverticulosis of the intestines, gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining)and I even developed a hiatal hernia and have to take prevacid daily ever since I started taking Yasmin! I eat healthy, I am 33 years old, I don't drink or do drugs and I don't smoke. I swear I am beginning to think all of this may have been caused by the Yasmin since none of it was occurring before I started taking the Yasmin 4.5 years ago!? I think I want to get off of it now, but I am afraid to take any other birth control due to suffering from more side effects. Although I do want to have children with my boyfriend when we get married in a few years, I am in fear of getting pregnant now if I get off the Yasmin. I don't even know if the rythym method truly works. Help?!
