Vitamins symptoms and conditions

My 16 yr old daughter had her series on Gardasil shots completed in March 09. I don't recall any major side effects right away. In the past three months, she has been throwing up after taking a few bites of food. She drinks a lot of Pepsi and has a lot of stress, so I thought she was developing an ulcer, so I told her to stop drinking pop for awhile to see if that helps. The symptoms have subsided, but now that I am reading this website, I am worried. Before the shots she had headaches or migraines, they run in our family, but I have noticed that she has them more often now. Another thing is her hair is everywhere. I thought she was damaging her hair with the straight iron, but geeze, now I don't know. All these problems might be tied to the Gardasil shot.

hair loss, neuropathy in my right leg, complete exhaustion, numbness and tingling, stabbing pain in my back that wraps around my chest, headaches, depression, paranoia, stomach pains, chest pains, tremors in my head, pain down my neck, pain in toes, blurred vision, tearing pains in feet, very weak, moody, pain in face, really bad symptoms week prior to period, cracking sound in joints, -- Have had symptoms for three years and just had a neurologist confirm today that all of these problems have been caused by my doctor prescribing avelox and prednisone!

for about a week I can not read the replays to people's posts. Can it be fixed please? My son is on week four being off singular. There are good days and bad. Hopefully we are heading toward more good. I think what I have noticed is he does better with extra sleep and vitamins.

i started using nuvaring about two and a half years ago. i have always had a small problem with eczema (on the inside of my elbows only), though for the past two and a half years, it has consistently been flaring all over my body. it looks awful and has brought me to an emotional low that NOBODY should feel. i have spent thousands of dollars on medical visits (including a patch test - "inconclusive"), medicines (a variety of steriods, protopic, allegra), vitamins/teas/etc, and countless hours reading and online trying to figure out what could be causing this uncontrollable flaring. about two months ago, i decided to stop using the ring and see if it is the problem. so far, things have been clearly up, SLOWLY but there's some hope now. if anyone is experiencing these symptoms, i urge you to try and remove the ring, don't waste as much time as i did and have to recover from two + years worth of damage to your skin.

My daughter just turned 19 years old yesterday. She is a Christian and has kept herself pure and plans to until marriage. She attends a Christian University. She had her last gardisil shot in May. Since this shot she has been complaining of severe fatigue, dizziness and has had no menstrual cycle. My first thoughts were concerns that this was caused by the gardisil shot.She just saw a doctor at her University last week. All the test run were negative and the doctor wants to further test for osteoporosis and place her on birth control pills to regulate her periods. She does not want this.The doctor did not perform a pap smere due to her being a virgin.I have contacted our local doctor and was informed that there was no way to tell if any of her symptoms could be side affects of the gardisil shots she received. My husband decided to investigate the side affects of gardisil and came upon this web-site. I am just wandering if this should be legally investigated and how could someone find out if there are legal ratifications for this problem. I am just praying that these are temporary symptoms and my daughter will recover and be able to have a children after marriage. Please pray with me and I will for each of you as well.

everyone has their own opinion about mirena but i am here to assure you all that your not crazy. Im currently 19 years old and had mirena inserted October of 2008. Its been about a year and im going nuts. For a long time i had no answers to all of the crazy side effects. I didn't want to believe it was this wonderful easy convenient birth control. Im a college student and i just didn't want any unplanned babies. well its made my life worse. I smoke cigarettes so my doctor told me this was the best option and so i was all for it. Slowly but surely i started losing hair i didn't notice for awhile because my hair was thick in full well i can wrap a standard pony tail four frekin times around my pony. Its about half of my usual hair now. NOT ONLY is it falling out but its very dry and splitting all it does is tangle. Im very healthy young and i take vitamins daily to try and slow this process but it does no good. Since February of 2008 ive been having these terrible episodes were i get worked up for no reason. Ill be sitting in class and all of a sudden i feel like ive run a marathon. My heart races my palms sweat and a tremble. I get so freked out i have to leave class because i fell like im going to die. The worst anxiety attacks and i have to control my breathing or they just last longer. My face is so oily and so is my hair. I usually only washed my hair every other day so i don't strip the natural oils out but now its become a everyday thing which just contributes to more hair lose. I use to break out only around my period now i don't go a day without acne. Im even getting it in my scalp and back. If I don't eat on a schedule i feel like im going to pass out i get severely hungry and weak. I have pains in my uterus and ovaries sometimes and though they don't last long they are painful. I never feel like i want to have sex ever and if i do theres no telling when its going to hurt. Im very dissatisfied with mirena i loved it at first but not enough to go bald. ITS MADE MY LIFE SO STRESSFUL I FEEL BALD AND UGLY AND THAT LEADS TO DEPRESSION.

LOWER BACK PAIN
STOMACH PAIN
NO SEX DRIVE
ACNE AND OILY SKIN
DAMN NEAR BALD
PAIN IN UTERUS/DURING SEX/ANYTIME
EXTREME ANXIETY
DEPRESSION

Hi...I had my the Mirena place in 8/08. I have noticed an increased amount of hair loss over the last 6 months( patchy areas). I have always had healthy hair and never experienced hair loss such as this. I thought maybe it was related to stress and pregnancy. My hair dresser recommends taking vitamins and eating healthy and that it is normal to shed hair daily...but not like this! After reading the posted reviews, I am now convinced that it must be the Mirena. My thyroid hormone level was normal in 6/09. Has anyone had the Mirena removed and noticed any change in the loss of hair?

Thanks...worried!

I have no idea if this is the vitamins, but its the only variable thats changed in my life recently so I can't explain it otherwise, but I am extremely agitated in terms of frustration and anger. I could honestly rip something off the wall and smash it.

I've been hearing my wife make comments about having a lot of these symptoms these last 5-6 months after having it put in last November. Both of us had discussed her new gradually acquired symptoms as needing to change our eating habits and start living healthier. Dropped the coffee and alcohol, Increased the vitamins.....all to no avail. It went from there straight to marriage counseling and me thinking that I married a freaking lunatic. She gained no weight but rather became more aggressive and snappy over nothing and everything. Emotional up swings with the seldom down. Anxiety, sleeplessness, nausea, periodic 'fluttering' feeling in her uterus and for the first time in 4 years I heard her complain of severe cramping to the point I became very concerned medically speaking. Whelp, we got into it this morning over absolutely nothing and again ten minutes later she found herself emotional, crying and apologetic. That was when she knew something wasn't right and luckily thought to check for possible side effects her birth control. (Mirena) This CRAP is coming out tomorrow! What a freaking NIGHTMARE for not only the love of my life but for me! These side effects are REAL and should be dealt with with REAL concern. I wish you ladies the best of luck in any decision that you may choose.

I start taking Yasmin 2 years ago,and discontinued it because of the melasma that I got on my face.Now that I am reading all this posts,I am connecting dots.I had been having horrible headaches,feeling bloated,very tired,depressed,rapid palpitations,chest pain,heavy legs and varicose veins.I never thought it could be caused by the pill,I really thought I was because I was aging(Im 32)Now I know the reason.As soon as I stop taking it all the symptoms stop too.Now I have been feeling great,but I was attributing to the fact that I start taking organic apple cider vinegar, MSM and some more vitamins.

I've finally had the mirena removed - about 2 months ago. I'd had a very light period around the time that it was removed, but none since. My body aches a little, still, but it's more tolerable that it had been before. Initially i could NOT stop urinating! i lost easily 3 lbs of nothing but water weight in the first couple of weeks. As excited as i was about that, it's a bit at a standstill now, losing the weight, but overall, my tolerance has grown, my sex drive has returned and mood swings have drastically been more controllable. I enjoy playing with my daughters again, and i've been able to get a lot more around the house cleaned. I feel about 70% better now and i'll take that any day over what i had been feeling. I do still get melancholy every now and then but not as severely.
in the past 2 week i've started taking vitamins - w/ a little extra b12 and calcium w/ D - to try and help my body balance out. that definitely makes a difference in how i feel through the day.
1 thing i can't get over is the constant thirsty feeling and almost a copper taste that lingers in my mouth, but i can only assume that after retaining water my body is re-adjusting to the intake/release ratio. good thing i like water and tea :) over all - i love having the mirena! ----- REMOVED!

I have severe endometriosis and am even severely anemic from the cysts that developed and my monthly cycle. I was going to an Oncologist for a year to receive iron infusions every three months. It is a two hour process. Not bad, but boring and sad because I was surrounded by cancer patients there getting chemo. I began my lupron shots May 2009 and it has been a Godsend! The pain is gone, I have more energy, I feel more alert and I am not sleepy all the time. My OB/GYN did put me on Wellbutrin as soon as I started getting the mood swings and that has been a tremendous help as well. The hot flashes and night sweats are really the only side effects I have to contend with. My OB/GYN wants to give me a prescription for low dose hormones but I refuse. I have lost a lot of weight over the years (174 lbs.) and am PETRIFIED of gaining it back. She told me that it was very likely that I would gain weight with the hormone replacement. I'd rather have the hot flashes and night sweats than gain any weight back as I worked sooooo hard to get it off and keep it off. Does anyone have any suggestions of any natural products such as herbs, minerals, vitamins, etc... that would help with those two side-effects?

started this 7 days ago for a prostate infection... I thought i've been going crazy this week until i saw this post..im having a horrible reaction to this stuff..although it does seem to help my prostate...it leaves the rest of me in bad shape. First off ive been getting lightheaded like every other day to the point as i think im have a panic attack but heart isn't racing...I've gotten diarrhea 3-5 times a day i go now...i had a bagel the other day for breakfast..it was the hardest thing to eat as i felt sick to my stomach and knew i had to eat something so forced it in..today i had a banana and some grapes and 15 minutes later was throwing it all up. I just called my doctor and asked for a change in antibiotics as this thing has lead me to believe there was something wrong with me although my doctor seems to think these side effects don't generally happen...i come here and see they happen EXACTLY how i have been feeling and just hope this doesn't last much longer in my system!

I took wellbutrin for a year. At about month 6 of that year I noticed a spot in the center/ front of my head, (right before my hair line) thinning a little. Didn't think much of it; I had enough hair for three people, no joke. That is not the case today. I quit the wellbutrin and have been off it for a year and i wish i could write to tell everyone it grows back, but for the life of me I cannot seem to get it to stop falling. the top of my head is the worse but hair comes out on the sides as well. Ive tried everything from vitamins, holistic docs to just running everyday. Ive had thyroid tests, blood test... everything except hair loss drugs because I don't believe this is the case trust me. Even if it were it seems to ridiculous to treat the side effects of one drug with another that also has side effects.

I was on ability for about 2 weeks to try to help calm my racing thoughts and chill me out on my supposed "mania" (The dr. said I might have a slight mania), at first it helped just a touch, not really much - but then towards the end of the second week, I felt faint and very nearly fainted... also felt like I couldn't concentrate at all. Now, months later, I feel as if it has permanently altered my brain chemistry because where I was almost manic in my energy (which was actually nice sometimes) now i have no energy at all and am sleeping tons and just can't get going in the morning. It's awful. Extreme fatigue that I have never known in my life before. I'm hoping to treat it with vitamins, exercise, sun, and am going to see a Naturopath. I won't touch any brain-altering meds in the future ever again. Abilify is horrific they need to just do away with it.

I decided to use Mirena, well...let's just say that I am considering getting it removed. I have lost tons of hair, I have been using Rogaine, biotin vitamins, and Nioxin cleanser and scalp therapy and still the hair loss continues. I always feel and look bloated, my ankles are swollen, and I am tired all the time. All these symptoms began when I got this "WONDERFUL" IUD. When I talked to my gyno. she simply brushed me off, so I went to my dermo. who I also thought was going to dismiss me. He told me that Mirena can cause hair to fall out and told me not to ignore it. I have decided to have it removed, I hope my body will go back to normal after this. Good luck everyone!

I had my mirena put in about 3 months ago. About a month later I started noticing hair loss; not to mention lower back pain, acne (mostly on my back, nose), abdominal pain, feeling tired, headaches, & depression. I have been dieting and exercising (extensively) for about 4 months now and have not lost a pound. The hair loss has really gotten out of control so I decided to check with a pharmacist and she suggested that I take Biotin 1000 and Womens One a Day every day. That same night I started googleing "Hair Loss", "Hair Loss Vitamins" and then I thought why not google "Mirena-Hair Loss". I am so happy that I was directed to this website. I was shocked to see how many woman are having the same symptoms I have. What I find most upsetting is that none of these side effects are mentioned on their website nor by the doctor. I already made an appointment to get this "horrible" thing out. Does anyone know if it hurts when it's removed?

I had my Mirena inserted after my second child in March 2009. I didn't have any difficulty with the insertion, but shortly after I started having severe headaches (about once a week) and bled on random occasions. About a month ago my family and I moved, and when we started living in our new house I noticed my hair falling out in huge clumps, which is something new to me because I have always had thick, healthy hair. I figured it was the stress from moving but when it didn't stop I came across this website and found out it was a side effect from Mirena. I put in a call today to the doctor to see about taking this thing out. Maybe I can take some extra vitamins to fix it that way I can keep the Mirena. If not it is coming out.

My daughter has this vaccine and was severely ill. Migraines, hair falling out, pneumonia, dehydration, you name it ... She was super healthy before this vaccine. You need to detox to feel better. Western medicine cannot help much - unless they understand the eastern side of medicine as well - trust me - I'm in a yahoo group Lets Talk About Gardasil.

You need to go gluten-free/sugar-free/casein(dairy)-free, drink bottled or distilled water and introduce extra vitamins. (B12, D3, magnesium, folic acid, and a liver boost, which you can find at a vitamin shop). There is lots of information at the yahoo group - so please join so you can get healthy. Gardasil is a GMO (genetically made) which has problems all its own - but you need to get the metals out of your body which are in this vaccine and in many foods you eat - start reading labels! No high fructose corn syrup and lots of rest. Please check out the chat group - and please file a VAERS report - that is URGENTLY needed to get this vaccine off the market.

I was started on prednisone for Dressler's Syndrome.. a heart inflammation. I have been taking 20mg daily, now 10.. I am having severe muscles cramps and rippling in my legs.. achy all over ,sweating, peeing all the time.. I am miserable. Why do doctor's dole out this stuff with out a thought???

Oh Oh after reading everybody's comments I'm not so sure if I should be on the NuvaRing. My OB suggested I use it to treat my hot flashes and irritability that I have, I'm 48 and had a partial hysterectomy but exercise, diet and all the OTC vitamins didn't help me cope with my hot flashes and irritability. Now I'm no so sure if NR is for me. Its only been a week still so I don't have any side effects yet.

I have been on prednisone since I was two years old (I am now sixteen) because I have Autoimmune Hepatitis IIa. I would like to point out that there is still a life worth living being on prednisone, maybe I say this because I do not know life without it, but at least we're alive! Last year I had a flare up of the AIH and had to 6x my dose of prednisone. It sent me into a spiraling depression of constant sleep, crying, hopelessness etc....but I made it through. Just PLEASE keep hope that things would get better, because I know what it's like being on the dreaded drug better than most.

I was 54 at the time (2007) and in good physical health, however, after having my first round of chemotherapy as a result of breast cancer, I developed a severe throat yeast infection and my white blood count plummeted. I had ceased taking my many vitamins that have kept me in reasonably good health for the past 25 years because of nausea and generally just not feeling good. The doctors prescribed Levaquin.

Almost immediately, I developed heart palpitations and continued to have fever, nausea, and a rushing feeling throughout my body that was draining me of all energy. I could tell I was fading fast. Upon calling the doctors I said then that I thought it was the Levaquin but they insisted I stay on it otherwise they would put me in the hospital.

After the 4th day on it and with my blood pressure sinking (80/30) my husband called the doctor and they said to go to the ER. I again said to the ER doctor that I thought it was the Levaquin and he scoffed at that. After several hours and many tests, the ER doctor released me and said I could stop taking the Levaquin and he prescribed something to help me to sleep.

By the next day, I already started feeling better and within 3 days I was back taking my vitamins and feeling much better. I never took chemo again after this experience. Unfortunately since then, I have experienced severe ankle and leg cramps in the middle of the night, muscle spasms in my legs. I don't trust my ankles, they feel weak. I assumed it was linked to the chemo and never guessed it could be tied to Levaquin.

I went to my internist doctor who prescribed Flexeril which has helped with the cramps. My massage therapist has noted many times that my tendons and ligaments seem twisted and she has to really work on them which ultimately feels better. I never thought any of these symptoms were tied to Levaquin until last night when I saw the ad on TV regarding Levaquin and tendinitis. I will show this info to my Internist the next time I see him. How does one know if what I am experiencing is linked to Levaquin.

I am 72 years old and in 1995 I had an artery blockage and had angioplasty.Upon my release from the hospital I was put on several prescriptions, beta blockers, cholesterol, Aspirin, Vitamins, etc. which I had been taking regularly for 13 years without any problems. In 2008 after having chest pain and going to the hospital my heart doctor advised me I had Atrial Defibrillation and put me on Warfarin and also told me to stop taking all the vitamins I was using along with my daily aspirin dose and one of my prescriptions. Since then I have had constant shoulder and muscle pain in my arm and leg. I have had several treatments by a chiropractor and several physical therapy treatments and the pain has not subsided. My memory has gotten worse also however I thought that was due to my age until I read some of the above side effects of Warfarin. I definitely have a lack of energy and also changed my diet due to the Warfarin. I have informed my heart doctor about the problems and he advised it is not due to the Warfarin. I don't agree with him after reading all the posts, but I am not a doctor. I will continue my prescribed dosage and Pt/Inr tests as schedule for a while, but if my pain etc doesn't get better I will probably do like the lady's posting and stop the warfarin on my own.

I began Yaz 10 days ago. This was my first time being on the birth control pill at all, and immediately at day 5, I experienced numbness in my left arm and leg. I saw my GP on day 7, and he wasn't concerned but said to stop taking it. Then on Day 8 I saw my gyno he switched me to Nuvaring, but I continued to have the same problem and developed a headache. He told me to take the nuvaring out and go to the ER. The ER determined that I didn't have a stroke, or a blood clot, which was the main concern. He said if it isn't better in a few days to make an appt with the neurologist. I went ahead and made one for next week because the numbness hasn't improved. I'm worried. I also read where it could be Vitamin B-12 deficiency so I'm going to get some Vitamins to take until then. I'm worried.
