Warmth symptoms and conditions

I am so glad to have found this website. Similarly to others, I thought that I was going crazy. I have been taking Yaz for 3 months, but I am stopping today! I have had many side effects including MOOD SWINGS, anxiety, snapping at people for no reason, spotting, decrease in sex drive, difficulty staying asleep, tightness/tingling in upper left arm, warmth in groin area, breast tenderness and nausea. If this pill causes such severe side effects for so many people, why doesn't the FDA remove it from the market? Argggggg

I just had my IUD removed this morning after reading many posts with similar problems as mine. I had my IUD in for about 5 months now. This month and the previous month, I had been experiencing extreme chest pains (directly in the middle of the my chest) with increased pain with breathing. From this pain, I had panic attacks (which I had never had in my life previously). No problems with my heart at all. Had to go by ambulance to ER and during the 5 hours, the pain went away... They only checked my heart, even though I never thought it was my heart, since it was in the middle of my chest... Movement increased pain, as well. I would feel rushes of warmth and heavy vomiting. After my 2nd episode, I began to realize that my previous episode was also during my menstrual period, which led me to believe that it may have something to do with the IUD. Since both my last two cycles were extremely light flows (barely anything really)... My hair was also falling out a lot after having the IUD.

I am a male 45 years and used simivastin another statin for three and a half years. Over this time i had severe muscle pain at time then about 4 months ago the muscle pain in my legs came on with a vengeance. It started in both thighs then calfs got very tight sore ankles feet and eventually got in to my arms. A deep achey sort of a pain and an irritability that casesa feeling like a toxin in my inside elbows that makes me want to stretch all the time. I feel very weak compared to my former self. I tried many things to alleviate the pain but nothing really took the pain away or even decreased it much. sometimes i would lay and groan in agony. I especially noticed that draghts and weather changes made me feel worse????. I stopped taking the simivastin 6 weeks ago. I have not had a lot of improvement but must admit thet i have been trying to push my self over this and probably done more damage. My ck levels are normal but my liver enzyme is increased a little. I started also to take q10 and L- carnitine along with magnesium. I might be improving a little each day but nothing definite. I saw a rheumatologist who has no diagnosis and isn't to committal on whether the statin is to blame. He put me on celebrex which has finally given me some relief. Can anyone relate to the worsening of symptoms with cooler changes in weather? and is there anything else i could do to hasten recovery? Thank you to all contributors on this board although it is the first time i have contributed this board has been a scores of help to me.

I have taken my 15th tablet this morning.

I already knew i was sensitive to new products, and if a small percentage of people have side effects, I'm likely to be one of them.

I browsed through the potential side effects on a my fact sheet and then put the paper away and focused on the positive effects i was looking forward to. I was keen for improvements of any sort!

Well here i am on day 15 and had to start googling to see if it is my imagination or something else.

I commend those women who stick it out for 3 months, but i just can't risk waiting around for an improvement or for it to settle.
I can handle the mid nausea that comes and goes, even the breast swelling, which has been quite extreme. I got a rash -acne like - on my face, initially my face became abnormally greasy too- like i had olive oil on my face! But the following is just not on. i can cope with physical issues, but not mental ones.

1. Moods- Depression and irritability - what a change- I am angry, nasty -want to leave my husband, say mean things to my young children. Don't care about my kids. No warmth. Feel overwhelmed by usual tasks like housework. Feel really negative about everything in my life. Feel sorry for myself for anything that is not positive or terrific. Don't feel motivated, don't care. Resent things that normally i would just go ahead and do.

Foggy brain- can't think clearly

My husband has clinical depression so this is not helpful- two of us being self centred can't work.

Anxiety- unbelievable. I'm like another person- I allow irrational negative thoughts take over. Each day is different, some worse than others.
I've been tempted even a week ago to ask for anti-depressants for anxiety and depression when i saw my doctor for something else. i thought I was going mad.

Fatigue,- some days i just don't want to do anything.

Sleep- a couple of unexplained nights of insomnia and really negative stressful dreams.

Probably other symptoms.

Everything described is an extreme and unbearable change in me, and this effect took place probably with 24 or 48 hours (I didn't keep a diary unfortunately, but the symptoms began almost immediately.

I wish it was a good experience but i am not willing to wait and see what my mental health will be like in a month or two. Not with young kids who need a mum. I just took a herbal laxative to hopefully flush out the Yaz I took this morning. No more for me.

I have been io Lisinopril for several months, and the only side effect I can say is a VERY ANNOYING rash on the inside of my upper thighs. It comes and goes and gets worse with warmth, like a heat rash. I also have now developed a rash on my butt that is looks to me like shingles. Very itchy, to the point of bleeding from scratching. I treated with diaper rash ointment and triple antibiotic ointment to not much improvement. Reently tried a jock itch ointment which seems to be working. Also took myself off Lisinopril 2 days ago, and things are getting better, but very slowly........

About 2 years ago, I had an injection of Kenalog in my knee. I was having knee pain and it was diagnosed as a miniscus problem. The doctor decided to see if the Kenalog relieved any pain. 15 minutes after I had the injection, while driving home, I felt warmth in my crotch area, then under my armpits, and then the itching started. I was having an allergic reaction.
By the time I got home, I went into full anaphylactic shock. My daughter called the paramedics and my blood pressure was 50/10.I barely had a pulse. I spent 31 hours in the ER and 5 days in the hospital. This kind of reaction is rare but very real. FYI.

I started Yasmin in the beginning of the month and from day one I started feeling lack of emotion, I felt like I could laugh and was generally happy but didn't feel upset when I should have been and couldn't feel love, warmth or excitement like I did before starting Yasmin. 2 weeks towards the end of the month I couldn't sleep properly and started having crazy dreams and in every dream somebody is trying to kill me or something happens in the dream where I feel like Im going to die. Totally disturbing as I have never had dreams actually Nightmares like this before. And the PMS has totally taken the cake... I am so angry, irrational, depressed, snappy, and emotional through the pms...its been terrible not only for me (not being able to control it) but for everybody close to me. Im thinking of going off it at the end of the month... but then again some ppl say its just adjusting and it might be better next month, but Im almost too scared to try.

I posted a question to anyone who used Tri-Sprintec before, but now it's been several months & I'd like to let everyone else know how it's worked for me! Tri-Sprintec has been the best birth control I've ever taken. I have been on other birth controls over the years, and up to this point Yasmin was good but I still had some side effects. I've just started my fourth month on Tri-Sprintec, and I feel more like myself again. I don't have any crazy mood swings, my skin has cleared up, my periods are regular again & my appetite has gone back to normal. I recommend Tri-Sprintec to anyone who is looking for an affordable & reliable birth control (it's offered at the Wal-Mart pharmacy for $9 a month if you don't have insurance.)

I'm on it for PMR. Been on prednisone about 6 mo. My main complaint is that my face, neck and stomach are really swollen. I take 10 mg. a day, but next time I go to the doctor I'm going to tell him to lower the dose or take me off completely. I started on 20 mg. a day and felt better but very hungry, so the doctor immediately put it down to 15 mg. Then 10. Ten does very little good to the symptoms, and only gives me the same side effects, and I'm still hungry all the time, especially later in the day. I also get very warm and flushed when I eat dinner, and the warmth endures until I'm asleep. Have to put the air conditioner down pretty low.

gives me warmth, dulls the pain, euporia, and calmness wonderful since ive for spinal injuries and bursitis, fibromyalgia,numerous car accidents.

I am 61. Had a stroke in 1993, and have been taking Lipitor (20) daily since. I did not initially have severe side effects, but did have some of the symptoms shown in these posts -- mostly dizziness and fatigue. I thought it was relative to the stroke. In the 12 months, I have had more symptoms. Tingling feet and hands. My feet feel "cold" all the time, warmth doesn't help. I have a chronic ache in my right, low back that gets worse when I work. My dizziness is more intense, and I think I'm losing strength in my hands. I have ringing / buzzing in my left ear. My skin is very sensitive, and I have bouts of severe itchiness. All of this information was given to my doctor, but he did not advise to stop taking Lipitor. I don't like taking drugs, but my concern is the side effects of not taking Lipitor, except the obvious one of controlling my cholesterol levels. Beyond that, are there any serious problem just stopping this drug?
