Webmd symptoms and conditions

I too have been experiencing the same side effects listed by most of you. I have also been seeing a gastroenterologist for about 9 months now because of stomach issues. All symptoms point to gallbladder disease but the tests come back normal. I called my gyne today and they seem unconcerned with what I have told them and advised me to continue to take my pills until my annual visit in October. I'm done with this pack on Saturday and am thinking of going sans pills for the next month until my appt. Any advice on what pill I should switch to when I do see my dr.?

I am getting mine removed FRIDAY!! And Friday can't come soon enough. I am kinda bummed tho for having to go back on the pill but I can't hack this ANY LONGER!!! One of my friends works for a GP and I went to him because of some of my side effects. The flu like symptoms minus having the flu (had it for at least 2 to 3 mos now) NO sex drive (causing trouble with my marriage. Hubby is taking it WAY to personal), swelling in my hands, feet, legs, and face. (my face will feel flush and BAM I'm swollen!!) VERY BAD MOOD SWINGS!!! Very Bad isn't the word for it!! There are no words to explain my moods!! ANYHOW..... I sent this to my friend to read and she pulled it up at work. Well the GP said that this isn't a reliable place to go for information on the side effects. "There are NO positive side effects to anything." Which is true BUT he seems to think going to Web MD or some sight like that is more reliable than here. And that this sight shouldn't scare me and he wouldn't urge me to have it removed after reading this. (OH YEAH I forgot to mention joint pain, I have HORRIBLE joint pain in my hands, wrists, elbows, knees, ankles, and feet. The worst of it is in my wrists and elbows) Back to what I was saying. To that (this sight not being reliable) I say go to Web MD and post there too! I pray that I can get back to me after this comes out!! I hope it don't take too long either! I MISS the old me and HATE the new me!! But FRIDAY HURRY UP AND GET HERE. And for anyone who has had it removed........ anything I should be repaired for??? Thanks for your time!

I have taken it for 2 days. Have had no adverse physical reaction to the drug. I could actually feel it work to get rid of the infection in my nose after only a few hours of taking the first dose.

After taking the first dose I decided to look up the side effects on the web. Found the list disturbing and got a bit worried about it. Plowed ahead though and decided to take dose number 2. Got anxiety attack after taking second dose, pretty sure not the drug, but me worrying about it, but who can know for sure.

Read the posts on this forum and I am now freaking out about this drug and have decided not to take anymore. My anxiety has saved me before so I will chalk this up as another reason to love my anxiety.

I was prescribed 42 pills (20 days) of 10 mg Prednisone which I am to take beginning with 4 pills for four days and steadily decreasing every four days down to four 1/2 pill the last four days. I took my first dose yesterday and was told to drink lots of water. I do not wish to gain weight nor have a moon face. My doctor does not feel this will affect me in that way, but may have water retention (swelling). I am 73, and this regiment of Prednisone was prescribed to decrease inflammation due to a possible siatic nerve problem, which is causing extreme pain in my left leg. The pain is excruciating when I get up in the morning but eases down by mid morning with some pain all day and some nights if I move just the wrong way.Does anyone have a suggestion for the best foods to eat and what to avoid? I read that grapefruit juice may be beneficial.

Dryness, itching, burning, no sex drive at all! I thought I had some crazy disease. I searched WebMD about a thousand times trying to find out what I had. The thought of sex made me irritated. Sometimes I felt so guilty for being a bad wife and bitchy mother. It felt like razor blades were scratching every time I wiped down there. I have only been on the NR for about 4 months. The last two months every day the itching and burning was getting worse and I was getting angry when my husband would want to have sex (we were only having sex like every 10 days to two weeks maybe and it was just for him). I was just about to call the Dr. on Monday morning when I found this web site Sunday evening. It was God sent for sure. I took the ring out Sunday afternoon and with in hours there was a difference. My husband even committed on it Sunday night that I was in a better mood and the itching has almost stopped. By Monday morning I felt better and I sure was in a better mood towards my kids. Monday evening my husband again said I was in such a better mood and the burning was gone. I could wipe again instead of pat. I still did not want to have sex (I think more because I am still sore down there), but I was not disgusted like I had been.
Not sure what I am going to do for BC. I think my husband would rather wear a condom then have me back on the ring.

Here is a new reaction the ER doctor is attributing to my taking Lsinopril. I complaineed previously about weight gain, tired ness etc. but after my dose yesterday at 5:30 PM I was sitting embroidering and watching TV. At about 9:30 the left side of my tongue began to swell...it continued until I could not swallow, talking was nearly impossible. Checked on WebMD regarding sweeling of the tongue! Yikes, bad news. I have never been rushed into the ER so fast as I was at 10:30 last night. When I was stabilized the doc explained that you could take this drug as I had for 2 years or more and suddenly suffer this allergic reaction. Apparently it is a 1 in 1000 reaction BUT what if I was on the plane to Hawaii when it happened???? Doctor on board? Has anyone else heard of this? Stacie

I am a 49 year old female. I started taking Singulair for grass allergies. Went to the DR. for a physical and blood work came back for elevated Liver Enzyems. According to WebMD this is a common side of effect of this drug. The other things that was happening was odd pains in my head. Not headache but sharp pains on the sides of my head. This too is a side effect of this drug. I stopped the drug and everything went back to normal.

as of now...no side effects...would like to know what Flaglyl is used for????
