Arthritis :: Humira Or Enbrel - Side Effects - Heart Failure?

Pills for RA are not working for me so rheumatologist is suggesting self-injected Humira or Enbrel. I read the side effects and they are scary. Especially it can cause heart failure even if you don't have a bad heart. I'd like to hear from any of you who are on these drugs and your experience with them.

Side Effects Of Kidney Stones Other Than Pain?

Hi everyone! I know that kidney stones are terribly painful and that there are various unpleasant treatments to get rid them. In other words, kidney stones are not something you would aim to acquire :-). But, my question is, other pain, what are the consequences of kidney stones? Are there any side effects?

Omeprazole :: Side Effects - Muscle Spasms And Pain?

Hi my name is Michele and i am wondering if there is anyone out there who has suffered as much as my grandmother...she has been in really bad shape here is what happened..My grandma was prescribed omeprazole back in July of 2008 for acid reflux...She seemed to be doing fine until the first part of december when she was getting muscle spasms so bad she could hardly walk and is still dealing with the muscle pain, pain in the middle of her chest and her right shoulder so bad that she has to stop what she is doing to catch her breath, this chest pain also came with a rash that was very itchy and dry between the breasts, she couldn't figure out what to do until it dawned on her that it must be these pills...she stopped taking them the beginning of december and is slowly getting better but is getting frustrated with the pain that she is still enduring...is there anyone who has hope for her who has taken this medication who had the same symptoms as her..we do not know what to do to make it easier!!

Atorvastatin Side Effects :: Back And Leg Pain / Breathless

Would like to ask about anybody's experiences of side effects of Atorvastatin (as oppose to Simvastatin) I think the latter is mostly prescribed because of it's low cost - the one I am on is rather more "up-market" and I particularly requested to change from Simvastatin, and was "lucky" because it is far more expensive and considered the better drug of the two. However, like so many of your experiences on this forum - I can relate to almost all of them. I am breathless to the extent where I have to sit on a kitchen stool to carve a joint or dish up a meal I have leg pains, back pains and every other B***** pain!

I also suffer with anxiety disorder which the side effects of statins do nothing for that!

Please let me know if any other patients have problems with these ghastly drugs - I have stopped mine now and will tell the Doc when I go next week! I have missed about a week's worth of pills, but have not yet noticed any difference! Does anybody know how long it takes for the drug to leave your system?

Menopause :: Binosto Side Effects - Lower Back Pain And Gas

Took Binosto (similar to Fosamax) for a few months beginning this past December. Was feeling well at that time. Since then, began experiencing terrible lower back pain, gas, lower left ab pain and have had a cough for a few weeks. I think that sums it up. Went to my doctor and told her everything. She checked me out. We decided to stop the Binosto thinking it could be causing these symptoms (don't know about the cough, though). She said to give it two weeks to get out of my system. It's been two weeks now and I still feel like crap! Could it take longer than two weeks to feel better? Maybe a month? Two? Do you think it could be the Binosto? I was feeling fine before starting it!

Sharp Nerve Pain In Groin Private Area - Vaginal Pain And Itching

Does anyone that has back problems have sharp nerve pain in their groin private area? I have had back problems for years and sometimes would get a sharp pain up my vagina. After a bad muscle strain in my back and using the elliptical machine I've had twitching and burning all over but also in my private area. Like around my **** it will twitch or vibrate, and then I will get the sharp shooting pain up my vagina and around my butt. I notice it more if I bend over that's why I thought it might be my back. I remember when the stabbing pain started I thought it was a female problem and my OBGYN said everything looked normal with my cervix and my paps have always been normal so she didn't know. She seems clueless.

Ramipril :: Side Effects

I am a 47 year old male (right weight for height) and reasonably fit running three times a week who has recently had to visit the doctor (first time in years) for severe neck pain caused by strenuous gardening work -so called leisure.

However my blood pressure was checked over the past few weeks and has found to be continuously very high ranging 190/115 to 150/90. My GP has decided to put me on ramipril starting with 2.5mg increasing to 5 mg and then 10mg over six weeks. On reading the comments about side effects I am really concerned which has now possibly increased my blood pressure further - really concerned on what to do, should I get a second opinion through my private medical before starting this treatment?

Oxytetracycline Bad Side Effects

I used the tablets for 5 months and a bit, should be taking it for 6 months but i decide to give into not taking them due to really bad side effects.

When i started, i took 2 TWICE a day for 4 months but, rashes appeared on my cheeks, completely red and skin dried also on my nose. I couldn't bear the suffering, i applied creams like E45 (made things worse for me) then i switched to sudocrem, applying it to my face where the rashes were. this seemed to help stop the rash from getting any worse. I went to see the doctor who said i should cut down on the tabs to 1 Twice a day so i finally started to heal from the rashes. I carried on using the tabs this way until the rashes appeared on my nose again, it was really bad.

To those who suffer from Eczema, be warned as this course may effect it, making it really bad. This is the reason why i have to quit from this 6 month course (am finishing on 5 and a bit months) As for acne, it helped clear it up nicely even old scars until a point where my skin could heal no further ( i stayed the same after the 3rd month) so hopefully, changes are permanent and my side effects will go away from stopping this course.
