I am 23 years old and I have been diagnosed by a rheumatologist with fibromyalgia. The drugs he prescribed are helping, but I still have pain in all of my muscles. My other symptoms include muscle weakness, difficulty sleeping, fatigue, dizziness, and IBS with constipation. The constipation is even worse with the meds.

On September 1 of ’08 (yes, labor day) I had two ovarian cysts removed. Now I have more, and I am being put on meds to control them. Could the surgery I had before effect my chances of having children later?

I’ve never wanted to go on drugs (anti-depressants/anxiety meds) but I’ve realized that therapy (talking to a psychiatrist) is uncomfortable for me and seems to make my problems appear worse. I know most of you aren’t doctors but I’m just curious if you think I do have symptoms that might indicate an anxiety disorder.
Background: I am a 20 yr old (female) college student studying chemistry. In 2009 my dog died (it affected me horribly), this past August my grandfather (he was like a father to me), in September my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer (but she overcame it and is okay now).
My symptoms mainly include:
- Sleeping problems. In the last 6months+ I have dreams EVERY NIGHT (I remember them all) and I wake up exhausted, so I usually sleep for 9+ hours to overcompensate for the exhaustion I feel.
- Panic attacks. I feel normal panic attacks before a test, but sometimes I get panic attacks in normal, non-panicky situations where I should not be as panicked as I feel.
- Stomach problems. (maybe unrelated) I have bad intestinal problems, and horrible acid reflux.
- Horrible mood shifts, low tolerance for stupidity, not a lot of patience for others. I’m VERY close with my mother and lately all I’ve done is get irritated with her for stupid reasons. (I thought for a little while that this was due to hormone changes from being on The Pill but now I’m not sure..)
- Sadness. If something triggers me, I will get really upset and emotional INSTANTLY. It could be anything (usually something stupid) and then I start thinking about everything sad (mainly family death) and I can’t stop crying.

Sorry for such a long question, hoping someone can help.
Thank you
- Also, general anxiety/panic. Before work every morning for 6 weeks I would wake up scared to go to work and I’d worry I’m going to do something wrong. I’m better now because I wake up excited for work, but this happens with lots of other things as well. Sometimes I decide not to go to fun events/activities because I worry about what could happen/something I might say wrong/do wrong.

I was looking for anyone else out there that has had something liks this happen. My doctor has put me on premarin and started my period a week later. After taking the premarin for almost a month days I began taking the prometrium and like clockwork after a week my period started. I went to the doctor mainly because my period was all out of wack and now I’m bleeding so much with clots I don’t know what to do with myself. I was just wondering if I am the only one that is having these effects or is there anyone else out there? Also I told the doctor at the beginning that me and my husband wanted to have children and didn’t know how these meds are helping. Thanks you guys for reading!
my last period started 9/17-9/25 and now it just started back at 10/7

I have been having my period every 2 weeks for the past 2 months. I am not stressed out. Life is normal. In fact a little better than normal lately (except for this thing). Not on any meds. I have always been like clockwork. Guaranteed every 28 days. The only thing new is that I lost 21 lb. doing weight watchers for 4 months now. Only have 5-10 more to go

I dont have health insurance so going to the doctor is out unless its an emergency.
I had a tubal ligation 8 years ago.

The meds are Solodyn, Cariton-D, Birth control pills (plus topical skin meds Differin and Duac). Any idea which one of these is causes me to not be able to have lubricated sex?
also please say why you think it is something in particular. do you have experience with ? thanks so much for your help!

My husband seems to have a low sex drive. He is on the following medications Metoprolol 50mg, Remeron 30mg and 0.5 mg of xanax 2 times a day could any of these meds have an effect on his sex drive?

My mother had a hysterectomy a while ago and the doctors prescribed her a high dosage ( 50,000IU) of vitamin D and she suffering from some side effects and i was wondering whats going on? What can she do to get off of these meds? Does anybody else suffer from this?

I have Fibromyalgia and have been on a roller coaster ride of prescription drugs. I’m sick of it. It’s been a couple years, and I’m still not feeling any better. I still hurt like H**L, but I really am sick of being treated like a guinea pig!!! I’m ready to try some natural remedies. I take Elavil for the psychological aspects of the disorder. I don’t want to be one of those people who says, "oh I feel fine" and then quits the meds, but I don’t want to be reliant on any drugs.

iam starting clomid on day three of my cycle then my doctor want me start the estradiol on what day i don’t know then my doctor want me to start the prometrium on what day ? i forgot to ask my doctor about what day iam supposed to start after i get done with the clomid do you guys have a experience with any of these meds ?

This sounds weird but my forearm has been having what I call a hot flash every now and then for the past month. Basically, it feels like someone is taking a hair dryer on high heat and waving it right on my forearm then it goes away just like that. It lasts maybe a second or two. It happens right below my elbow on the inner side of my forearm. I am not on any meds or anything and I am only 24. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.
