Lymph node symptoms and conditions

After 3 days of Levaquin at one 500 mg pill per day for a sinus infection and swollen lymph node, I suffered severe pain in the calf muscles of both legs and am only able to walk short distances, if at all. This started yesterday and I have stopped the drug, am icing my calfs, relying on friends to help me, and praying that there has been no permanent damage.

Hello,
I am 23 years old and I have been on Jasmin for 8 days now. After the seventh day of using the pill, my right breast became very swollen and on the outside I have 3 lumps which i never had prior to the pill. Aside from that, under my right arm I got a swollen ball (seems to be a lymph node) and a sore right arm, which I never had before.( I am always examining my breasts and under arms on a regular basis). Therefore, I went to the doctor and they told me that is because of the hormones and its my choice whether I stop the pill or not. Apparently if you stop the pill without finishing the pack you will have a messed up period for a few months. I believe that this pill might work for some people but at the same time doctors should be more careful with what they are prescribing.

I first started to take Flowmax about three years ago and took it for about a year. I had most of the symptoms mentioned but also had swelling of one of my lymph nodes in the neck, also a nodule appeared next to one of my testicles (which I presume was another lymph node as it has now disappeared) , severe sore throat which had me off work for nearly a month. Together with all the other symptoms I thought I was on my way out! - Then I had reason to go away for a long weekend and forgot to take the Flowmax with me and most of the Symptoms disappeared!! It was only at this stage that I actually looked at the side affects of the drug on the packaging did I realize what I had put myself through. Never again will I take for granted that medicine "will do me good" I harsh lesson. My neck gland is still the size of a golf ball, and now through ultrasound they have found nodules in my thyroid gland. Is this all part of the same thing I ask myself? (ps I did not get the painful erection which was more or less the only one I did not get)

Back in Novemeber 2007 my wife was prescribed Bactrim for Ance. About 6 days into taking the drug a rash broke out all over her body.

A lymph node in the back of her head on the right side swelled. She had stiffness in neck, nausea, cold sweats, irregular bleeding. Just horrible! I researched the side affects and found sites like this on with people having similar reactions. I immediately told my wife to get off Bactrim.

1 to 2 days later her lymph node was normal. It took weeks for the rash to completely go away. Since this
happened it seems as though my wife's immune system has not been the same. She had severe sinusitis, She's has a cold now. Still has fatigue. Bouts with headaches. Strange stuff. Not sure if it is related.

I don't recommend this drug to anyone. Whatever your ailment is there are alternatives.

I notcied while taking this I got a sore lymph node in my groin. Anyone else had that happen?

I took this s h i t doxycycline, some incompetant doctor said it would be a good secondary antibiotic for my tooth infection that was giving me an ear infection and my lymph node was sore.. so I took this c r a p only twice and feel sick to my stomach shortly after. I stopped after 2. Well I still am taking the amoxicillan. Its been 2 days since I took the doxy and I feel weak and tired and sick to my stomach still. What the hell is going on?

5 hr after first dose, vomiting, then severe chills, fever, sweats,104 degree fever ACHES, took 2 more doses before I figured out to discontinue. Lasted 6 days, lost the skin in my mouth and gained an oversize lymph node near anus. Thought it was the flu, so a week later tried a dose, and it all came back again. This time only lasted 3 days, still sore and tired. Don't take this stuff, I never got a rash, but believe I nearly died.

i took ONE pill, that night i started getting severe stomach pains, then the next day my lymph node was extremely swollen an dmy throat hurt i was also getting chills all day! then i started getting a fever and it keeps breaking and coming back im assuming that im a rare case of an extreme allergic reaction but ive also never been allergic to anything before!!! i didnt even think that it could have caused it but then i read the pamphlet and the side effects in clinical studies and there are even worse symptoms that could occur! be careful

I am 35, was in good health, ate right etc. In October of 04, I took levaquin for a bacterial infection that had caused swollen lymph nodes. The infection returned and I was given another round of levaquin after Thankgiving. Around the holiday season, my feet and legs starting hurting (feet hurt, leg muscles ached), left wrist and fingers started hurting, and recently my knees and thigh muscles have begun to hurt. I have been to several doctors, including an infectious disease doctor who ran scores of tests (everything came back negative). He is treating me for TB even though the tests came back negative (a biopsied lymph node indicated an infection). He thinks it is a mycobacterial infection. When I can across this site about levaquin, it was like an epiphany - some here decribed my symptoms to a T. I called my doctor but he said these symptoms were not from levaquin. He wants to put me in steroids for a week to see if that helps the pain. I am able to go to work and function, but running and moving around pain free are not options now. I am ready to return to normal.

Anyone have suggestions for these symptoms? How long does it take for these effects to dissipate? If the pain would go away, I'd be back to normal. This has been going on for a few months now, but I haven't taken levaquin in 1.5 months.

Help!

I've been on Yasmin for 4 months.

I had been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for about 3 months, to give my body some time to get used to it before I got married, and about a week after wedding I had to go to the ER because I was bleeding non-stop, and passing clots of blood the size of a dollar coin. This had been happening for over a week! The ER couldn't find anything, so they called it "Abnormal Uterine Bleeding," and sent me to the Gyn. *Immediately* after quitting Ortho Tri, I had no more clots passed.

My Gyn got me started on Yasmin, and during the same visit, located a fibroid tumor on my cervix. We completely believe this was caused by Ortho Tri, because of the estrogen. My mother had them, as well, and they grew because of the estrogen. Mine is in the way of my birth canal, so when I have children, I may have to either have it removed or have a C-section, if it continues to grow.

I thought I was fine on Yasmin...my periods have been normal...until my last one, which was a week early and lasted for 2 whole weeks.

I've also noticed a lump in my right breast several weeks ago. It feels like a lymph node, it moves a bit, but it is also tender and sore. I have gone up a size or 2 in bra cup size, as well. This lump has me worried, but not as worried as I have been, now that I found this site. I am going to the doctor soon.

I've had major problems with Urinary Tract Infections, too, but that could be because I'm a newlywed, and was a virgin until my wedding night. Still, I clean up, and I wash like crazy, and I still get them. I take cranberry pills, and drink water...they still come.

The WORST is my MOOD SWINGS! I have been psycho woman lately! I truly cannot control my mood swings - it's as if I am a different person!!! I hate myself when I am in the midst of them, and I cannot stop! This is so not me! I argue about the smallest thing, I scream and get viscious. This is NOT me!

I'm going to find out about the Patch, and if that doesn't work, then nothing. My life, my happiness, my husband's happiness, is NOT worth the pain that these pills put me through.

Has anyone else had the breast lumps???
