1664023 tn?1302961166 I have recently started taking Lyrica for Diabetic Neuropathy, I am on 300mg/day. I am wondering if anyone else that takes this experiences stiff joints or achy muscles??
Avatar n tn Over time, losing weight through going like a bee all day long. Feeling of elation I guess I would call it. Can Lyrica cause enlarged spleen and does enlarged spleen bulge when eating. I was put on Lyrica for Neuropathies, coincidentally, when all my gastric issues began. Bowel change, Mucous, fast heart rate when eating causing me to fall asleep suddenly, and lately a bulge in my left side, WAY worse when eating. See my post under Digestive Disorders and Gastroenterology.
Avatar f tn Aside from kidney issues, other differentials include urinary tract infection and musculoskeletal conditions. Direct clinical examination and diagnostics such as blood and urine tests and imaging tests like ultrasound will help determine the underlying cause. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn Dark urine can also accompany rhabdomyolysis. From what I see on line, creatinine kinase is what your doctor should have tested and if it is elevated, the drug should be discontinued.
1798872 tn?1346164585 In the ER they ran blood work,ekg and urine sample,the doc leaned over my bed and said you had a heart attack.I went to a room and was released 2 days later and told to follow up with my pcp.I truely beleive i was released early because of my ins.. Thank you for your time.
Avatar f tn Vytorin does a remarkable job of reducing your Cholesterol, much better than Zocor (Simvastatin) alone. However, Zetia doesn't seem to add anything to the picture as far as preventing heart disease is concened. But read this about Zocor: -"Zocor Users Not Warned of Risks: The FDA's June 2011 safety alert is the most serious of many warnings regarding Zocor and associated risks of myopathy and rhabdomyolysis. Zocor manufacturer Merck & Co.
Avatar f tn The muscle weakness you were experiencing definitely seems like it was caused by the Vytorin due to the weakness/fatigue resolving after stopping the Vytorin. ALS and Rhabdomyolysis are two completely different disease states but can be mistaken for one another due to the similar presentation of symptoms of muscle fatigue and weakness.
Avatar n tn i woke up yesterday and both my calves were bruised.there was no reason for it.i had high blood pressure and was given lysinopril after 3 months the pressure was normal again so i stopped the medication. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/518484'>black and blue elbows</a>.
Avatar n tn I am obviously not in a position to give a diagnosis in this forum, but I imagine that it is highly unlikely that you have rhabdomyolysis if you currently feel well, have no significant muscle discomfort, and have normal-appearing urine. Take care.
Avatar m tn This was an excellent choice, as it helps with my anxiety, I use less clonazepam and I feel less drowsy. Lyrica did give me blurred vision and extra paranoia at the start, and that was indeed awful for the first couple weeks as I upped my dosage! After the initial troubles, I found that it really was better than gabapentin for me now. I have not gained weight, but remain the same weight I call my meds weight. I just try to remain active and not pig out.
Avatar n tn Rhabdomyolysis, kidney problems so that I ultimately had to stop them, but knee burning/pain while walking wasn't one of them.
Avatar n tn heyy sterling im 16 years old and i went through a thinig called jumpstrectch for baseball conditioning and i was diasgosed with the same thing ( rhabdomiolisis ) and my CPK got up to 152,235 the doctors dont no how i survived or anythigni live in struthers ohio ( youngstown ) and i had to go to 3 different hospitals starting and ST.
Avatar f tn My Ck levels have been at a 290-400 range for about 2 months and my RNP blood exams have come back positive, I am not allowed to play soccer due to pain in my quadriceps while running, sprinting mostly, also breathing has become more difficult as well.
712802 tn?1274645485 Cymbalta has also had reports of causeing suicidal thoughts and on a molecular leval has a lot of simularities with lyrica so be catreful and stay in close contact with your doctor and us. I take lyrica 150Mg 3x per day and have never had that side effect but I keep a close watch. I also take an antidepresant called trazodone whitch is an older drug but one that is very easy to get along with. Best of luck and God bless.
Avatar m tn My Dr was going to prescribe me lyrica for shingles pain but I was hesitant and refused at the time. I did some research on it when I got home and actually found that lyrica is approved in eroupe for anxiety. I also read reviews of people taking it for other things and found that it helped with their anxiety. Glad to know it is working for you. What dosage are you on?Where your prescribed the lyrcia for anxiety or something else? Hope it continues to help you.
Avatar f tn So i got diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis and im in the hospital and i just masturbated in the bathroom. Every morning i get a urine and blood test, when testing my urine they check for myoglobin and check my red blood cell count. My question is if i pee about 3-4 times an hour like i do now will the sperm show up in my urine test tomorrow and if so is there anything they test for that will be off enough to where they question it? And if so should i tell them i masturbated?
394774 tn?1235070839 You can get addicted to lyrica, it is a controlled substance. but if they work for you and take away the pain and you know you are gonna have to take them the rest of your life, who care.
Avatar n tn I am in the same position with my husband. He is taking Lyrica and we would like to try having our first child. I know this was two years ago, but did your husband end up going off the Lyrica before you conceived?
Avatar f tn Ive been on lyrica and nuvigil fro fibro pain and fatigue, and just found out I'm pregnant. I'm just wondering if anyone else has taken either one of those while pregnant. I've stopped them for i was on only 50 mg of lyrica and about 100 of nuvigil. but I'm still worried, and i feel like I've been hit by a train once again, the pain is almost unbearable, i know my doc personally, have an appt. with him for the 12th.
483733 tn?1326798446 I am taking 300 mg of Lyrica a day. I am having heavy swelling in my hands, feet and ankles and doctor put me on Lasix. It is helping a bit but still uncomfortable and pain. I've put a lot of weight on and am also having bad memory problems (can't find my words) and blurry vision. Is there anything that can be done that doesn't require me to get off of Lyrica? it really helps my pain. If I have to get off of it what is the best way to do so?
