pravachol

Avatar n tn does muscle problems from taking the generic pravachol include a burning feeling in the knees which causes pain when walking or bending knees?
Avatar n tn never came back), resurgence of the peripheral neuropathy which I first got years ago from a year on Pravachol (statin) all the way up to my knees, worsening of my lung disease (which I discovered started with the Pravachol, stopped when I was off statins, and grew again when I went back on) AND wildly erratic heartbeats and tachycardia (all the way up to 140 beats per minute).
Avatar m tn No other symptoms what so ever. Find it hard to loose weight even I try, take toprol and pravachol, was on Z-pack for strep throat when CT was done. Someone?
Avatar f tn My psychiatrist has me on Lamictal, Effexor, Neurontin, Wellbutrin, and Nuvigil. From my PCP I take Pravachol and Lisinopril. Is it safe to take all these together? All answers are appreciated.
Avatar n tn My blood preasure has been high since before I found out I was a diabetic. He also has me on pravachol. My cholestrol was high before I was told I was a diabetic. It has read the same since I have been on this drug. Would it be wiser to change either of the drugs or to add plavix? I have been on pravachol for at least 6 years and diabetic only two. Another area I have noticed in your forum, is the effect of caffine on blood sugars.
Avatar n tn I take prevacid for heartburn and pravachol for high cholesterol; also using mupirocin ointment since I had sinus surgery in September.
Avatar n tn Hi...I am on numerous meds...heart(tachycardia arrythmia)-ATENOLOL; High Cholesterol-CRESTOR; Hernia-PRAVACHOL; Fibromyalgia & Osteo-Arthrytis-KETOROLAC; water retention-LASIX; Sinus-FLONASE; Dysrythmia-ATIVAN. I have also been on EFFEXOR for 5 years for severe depression. My dosage has been increased twice in the past month--I now take 187.5 mg...I woke up at about 12 midnight last Sunday and I have no recall of the past 4 days; however, I apparently withdrew $7000.
Avatar n tn I was on medication in and out as I develop side effects to the statin drugs. I was on Lipitor, then on Pravachol and lastly on Crestor. None of them had problems loweting the Choesterol levels, but muscle and joint pain even with Vit D and Co Q10 as prescribed my physician. However, I came off crestor yesterday as I started feeling Dizzy. I am normally a "healthy", active energetic person. Now my doc thinks we should try Zetia which is in a different family of drugs.
Avatar n tn however, I have high blood pressure (norvasc), osteopena (sp) and high cholesteral (pravachol). I really don't want to take fossamax or any more drugs than necessary, but also do not want a recurrence of breast cancer. Is there a clinical study and shows femara vs placebo rather than femara vs tamoifen (novartis trial)? What is the general recommendation? Can you stop femara if side effects become a quality of life issue? Thank you.
Avatar f tn 9% with pravastatin (Pravachol), 14.9% with atorvastatin (Lipitor), and 18.2% with simvastatin (Zocor). And you have been on both atorvastatin (Lipitor) and pravastatin (Pravachol). Once you stopped taking statin, the pain and aches should resolve. However, for some patients, it may take up to 2 months for symptom resolution.
Avatar m tn I do have in my family some cases of high cholesterol, all temporary and diagnosed as stress related cases. Her daily diet did not changed, she eats well (meat without fat, vegetables, fruits) as I said, she is very active(she plays all day). The only difference about her is that she has swollen eyes when she wakes up or after crying(more then normal). Doctors said that is not a symptom and that she is in good health. The same doctors were wrong before so...
Avatar n tn My understanding is that the statins with the greatest LDL reducing effect are Crestor, Lipitor, Zocor, and Pravachol, in that order. I don’t mention Leschol and Mevacor since they appear to be rarely used since recently due to the aforementioned being more powerful. Do we have any available solid data on the effects of the various individual statins other than LDL reduction? For example, do we know which ones raise HDL the most? What about effects on particle size or Lp(a), etc.
Avatar n tn Over the past 12 years or so I have taken Lipitor, Pravachol and, when 200mg total Cholesterol wasn't good enough anymore, Vytorin, which brought it down to 160. But, at the end of all that about two years ago I wound up in the ER with severe kidney problems. The doctors said, don't worry about it, just muscle pains and sent me home.
Avatar f tn I've always had self image issues, even struggled with an eating disorder. And now that I'm pregnant (and single) i feel so unattractive and disgusted with my body, even down to the fact i have hair on my legs. Im 26 weeks 3 days and i feel like everyday i get grosser. I don't have stretch marks or the line on my tummy or anything so i feel like I'm just being self destructive but does anyone else feel like this or know how to help?
Avatar f tn Anyone else struggling with their body image with their pregnancy? I have always been conscious with my weight. And since getting pregnant i am hating my cleaner way of eating. I am still trying to do one salad a day along with complex carbs but my sweet tooth is killing me. I am 12w 3D and gained approx 6.5lbs so far. Clothes are getting tight in my hips and thighs too. I keep telling myself I am doing good,but it it's a big mental struggle too...I keep seeing posts of little weight gain..
Avatar f tn You are overreacting. I always had body image problems but now that I'm pregnant I dont really care any more. I'm hoping your husband is not with you only for your looks. I mean I'd course you don't want to let your self go and look like a slob but shouldn't be too concerned about him watching porn. I know my husband masturbates and so do I. Its normal. Now he is afraid that baby might just come out if we do it lol. Unless he is a porn addict I dont see a problem with it.
Avatar f tn To add some information, about 6 years ago, a had a macular pucker (which resolved spontaneously), and the image I saw from the pucker looked similar to this image, in fact I fully expected my ophthalmologist to say I had another one. Also, about 10-15 years ago I had an MRI that showed I had a slightly enlarged pituitary gland. Could pressure from the gland on my optic nerve cause this symptom?
Avatar f tn My son has a rare medical disorder and I don't know to much about it. I am looking for any info I can get. I am not sure of the medical term that it is called, but one docter called my son a "Mirror Image Child." I know that this means that his internal organs are on the opposite side of the body than what they should be. Example: Your heart is on the left side of the body and his is on the right same with the stomach and intestins.
712314 tn?1303098090 No, it is not likely that you've gained 20 pounds. You labelled your post correctly: "body image". Feeling big is a part of your eating disorder. First of all, congratulations on making it through the holidays without purging or restricting! Give yourself a pat on the back! What I would suggest you do now is get ongoing support to strengthen your recovery.
Avatar m tn I saw ghost image on every object I see. The ghost image disappear when I close/lower my eyelid until some openings... May I know what's wrong with me? Any advices?
579258 tn?1250649343 I used to have horrible body image. I was 5 foot 7 150lbs and wore a 36DD bra from 6th grade (Age 10) on. My friends always said I was lucky, but I got picked up on by way older guys & it always made me very uncomfortable, I even got picked up on by a teacher my freshman year of high school ( he told me I needed a man to keep me warm) YUCK!! I always wore Big T-shirts and flannel pants. Never anything that brought any attention to my figure. I wanted people to see me, not my boobs.
