The Terrifying Side Effects of Prescription Drugs - Articles

Trina

I've never experienced any of those side effects, but had a scary adventure earlier this week due to a prescription drug. On April 4th I had a hysterectomy. My GYN wanted to prescribe narcotic pain killers, but I refused because they make me sicker than a dog with nausea, vomitting and dry heaves. Instead, she prescribed 800mg Motrin. It worked great for the pain, but on Monday I began experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath. My DH took me to the ER. They ran all kinds of tests, primarily concerned of an embolism, which is a possible complication after surgery. Turned out to be severe heartburn caused by the prescription Motrin. I've never had heartburn like that before! My doctor said it's not unusual, but they are cautious just in case it is a blood clot. I'm now on OTC extra strength Tylenol. It's not working quite as well to kill to pain, but it's bearable.

Yulia it has to be sad that in your world you are living in so much fear. Has anyone told you that you are going to die regaurdless of what you do. You could get hit by a truck walking out in the road.
Nothing is going to create immortality hun.
Unless you live in a bubble life is going to happen. It's called the cycle of life.

I'm so sorry you had to have the surgery .

with both of my c-sections I refused any further pain meds as soon as I was in my room.

I'd rather call it awareness, hun

If someone is willing to inject her child with neuro-toxins and diseases in order to prevent a small chance of a disease that isn't deadly even IF you get it or feeds her child with antibiotics (that kill all gut flora…the foundation of health) “just in case”, to prevent a possible ear infection after a cold THAT would be my example of FEAR.

A hysterectomy was definitely necessary. TMI, but I bled so much during my last period that I needed a blood transfusion.

I only took OTC Motrin after both my c-sections.

Yulia, I'm surprised your babies were delivered via c-section, since you're so gung ho against meds and medical intervention, etc.. I assume your c-sections were medically necessary, such as mine.

ask your son 20 years from now if he wishes you'd be more aware of some things back when he was born

OK, this is getting really old. Why can't you "agree to disagree" and leave it at that? There is no point in pushing this issue any further.

yulia

well, why can't she leave her ugly sneaky comments in all my posts to herself??? that is something that *really* grows old.

she calls awareness fear. so i was wondering what in her brilliant dictionary would be the definition for amputating a body part in order to prevent 0.01% of some treatable problems???
