menopause side effects
I had that, too. Took me forever to get it together after my hysterectomy and still have trouble sleeping even 2-1/2 years later. Did find that a super high B-complex vitamin and proper feeding times help a lot, though.
They'll also show you the effects of changes...
on the properties on just the Appearance tab itself too ... i.e., if you change anything under Windows and buttons, Color scheme, or Font size, as well.
Has anyone experienced side effects from Nexium?
I was placed on Nexium after a normal EGD and colonoscpy in January due to persistent acid reflux (which caused a little esophagitis) and I had nausea. I had just been diagnosed a couple weeks prior to that with benign paroxsymal positional vertigo which causes nausea & vertigo. The vertigo resolved after a couple Epley maneuvers but the daily nausea remained until recently. All the anti-nausea meds made me too sleepy to work/function but my pain med I am on for chronic back pain ironically would stop the nausea; however, I had no appetite and was SO sick feeling all the time still. I had to force myself to eat as it continued to worsen and I continued to lose weight.
My family doctor ran extensive lab work on me, CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis, and also ultrasound, all of which were normal or showing only minor benign findings. He was at a loss for the cause of my symptoms. We tried Zelnorm which did not help. He tried me on Remeron but one pill knocked me out for 20 hours straight!
I had not only the nausea, lack of appetite, weight losss, but chills, night sweats, and an overall feeling of being SO sick and exhausted to the point that I have done nothing but shower, dress and work each day for the past three months! I felt desperate for help/relief!
Recently while laying and resting in bed, I thought about the meds I am on and (had already stopped the pain med thinking that may be the cause which is wasn't) thought about the Nexium I just started in January and did a search on the net and my first hit showed me a whole list of "rare side effects" and every symptom I have is included in that list!
I know this med works great for some but I just want others to be aware of the many side effects any med can cause as I would hate to see anyone go through what I have gone through these past few months. My family, friends, and I really felt I was going to die. That is how bad I looked and felt!
Another thing that I realized - I had been taking Prilosec OTC for close to two years prior to starting the Nexium and my GI doc told me that is a form of Nexium but not as strong. Also, for close to the past two years, I have been complaining of always feeling SO fatigued and it just gradually kept worsening and I was just told it is a part of getting older. I didn't believe this totally as I just was not feeling real well either. Now, I know why!
Obviously, I have stopped the Nexium and I will certainly be letting my doctor know what I have learned. If you are interested, here is the link where I found the info I mentioned above - maybe it will help someone else:
adderall has less side effects that amoxicillin
it's all a stigma when it comes to ADHD meds. Parents clutch their chest in horror when you prescribe meds for ADHD, but then demand amoxicillin for every sniffle.
I had to stop taking Nexium because of side effects. I take
Prilosec and it works fine for me.
It depends. The side effects can go either way - weight gain, weight *loss*... sm
Or no weight change at all, but maybe some other unpleasant side effect. Or you might have only mild side effects, or none at all and it's like a miracle cure for you. ;o) Everyone is so different, you never know until you try a med. for yourself.
I came from low level neighborhood. I know the effects low level people have on a child's
mind. I fought very hard to get out of there. If you think narrow-minded high-horse thinking people are the only ones who are making trailer park comments, YOU ARE DEAD WRONG. I know white trash people who live for the weekend to get drunk and party and make just enough to get by. I am educated in the "real world" and whether you like it or not, the "real world" doesn't want to be anywhere near a trailer park for real or imagined reasons and does ostracize trailer park people along with ghetto people and section 8 people. Crime, drugs, do come from low income housing. BTW, people are outraged at black-on-black ghetto crime. That does not happen in higher working class black neighborhoods. Same deal with white trash people. Low class white people get drunk fight and end up in jail. If you read the newspaper or watch it on TV over the weekend, you know what I am talking about. Crime, drugs, etc is rarely an ONGOING problem in upper class neighborhoods because most of these people have goals for the future. Lower class neighborhoods and low class people are what they are because that's what the people in the neighborhoods settle for.
Thank you for your prayers.
We've never even actually met him in person, but he is my husbands best friend's only sibling and my husband's friend was going through such a horrible time waiting and wondering that he couldn't even go to work. We only wish everybody could have good news.
Thanks again.
Thanks, I need all the prayers I can
get! LOL.
asking for prayers
I just learned that my boss's daugher-in-law and grand-daughter were involved in a horrendous car accident. The DIL suffered many fractured bones, on top of a pre-existing MS condition. However, the grand-daughter may die, and even if she survives she will likely have severe brain damage.
Can those of who you believe in a high power keep this family in your thoughts and prayers?
PRAYERS
Just e-mailed your request to my church who has a prayer group that meets everyday and prays for the requests that are sent in. Have also sent a few of my own on the way. Hope all works out.

My prayers are with those who are dealing
with Hurricane Wilma. I'm catching bits and pieces on TV and, living in the midwest, I can't imagine the fear that must go through those who stay to ride it out. I would be terrified. God bless all of you.
You're in my prayers. You should know this is the most
dangerous time. Please get all the help of people around that you can! God Bless and God Speed!
Prayers are also needed
Hello: I will say a prayer for this precious little one. He is too young to suffer this way. I also need many prayers for a dear friend with Stage III ovarian cancer, who is undergoing chemotherapy and having a rough time, but has a loving family and is coming home today. It is not hopeless but need prayers.
I also need some prayers for my mother-in-law who is in the hospital with lymphoma and a severe blood infection. If anyone has some extra prayers please send them there way as they are lovely ladies and need a second chance. Thank you. Hope all of our prayers are answered.
Will definitely keep you in my prayers PAMT! nm

Sorry to hear about the DX, will keep you in my prayers. nm
Please send your thoughts and prayers...
Yesterday around 11:00 a.m., in a town near me, a guy went to the hospital where his ex-wife was a nurse, called her outside to talk to her, and shot her 5 times. She was flown to a bigger hospital nearby, but later died. They found him last night trying to cross the Canadian border.
There are 2 small girls involved (5 & 9) who can use all the prayers we can offer right now.
You're already in our thoughts and prayers,
and I am also making a donation to the Red Cross. May God watch over you.
Absolutely, sending prayers their way.

My mother has been in remission for seven years and my Dad a little over one year.
Prayers for a sexually abused child please...sm
I'm a foster parent and while at my foster child's psychologist appointment today there was a 9-year-old girl waiting for her appointment time and she looked the saddest of any child I've ever encountered. Right after I walked into the room this child looked at me and said "men stare at me." I then told her that perhaps it was because she was a pretty girl, and she went on to tell me that she was there because she had been sold for sex to men by her mom to support her mom's meth habit. She is now in protective custody and it was her caseworker who had brought her in to start psychotherapy. Things like this make me sick because this child's innocence was robbed all because her mother made poor decisions in life and sold her child to fulfill her own selfish desires. All I could do was assure her that she wasn't the bad person and that she was a good kid and that the people that did these things to her were bad, and that not all men want sex from girls. Please say a prayer for her. I don't know her name but God certainly does.
Ditto.......prayers to all in India affected!!!....nm

Relief from this coal miner's daughter for all of those families and prayers for the one fallen.
Coal miners are a rare breed. Thank God these were saved.
I'm so sorry you are feeling like this! I truly believe it is because
of your illness right now that this is all happening - the way you are feeling. About a week before any kind of sickness is starting in my body I go through the same exact thing. You must be paid hourly or salary because no one should have to cover for "free" and not get paid overtime! The phone co. tried to do that with my DH and other salaried workers and there's been a federal law passed that any unpaid overtime MUST be paid from Oct. of last year until now. You must gaid paid overtime even if you are salaried. Look it up and see if that is not correct.
Anyhow, good luck. LIke another poster said, get plenty of rest and I promise, next week you will be doing better.
Been there.. know the feeling
I think we start them so you and they school sports are SOOO competitive nowdays, that the kids give it all they have and then finally burn out. My son did. He played everything from tennis, golf, football, soccer to basketball. He did finish playing through high school (had finally limited it to only basketball), but did not want to play when it came to college. It broke my heart. For one thing, I was not ready to not get to see him play anymore and, secondly, how to pay for college now? However, I didn't want to push him into something he did not want to do. We have survived college so far (he's in his third year), but now he plays sports only on a recreational basis and is very happy. He is even pursuing a degree in Sports Management and wants to be a sports agent, so he still has the love of the game. I'm just glad he didn't lose that through it all.
Feeling Up Mom...
This is simply too funny!

thank you, feeling better.
I know the feeling
I tell them up front what work types I like and that I don't want the very high rates for the crappy accounts. My company, Etransplus, lets you choose what work types you want to do and I bet you I don't get an ESL but maybe twice a month. I had also checked with them for a friend of mine and they do need ops people only.
I always tell companies that big line rates don't pay off in the long run when the accounts are so bad.
i had the same feeling..
I really had admired his class throught the whole show and he certainly came down a peg or 2 then
