I’m type II Diab. and am currently taking Januvia… by Barbara P. Turner
I’m type II Diab. and am currently taking Januvia 100 mg., I’m also on 3 BP meds: Avapro 300mg, Coreg 12.5 mg twice a day, and Norvasc 10mg And have severe Fybromyalgia and take Cymbalta 60 mg every other day because of its side effects. I also take vytorin 10/40 and I take otc for Hot flashes by way of Estroven Plus. I’m also a Coumadin 7.5 mg patient due to an inoperable 2 centimeter blood clot in a branch of my lower right lung on 9/10/08 and a 3 1/2 day stay in the hospital. I was weaned from the Lovenox shots to the Coumadin and given the Protein C & S test and come to find out that (as I already knew) because of my heredity angina, etc. on my dad’s side and the Diab. and blood clots, etc. on my mother’s side, I came up so low that now they’re afraid to take me off the coumadin as prescribed for the 1st 6 months after a blood clot. In other words, I don’t want to come off the coumadin, risk forming another blood clot just so they can get a clean test result instead of a false positive like what I did and I really don’t want to plan on dying in Feb. when I’m scheduled to come off the coumadin. Any takers on this?

Has anyone had oral pain due to Symbicort usage?
I’ve used it for about 8 months, rinse thoroughly afterward, but my palate and gums are very sore and sensitive to hot and cold.
Now I’ve been off for three weeks and they are no longer sore.
Has anyone else experienced this or do you have information on why this might be occurring? (It worked on the asthma really well.)

I went in to be induced at 5:30am. They started the pitocin about an hour later. They started at the lowest possible dosage, but ended up craking it up to the highest by early afternoon. It was crazy sudden pain! I went from not feeling my contractions to feeling like hell. About an hour later, and three pushes my baby was born at 5:05pm.
