on vacation i caught a cold. week later felt good and went swimming in outdoor pool. could not get the water out of my ears. Hear that i should not have used a Q-tip.ENT cleaned out ears and put me on one week of prednisone 20mg 1x a day and Amox tr-k clv 875-125mg tabs twice daily and triamcinolone 55mcg nasal spray twice a day. My problem is that my ears are still clogged almost like wearing ear muffs. There was never any pain. How long before my ears are unblocked and should i continue to clean out earwax at home. This started in the pool on Jan 5th and doctor on Jan 9th. Follow up is on Jan. 17th. Also, any questions i need to ask my doctor? I have no other medical conditions and just had a complete physical in December. Thanks for your help. ## Hello, Sony! How are you? Did your ea...

my fasting sugar ranges between 98-108 and 2 hours after food it comes between 120-140. for previous 2 months i have been taking the tables glycomet.I am doing exercise on daily basis apart form swimming. can i discontinue the medicine ## Have you consulted your doctor about this? When you are diabetic, it is very important that you discuss such issues, with your doctor, before stopping any medication. Out of control blood sugar levels can cause serious medical complications. At this point, while your readings have improved, it could be because the medication is doing its job and if you stop taking it, they may steadily start to rise, again.

I am on 8mg candesarton and i am getting up at 6am to go to work coming home and falling asleep at 8pm at night. I exercise by walking,swimming and pilates. I just seem to be very fatigued and wondered if the medication is causing this. My blood pressure is steady around 130/78 i check it most nights. ## Yes, it can cause fatigue and drowsiness as side effects, according to FDA reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and frequent urination. Are you on any other medications? I take a related medication called Losartan, and it does the same thing to me, quite frequently. It can be very annoying, and exhausting.

Okay SWIM got some Xanax bars, currently have them. They work however I have a question about their "realness". When you search Xanax online all the white bars that come up have rounded edges yet these have squared edges like a rectangle. They have the normal imprints the Xanax and the 2 and they also are sit the normal way four lines. I just don't know about the realness because all the ones online are rounded on the edges not square like these. ## *Typo* Slit not sit, sorry everyone. SWIM could really use some help. ## Yes, the ones with that imprint are more rounded. Are these possibly foreign tablets? I'll keep looking and post back, when I have information for you. This medication carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, ...

Hi everybody, I have been using Androgel for a year now, up and down with it as i have absorption problems, especially if i swim the next coming days. I feel like crap no energy, no libido, etc. I spoke to my urologist who prescribed Axiron. Is it better absorbed than Androgel? Thanks

It's upside down. it's actually 05 52 with an M on the backside. It's an oxycodone 5mg. ## Hi Swim, Thanks for posting the correct imprint. "M 25 50" appears to be a common mistake with this particular pill. For verification I can also confirm that this is a 5mg Oxycodone tablet, used to treat moderate to severe pain. If anyone else out there is seeking additional information, the manufacturer of this pill is Mallinckrodt, and it has a National Drug Code of 00406-0552. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Oxycodone Details I hope this helps!

Been on Xarelto for five months. Lat muscles became chronically sore within first week after starting Xarelto. Both deltoids and part of tri-ceps starting getting sore. Am in competitive swimming at age 65 and been swimming since 12. Every time I push the workouts, the muscles become more sore. Definitely not sore from over rotation and joints don't hurt; just muscles. Also feel exhausted at times, even when having not swum. Very irritating and I blame this drug. Hard to keep weight down when I can't do a good swim workout. Gone from 4,000 meters to 2800 meters due to soreness. At times I wake up at night with soreness in deltoids. Consequently, sleep is being disrupted also making feel tired. ## I am very sorry about the problems you're having, many people have reported exp...

Multaq works quite good for me as I actively walk, swim and cycle with little if any consequence. As for the bad I am quite fatigued. House work and laundry often is put on the back burner. I am just finding out about the fatigue caused by the job. ## Multaq contains the active ingredient Dronedarone, it is used to treat Cardiac Arrhythmias. Common side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and drowsiness. You can read more here: There are some other threads that include the experiences of other users: IS there anything I can help you with? ## Hmmm...It seems I made an error in my initial statement I am just finding out about the fatigue caused by the job. It should read ...caused by this drug.

SWIM told me that Modafinil has now been approved by the FDA for Refractory Depression, also called Treatment Resistant Depression, which would then be covered by Medicare Part D. This type of depression has certain things that a person has to have gone through in order to be considered having it. They are multiple combinations of Anti-depressants, or Anti-depressants and Antipsychotics and Mood Stabilizers without any success in helping the depression, which since 1983 Psychiatrists have had me go though without success. The second is the patient has have to have gone through Electro Shock Therapy, which hasn't helped me either. The last one is having, through major surgery, a device called the Vagus Nerve Stimulator implanted somewhere between my left underarm and breast and broug...

Swim's pal came across some white capsules that had no markings at all, just about as long as abe's head on a penny, and a little more than three pennies girth-wise. Swim's capsules contained extremely fine white powder and swim was told that said capsules are roxy 30mg. Trusting what swim's pal had told him, swim opened the capsule, tasted the powder (finest grain powder swim has ever come across mind you) and it was the unmistakable taste of oxycodone, only less of the bitter bite was noticeable. After some consideration and careful preparation, swim insufflated half of what was inside, and immediately noticed that it was in fact, an opiate. Swim then insufflated the other half of the powder and waited for the heavier effects. Swim says that the taste is REMARKABLY les...

I moved from Warfarin to Pradaxa 1.5yrs ago. I was having to have blood tests quite frequently with my INR decreasing or increasing despite trying to maintain a correct diet. I have been so much healthier with Pradaxa and have returned to competitive swimming, At age 65 I am swimming 100 M Medley's. I keep getting much faster in the pool. I am not sure if it is connected but I changed my diet to only include Fish/ skinless chicken-sometimes, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables and Muesli for breakfast. I did have high Blood pressure and high Cholesterol but my BP is quite normal and one 45 yr Physician told me, my Cholesterol was much better than his. ## Hi Charles, According to the New York Times, Pradaxa was identified as the primary suspect in 542 patient deaths reported to the F.D.A. in...
