Prednisone

User Ratings:
5.6	Effectiveness
5.4	Side Effects
5.9	Holistic Benefits

I'm 31 and have had nephrotic syndrome with flares every 6 months since I was 2. Bone density test shows my bones are stronger than most healthy people, but I drink a lot of milk. When I'm on Prednisone I cut salt out of my diet as much as possible (there's a lot of salt in milk) knowing that the more I eat, the more I will swell. Also, even though it's hard and I don't feel well I continue to lift weights and do cardio to combat the inevitable weight gain. Weird hot flashes and some acne... View full comment

Levaquin

User Ratings:
1.9	Effectiveness
5.2	Side Effects
3.3	Holistic Benefits

I was diagnosed with sinus infection and prescribed Levaquin on 3 separate occasions, all within an 18 month span. In all three instances, the Levaquin cleared up the infection, but after the third round of drug therapy, I experienced a drastic change in personality. I became severely depressed, entertained suicidal thoughts, became very confused and disoriented, and suffered constant joint pain. In general, I felt terrible! I will NEVER take this drug again, and strongly discourage my fa... View full comment

Simvastatin

User Ratings:
6.1	Effectiveness
3.7	Side Effects
4.6	Holistic Benefits

I'm not good at taking daily tablets--usually every other day, but still my cholesterol dropped 100 points. When I do take, my feet hurt when I get up in the morning. On days I don't take the medication, they feel better.

Zyflamend

User Ratings:
4.8	Effectiveness
2.5	Side Effects
5	Holistic Benefits

Update: the Zyflamend is not effective enough for my rosacea which has returned somewhat despite my usage of the maximum dosage. I did get a five month break from taking the oral antibiotics which I think is a good thing and I plan to substitute Zyflamend, full dosage again in the future. In the meantime, I am continuing to take the lowest possible dosage to keep my arthritic toe and finger joints happy. All in all, it's a very useful product, but just not a permanent solution to my rosac... View full comment

Gardasil Human Papillomavirus Vaccine

User Ratings:
-1.3	Effectiveness
7.2	Side Effects
1.8	Holistic Benefits

I have 3 daughters, all whom have received the gardasil series of 3 shots. My oldest and youngest have not had any major side effects, however, my 16 year old, has had many health problems since receiving her 3rd shot. Ten days after her last shot, she complained of severe abdominal pains, nausea, shortness of breath, numbness and tingling in her hands, muscle cramps, and dizziness. We went to our pediatrician and he ran blood tests and an abdominal CT scan that were all normal. He related he... View full comment
