778736 tn?1235756590 I was put on a hormone replacement because I was suffering about 3 months ago (Activella) which saved me. Since January I work out 3/4 times a week, practically a vegan with an occasional chicken or fish. Now it's 2 months into this and I again teater on 138-142. What is going on????? I'm doing everything right but not loosing that extra 10 lbs that I don't want.
429647 tn?1249753429 m on Activella which is a lowdose combination HRT pill (bio Estrogen but nonbio Progesterone)and feeling good on that. If you plan on starting HRT, consider starting on the lowest possible dose and see if that relieves your symptoms. When you change dose it can take a few months to even out and it is easier to work your way up than down in dose. There are pros and cons for HRT. Did you have your cancer tested for estrogen receptors? That can be a big factor in making a decision.

Avatar m tn Ok I will do that when I see my gyn in May. The only time I break out is when I get stressed out. I will want her to order the best test that would be able to see the difference between hsv1 and hsv2 which one would that be?

Avatar n tn My retinal specialist diagoses me a atrophy patch in my right eye. He only told me that because of my myopic streached retina the blood supply in that area was to weak and that the photoreceptors died. I do see a patch blind spot, but i can't define if is in my central vision or peripheral, because i see the wave in the ambler grid, but in the real life i won't recognize the letter or anything sharp in that area anyway.
Avatar n tn recently an orange patch showed up on my stomach. I have had another spot like this on my leg for a long time but I never thought anything of it until this recently showed up. It has an orange color and it kind of has the appearance of a hickey. Does not itch or hurt. What could it be??
Avatar n tn My husband has been prescibed the the 9.5 exelon patch but we still have a supply of the 4.6 patches. With them being so expensive can I use two of the 4.6 patches at the same time until we run out?
Avatar m tn Blood patches are done if you get a lumbar headache after a lumbar puncture. The headache is caused from a leak caused by the lumbar puncture.A blood patch will not help general headaches or migraines.
Avatar m tn I have chronic pain from Tarlov Disease and Interstial Cystitis. My pain has been well managed for 2 1/2 years using tramadol (ultram) for maintenance and lortab for break through pain. I have developed chronic kidney disease and my doctors are pushing me to get some exercise. I have found that with every exercise form I have tried I quickly get beyond the pain control offered bu tramadol and lortab so i can't exercise.
Avatar f tn Ive had this patch on my breast by my areola for a few months now it has itched but not is often it grew to the size of a quarter now i itch all over my body even my face and scalp and behind my ears. I have a severe case of eczema in the ears. My face is breaking out i also intake alot of pop and sugar. Im 33years old and i had my ovaries removrd around this time last year.
Avatar f tn I used to be on the patch and a certain brand (looks more like a gel in a pouch, instead of like a nicotine patch) and those would bother my skin and everything. I ended up getting off the patch and switching to actiq, the oral suckers. They helped much better with my abdominal pain, but just to worn you, it's not fun getting off fetanyl if you ever cross that bridge. I'd switch to something else. I just wasn't thrilled with the patches. Good luck.
Avatar n tn Even though it is not a gel patch, problems can result. The medication is not evenly distributed over the suface of this flat patch, and more can be in one part than in another....not too mention, like someone said, it'll likely not be too helpful to go down by 50% in dose anyway.
Avatar m tn I need to find some new people who are trying to get off this patch! I need new info if there is any. Is sundowner still out there and are you off them? I am going through hell and wonder how long this will have to go on. Down to the 25 now.
Avatar n tn I have a red patch on the tip of my penis. It burns most of the time and sometimes it feels like my entire genital area is burning. I have also had some difficulty urinating and my urine burns. I have tried a number of topicals on it, including for a while, triple antibiotic ointment, I later switched to cortisone, which burned worse and then lotrimin. I went to a urologist last week, he says he sees nothing. I can definitely see the red patch.
Avatar f tn t afford to buy my own generic right now.Does anyone know of a generic equivalent patch that the drug company will give me for free?
Avatar f tn I had the typical headache afterwards and went back to the ER a week later for a blood patch. For over three months following the blood patch, the headaches continued. They were particularly painful mid-day for some reason, and it was extremely painful when I coughed, sneezed, or bent over. I went to several doctors, all of whom said there was no sign that spinal fluid was still leaking.
Avatar m tn m sorry to tell you that the headaches will continue for awhile, but should be less using the patch. If you are prescribed the patch, the doctor suspects you could be a candidate for a heart attack, in my opinion, so tough it out. Avoid alcohol. I made the mistake of tipping a bit of wine when wearing the patch, and the headache that came instantly was intense. The headache will go away in about two weeks. However, my chest pains went away at once when I started the patch.

Avatar f tn Daughter has Duragen patch and I was reading up on it. It is a laid on patch which helps to explain her 90 minute surgery (with another hour for the prep). It says this patch is totally absorbed by the body I was wondering how long that takes? Once it is absorbed can there be a leak? We are dealing with some fluid build up which seems to have resolved (at least from what we can see/feel). Thanks for any info!
Avatar m tn I waned to thank you, as well as pitbull mom, for taking the time to answer my post. From what I've been able to find out about the patch, it's a transdermal patch worn for seven days at a clip and then changed and a new one put on. It does release small amounts of buprenorphine, I believe the article I read said it was 10 microns.
Avatar n tn They did ultra sound ot break my lense.The very next day when the shield is removed I started seeing a black patch in my vision in the left corner of my left operated eye.If I turn the eye to the right the black patch moves to the center of my eye upto the left left edge of my iris.If I look straight it hides in the left corner of my eye.If I turn to the left corner it hides in the left corner only. Like this since that black patch moves along with the eye the vision is shaky and annoying.
