Because of my GERD, my doctor prescribed an IV infusion of Reclast. Unfortunately, I suffered some of the side effects, fever, and severe bone pain to the point of not being able to take in a full breath. My doctor was so concerned he put me on a steroid dose pack to reduce the reaction. My body doesn't seem very tolerant of any drugs, couldn't take anything other than extra strength Tylenol for a foot surgery. I will have to figure out something else with an endocronologist?
It can take a few months to separate disease activity from treatment side-effects unless its something obvious like Copaxone welts.
Be sure to mention this to your team when you go for the second infusion so this gets put in your notes and you get feedback from the pros. In the mean time, I'm so sorry you're feeling this wiped out.
I saw cases (on Internet) that it may erupt suddenly into grade 4 with every next infusion (some scary pics there). Anybody experienced really bad skin side effects with Doxil? Would it go away completely after chemo finishes? Anyone had positive effects from topical steroids? I would try them first before --if they help-- before other options. I am seeing my oncologist next week, after infusion #4 and obviously want to complete this chemo cycle with no interruption.
I feel pretty good afterwards and am not limping much at all anymore. My question is regarding side effects of Solu-Medrol. I realize that everyone is different but is there an average time frame for side effects? Today is the 3rd day AFTER the infusions were completed. I have the metal taste in my mouth, I could eat my family out of house and home, I can sleep at night fine but need a nap during the day and I can sometimes be very warm or very chilly.
The latest date I've seen for an FDA ruling is March 28. Of course this could change. The pricing info I've seen is "in line with other treatments", somewhere around $50,000/year.
It may be a new MS drug, but they have been using it in Germany to treat psoriasis for about 10 years. Its safety record is well documented. The risk/side effect profile is substantially better than Tysabri's.
I've just tested JCV+ and may have to come off Tysabri.
I currently just had my 5th Remicade Infusion last week. Yes, there are side effects, like being allergic to it, but a lot of the side effects people experience from it are because they have other conditions or are on a lot of other medications. I think the Remicade is helping me, but then again I'm not sure because it's internal, and I can't see what's going on. It is designed to heal fistulas and take down the inflammation of the bowels and intestines caused by Crohn's.
After about 3 months, was having bad low back pain and pain on the top of both thighs. I then had a left rib fracture of unknown cause. At that time, no side effects like this were published. I did find a small group with similar symptoms but my Doc said it was not the Nexium. I stopped it and within 4 days, the flank and thigh pain were gone. I was later put on Omeprazole, 40 mg 2x a day fir the past few months. Not sure yet, but my low back muscles are killing me.
Can anyone (ive had many helpful communications) who has undergone this treatment, PLEASE tell me of their after effects/side effects from the infusion and how long they all lasted along with the severity of them please?
Im on my 4th full day after treatment and seem to keep getting hit by new problems without any of the others disappearing.
So I just finished my 2nd infusion about a week ago and was wondering what people's side effects were from that. My body felt like I had a severe flu for like 3 days :( . How long also does it take to notice the drug is working for you .
I just wanted to let you know that the last time I had an infusion it was for 3 days and the side effects for me were horrible. I called the MS nurse and she said that the steroids stay in your system for about 10 days so I would have to wait until after then to see how I felt. In your case you had the infusion for 5 days so I would imagine the steroids would be in your system a little longer.
Anyone famillair with side effects of doxil? It's my moms first relapse after 2 years, ca-125=180, 1.0 cm. lesion on the covering of the liver and she starts doxil in a reasearch trial including doxil, an experimental ovarian cancer vaccine, and another chemo that is suppossed to cause her tumor to make a protien that the vaccine will kill. Has anyone ever herad of any of this?
Again my biggest questions are 1. what are the side effects of doxil, 2.
I had my first Tysabri infusion this morning and I experienced no side effects so far at all. Over the last 2 months I have had some improvment. I still have all my symptoms but they're less intense. So here's hoping for the best. Hoping this medication works at seriously slowing this beast way down.
How are things with everyone? I truly hope everyone has been well or well as can be expected. I'm learning now about the ups and downs and the good days and bad days.
I was changed to Tysabri and had my first infusion yesterday and everything went great, no reactions or side effects. However, I could swear I have more energy today. I have not been shopping for months and today I was able to go shopping. Is this my imagination? Just a rare good day? Or could the med already be having an effect on my fatigue? FYI, all other symptoms are pretty much the same.
I understand what you mean by all these side effects. I get like this during and after the infusion but only for that day. I think it just depends on who you are and how you respond to the medication. Maybe her body is still getting used to the meds, you never know with meds like this it could take up to the 10th one to feel okay. On those days I just take it easy and I do drink lots of fluids on that day as well. I dont eat much I do lose my appetite. I get a lot of rest in.
