Had silver nitrate treatment x 2. Now am on 1% Cyclosporin, which burns like acid. Nothing has even begun to work.He said the next step was to have ocular surgery where the mast cells are literally scraped off, but he said it's not always successful.

There are two other drops like Restasis, xiidra which patients do not like and is very expensive and Cequa which is same medicine as restasis but stronger concentration. Ask you ophthalmologist about Restasis (cyclosporin) think it just became available as generic.

My ophthalmologist recently prescribed restasis for dry eyes. I read that cyclosporin can causes cancer. Is this true? Are these drops safe?
The fat lip also is commonly secondarily infected with bacteria, so I would recommend a 2-3 week course of antibiotics if not already done. The three types of allergies are parasite (fleas, mites), food allergy, and pollen/dust allergies. If your cat is already on a good flea control such as Advantage or Revolution, then parasites are less likely.
Cyclosporin (brand name Atopica) is a relatively new oral medication which can be used as a non-steroid way to reduce allergic skin inflammation and itching. It is helpful in approximately 80% of allergic dogs to control itch. Cyclosporin is given orally daily for 4-6 weeks, then the dose and frequency is slowly decreased to the lowest possible dose needed for comfort.
s been over 2 weeks now, do i have a parasite, everyone tells me they experienced the same thing when they went, how do i get rid of it if i do
ve had experience with prednisone and cyclosporin and read about Xolair. I will explain all of them in due time. During my hospitalization the doctors prescribed me with prednisone and it almost seem to work like magic relieving my skin. The skin began to dry out and the itching was completely gone! (I was amazed by this, first time in 20 years I did not feel itchy at all.. I actually almost cried because of it). Later I found out my dermatologist at Brigham wasn't very happy with this.

Both my wife and I have very dry eyes and both of us have been on Restasis (cyclosporin) for years with excellent results. I understand from postings from the UK this is difficult to get there.
He told us to wait till the cyclosporin is stopped. When the cyclosporin was stopped, we waited for 45 days and had a HCV quantitative done. It was 1420000IU/ML ie 88% less than the last test conducted and SGOT/SGPT levels were 60/109. I had also gone through some articles on HCV which stated that out of 100 people who gets infected, 15 will get rid of the virus without any treatment.
The ER doctor diagnosed me with Herpes Keratitis yesterday. I had been taking Restasis(Cyclosporin eye drops BID) and had many of the symptoms of side effects of that drug including low neutraphils, redness and swelling of eyelids, itching, feeling of foreign object in my eye, pain on administration of drops.
I believe this is a drug reaction not Herpes Keratitis. What do you think?
He is on Prednizone and Cyclosporin. She raised the Cyclosporin level to 800mg twice a day. When she raised his meds before, he started turning jaundice. Now at 800 mg twice a day he has become more jaundice. She refuses to change the medication or even think that it could be the medication causing this. How can tell if it is the medication? If it is, how can I get her to change the medications? What can I do?
I would suggest a trial of cyclosporin (Restasis) as it is much safer long term because of the steroid side effects of cataracts, glaucoma and cornea infection. Not in some cases it has lasted 30-40 years and is more commin in females.
So you are probably asking for trouble continuing to wear contacts. You should place yourself under the care of an ophthalmologist Eye MD that specializes in cornea and external disease.
After a poor response to steroids, followed by a 6‐month trial of cyclophosphamide, he was commenced on cyclosporin in January 1997.
In October 1998 the patient complained of lethargy and tiredness. Examination was unremarkable, other than blood pressure 150/100. Investigations revealed Hb 8.7, with normal red cell parameters, ferritin 23, folate 6.1, creatinine 240, urea 21.8, corrected calcium 2.20, and phosphate 1.33.
Usually the stool tests do not have parasite tests. So you may have to ask to get a ova and parasite test. Or they do a pinworm test. Were you treated for the Entamoeba histolytica, Balantidium coli and Giardia because those were positive by your results above?
The scrotum itching is not related to toxoplasma it is usually a fungus. You can get a spray or cream for "Jock Itch" or something with fluconazole or terbinafine in it.
You should see a dermatologist for the body itching.
I think the hard time breathing may be a panic attack because of all the pain your having. I think they should get a MRI or CT scan or EEG to check for migraines and the scans to check for brain problems. It may be difficult to tell them you have brain parasite rather explain your symtoms like you told us. Since you haven't travelled outside the country it is unlikey you have the parasites that would affect the brain and eyes.
Remedies are probably not enough for pinworm. Effective anti-parasite drugs exist, usually you get one or two tablets and that's it. You should have stool test for parasites again, if it will be negative, you should repeat it few times, since false negative results are often.
If lactose intolerance is a result of diminished synthesis of enzyme lactase in the intestine, it doesn't improve, but worsen with time. Avoiding dairy products solve the condition completely.
I am almost certain this was a cyst from a water borne parasite but I am no doctor. My question is should I see if the metronidazole will help clear the rest or should I see a urologist immediately? I do not have any itching, burning or pain while doing anything other than urination and the last .5 inch of my penis is tender if squeezed.
Many thanks for the help/advice. I hope that this is specific enough because I really want to be able to enjoy the ability to pee freely again.
Hi, I have morgellons, and I have not only removed fibers and granules but have a sample of the parasite/organism, that I believe is the host to this illness. I took it to my vet, who said it was definitely a parasite, but not one he had ever seen before. I would like to send it to someone who could analyze it, but have no doctors helping me, so I have not dared take in any samples. What to do about this?
Hello Everyone,
I suffer from eosinophilia and I've been told that it is often caused by parasites. I've seen parasites in my stool a few times, but the 5 stool tests I've had so far all came back negative, so traditional medicine doesn't seem to help.
I'm looking for a safe/non-toxic parasite cleanse that is also cranberry and laxative free (I'm allergic to cranberries). I have a strong preference for capsule cleanses.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
