Avatar f tn You have stiff neck? RA symptoms? Chronic hadaches? stomach and bowell issues? ovarian cysts or a hysterstomy? brain "fog", vertigo, anxiety? If so your Fibro might be in fact a mycoplasma infection or possibly Lymes. Can you give me a full report of your symptoms? Search www.immed.org and look under AI diseases/chronic illness.
Avatar n tn I'm glad you will be seeing the doctor Monday. I know how frustrating it can be to have pain and not get relief from it. I have tried every, and I mean every treatment and modality there is out there for my chronic headaches and chronic pain, and I still don't have any relief. It's part of my life. I'm trying a new acupuncturist, but even she thinks my "case" is complicated because my pain is so rampant all over my body, particularly my neck and lower back areas.
Avatar m tn Consult a neurologist who could help you with insomnia management with drugs like benzodiazepines etc and behavioral therapy. Try taking up a regular exercise regimen for exhausting so that you could derive some natural sleep. If these dont help, you need to be investigated for hypothyroidism, depression and fibromyalgia. Treatment would be according to the diagnosis. Take care.
Avatar f tn Hey Suzy. Welcome to the forum. Oxycodone @ 10mg injected will produce the SAME results as morphine for most people. I'm mentioning this to point out that these types of drugs are opioid drugs, potentially habit forming narcotic drugs. The fact that they are prescribed legally, does not make them any less dangerous than street drugs, other than the fact that their "quality" and strength are consistent with what they claim.

Avatar f tn Avastin is still not a standard treatment but, many doctors are using it as a follow up treatment, and there has been sucess in slowing the rate of recurrence. Avastin does not have the same side effects as chemo....I know someone that has been on Avastin for a recurrence for about a year or so and is doing very well. There are concerns with bowel issues and Avastin, but, everyone is different. Wishing Lori the best of luck...

Avatar f tn Hi I had mine done last year and it was low so I went on the regimen of 50,000iu for 4 or 6 wks and a daily 2000iu dose. It hasn't stopped my symptoms, but my doctor said it is for the immune system also.
Avatar f tn Hello. I am new to this group. Recently diagnosed at Mayo Clinic (after 3 visits during past 4 months) with Fibromyalgia, Central Sensitization Syndrome, Sjogren's Syndrome, Dysautonomia (Autonomic Dysfunction), Migraines and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome. Today, a local rheumatologist in South Florida said "I don't support disability for fibromyalgia." After I questioned this, she said "never, ever" not even when combined with the other diagnoses and symptoms.
Avatar f tn Hi all- I am a 27 year old female suffering from a very severe case of fibromyalgia. It has left me bed ridden for weeks at a time and when the flare ups are bad nothing works. I have prescriptions for morphine and oxycodone but on bad days they don't touch the pain. I can't do massages because the fibro pressure points are too painful to be touched.
Avatar m tn I had only once tested my hbsag quantity since my diagnosis two years ago. The test was done a few weeks ago and came out about 17000iu/ml. In other words quite high, that should warrant treatment immediately, in my opinion, though my dumb doctors won't put me on treatment yet. But I'm going to fight them and insist that I need antiviral treatment.
Avatar m tn AbbVie Oral Regimen Cures Nearly All GT1 Hepatitis C, Phase 3 Trials Now Done AbbVie announced this week that it has completed Phase 3 clinical trials of its interferon-free regimen containing 3 direct-acting antivirals, with or without ribavirin, for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.
Avatar f tn an opiate is not the main medication for treatment. Most patients are on a nerve pain medication like Lyrica, Neurontin, or Cymbalta. These target specific nerve pain which is your main source of pain with the herniated discs and sciatic nerve pain. An opiate does not work well for this. Same thing with having a muscle relaxer to take as needed. Flexeril, Skelaxin, Robaxin, Baclofen, or Zanaflex. This is very useful for those times with bad muscle spasms... Again...
Avatar f tn Other antidepressants are also helpful, such as zoloft, and the treatment for both neuropathy and fibromyalgia is similar, and often, more than one medication is necessary to control the symptoms. Combinations of medications are not necessarily harmful if taken as prescribed, and if certain other things (such as excessive alcohol consumption) is consumed at the same time. Many people are on combinations similar to yours and find benefit without major side effects.
Avatar m tn I have been told for 3 years I have Fibromyalgia along with osteoarthritis in many areas; osteoporosis (I have lost 2 and l/2 inches in 3 years; fracture mode; every medicine I had been put on has been problems and I have been taken off all for Fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Now, my right eye is getting fuzzy, not every day, but more days all the time. My doctor has said although I need back surgery, be careful doing that because it will possibly make your fibromyalgia worse.
Avatar n tn The decisions about further treatment will take into account what treatment she has had in the past, her overall health, the characteristics of the cancer. There is not one specific regimen used to treat hormone receptor negative and HER2 negative breast cancer. Treatments that would not be used are the hormone therapies that would be used to treat hormone receptive cancers or medications like Herceptin or lapatinib which target the HER2 receptor.
Avatar f tn 5.5 Laboratory Tests HCV-RNA levels should be monitored at Treatment Weeks 4, 8, 12, and 24, at the end of treatment, during treatment follow-up, and for other time points as clinically indicated. Use of a sensitive real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay for monitoring HCV-RNA levels during treatment is recommended.

Avatar n tn However, we do not believe convenience is as important for an 8-12 week treatment regimen that produces a cure compared with for example chronic HIV treatment." Shares of Enanta Pharmaceuticals Inc, which co-developed ABT-450 with AbbVie, were up 22.2 percent to $36.25 on Nasdaq. They are up more than 70 percent since AbbVie released data from the first Phase III trial last month. AbbVie shares were up 2.1 percent at $52.30 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange. http://www.
Avatar f tn The type of treatment regimen you have will depend on your Genotype. Also, is your doctor planning to start you on the current treatment regimen for your particular Genotype, or will you be in a study? We cannot address the side effects until we know which regimen you will be on.
Avatar f tn I will be starting on a regimen of taxotere and Cytoxan given every three weeks for 4 weeks. Since this is a short regimen, will I experience many side effects?
