184420 tn?1326739808 Restasis takes about 3 months of use before it actually works,thats where the Lotemax kicks in-it is a steroid that helps the Restasis get to work faster.No more problems for me.Chronic Dry Eyes will do this to you.I was miserable with mine.
Avatar f tn I had cataract surgery 7 weeks ago. My distance with the crystalens is better, but like looking through vaseline. My up close vision and monitor distance is much worse than it was before and I'm seeing double. My surgeon says it can take 2-3 months to come into focus. I'm very concerned and quite anxious. I work on a computer 8 hours a day and don't want to pay for my glasses to be upgraded twice. Any suggestions ?
Avatar f tn You should start to feel better within 2 to 3 days. It may take up to 4 weeks for pantoprazole to work properly so you may still have some symptoms during this time.

Avatar f tn After 2 steroid drops, Sooth XP, Freshtears gel at night, and now finally Restasis and Lotemax, I see no improvment. I have been taking the Restasis for 5 months now. If it was going to work, would it have worked by now? I show no signs of improvment. After spending lots of money that is hard for me to come up with, I am at my wits end. Any other suggestions?

Avatar f tn It takes 4-6 weeks for a med change to reach full potential in your blood, then after that, it can take another few weeks or even a couple months for your body to get well. While I don't condone sassiness and talking teenagers talking back to their parents, ask your mom to be patient and understand that the thyroid controls quite a few body processes, so without it, your entire body has to readjust and get used to the medication.
Avatar f tn It takes 30 days to clear your system but if u work out n sweat it out a lot it takes only a few days
229538 tn?1300377767 I really think that as a recovering addict I will always have those dark periods, after all I was an addict for 24 years, and it is going to take some time to get back to normal. You did well by coming back online to express your thoughts.
737715 tn?1347791040 Some people say to test twice a day, because your surge could be very short and may only have a 12 hour window, which only adds to the anxiety. I would have liked to try it, but it was hard to stomach the $30 for each kit. You could still conceive naturally. OPK's are not effective on everyone. Most of the time, it is because you ovulate at times you least expect due to stress, anxiety, or life events as well as most women don't ovulate every month too.
Avatar f tn Go to my website and scroll through the blog posts and read the updated article on dry eyes. Restasis is wonderful but will take 3-6 months to begin to work. Be sure you use the vials not the multi-drop bottle which is hugely more expensive.
Avatar n tn I was recently diagnosed with dermatitis by a local dermatologist and he prescribed me a topical medication called "Elidel", since he didn't think steroid creams were appropriate for the area of body that I am treating which has thin skin. Anyways, I have been using the Elidel for about 10 days now, and have NOT seen any noticable difference in my skin condition.
