Avatar f tn Hi, I am not Trin but I also have / had PCT. There are specific tests to diagnose PCT which my dermatologist did. AS far as myself and Trin the manifestations were large liquid filled blisters that made a mess nof our hands. The blisters were like a burn that filled with a clear liquid. In my case it did not start with a rash but only the blisters. The blisters hurt so bad, almost to the bone hurt. Trin will chime in here I am sure of that and she is better able to put into words tham me.
Avatar m tn Guess I should say PCT skin manifestations return after tx as the PCT is chronic anyway. I also should spell it correctly "porphyria" (I think).
Avatar m tn Gave me symptoms. I am now on letrozole. Also experiencing symptoms. Will letrozole keep this cancer away. Is there a smaller does than 2.5 of letrozole that I can take.
1190279 tn?1324936257 Hi! Doctors will prescribe either clomid or letrozole to assist with ovulation. There's two main differences: it doesn't have anti-estrogenic side effects like clomid; and although studies have proven letrozole is an effective fertility drug it hasn't been approved by the FDA yet for fertility use, thus isn't covered by insurance (beware it's very expensive). Letrozole was developed to treat estrogen-sensitive breast cancers.
Avatar f tn The next step is cirrhosis so I had to start treatment as soon as my PCT was in check. PCT is chronic, not really any cure, but the doctor said treat the hepc and the PCT will go away and it has so far. If I can answer any other questions, please ask. I feel I am somewhat knowledgeable in this area and will share any information I can. Another one of our memeber GSgirl also had PCT and she may lend some expertise as well.
Avatar f tn If you haven’t begun treatment for HCV yet, this might be something called ‘PCT’ or ‘Porphyria Cutanea Tarda. It typically manifests as blisters on the upper body, particularly in those areas that are in contact with the sun. it is also strongly associated with Hep C. It involves iron management by the liver, and may require phlebotomy, or bloodletting, to help resolve it. Look for small blisters on sun-exposed areas; they may leave small scars as they heal over.
6889053 tn?1386025503 Hello, my husband and I have been trying to conceive since we've gotten married 8 yrs ago. I was diagnosed with pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) in 2006. I'm not overweight, and my cycles come every month but not consistently. Well, this entire month of Nov., I have not gotten my period. I thought I might finally be pregnant so I went to my dr. and the test was negative. How can this be?? I get my period every month, finally miss a cycle, and it's negative?
Avatar f tn I have been on letrozole for 5 months now and nothing.I had a miscarriage in march and have been taking this since march.The only side effects I have had are hot flashes in the beginning but I do get stabbing headaches occasionally.Has anyone else had to go from letrozole to something else that helped get them pregnant.

Avatar n tn From what you are describing it sounds like an extra hepatic manifestation associated with hepc called Porphyria Cutanea Tarda (PCT). Essentially, what happens is because of the hepc the liver does not process iron properly. See your doctor and have phlebotomy sessions (blood letting) scheduled to treat the Porphyria. Phlebotomy reduces ferrtin levels and generally the Porphyria will subside. Here is a link which explains PCT. http://www.porphyriafoundation.
799705 tn?1238115168 there with are now 3 of us on here porphyria pct. I was wondering how you got diagnosed with the pct but I see you are The sun brings it out. My husband also does not have Hep C and we have been together 20 years. No question is redundant. Welcome to the site!!

Trying since 2012 no pregnancy yet This is my 2nd cycle on femara, next ovulation expected on 1/14. If 3rd cycle not successful, will do iui with femara anyone else done this and got pregnant? ?
1204794 tn?1300704113 I used to have 9 to 16 days of bleeding before letrozole! After being on letrozole, how many days are you bleeding? This is my second time with Letrozole and I had 9 days of bleeding the first time. By Day 5 I'm ready to quit letrozole because it makes my bones a bit achy, my breasts are super tender and less firm, and overall I feel like I constantly have a buzz that you get with one glass of wine.
Avatar f tn I have just been diagnosed with breast cancer and have been offered a trial on Letrozole before and after surgery along with radiotherapy. I would appreciate knowing any side effects when taken along with Lithium and mood swings suffered if any.
Avatar m tn Letrozole is effective in increasing final adult height. Many medical studies have shown that. Most doctors don't know it yet. The recommended dose of 2.5 mg is actually not necessary. 0.3 mg will provide similar effects.
