Avatar n tn Finally, since about year he began giving him INVEGA (paliperidone) injection 50 mg which he is fine with it. The problem is that he has become sperm non-existent as he told me. Will it disappear in case he stop taking the injection after a long period of use???? I am very confused, particularly as he wants to get married and be a father.
Avatar n tn Hello, Depo-Provera is a long-acting progestin (hormone) form of birth control.It was seen in studies that after a year of Depo-Provera injections, 57% of women were not menstruating and after 2 years, 68% of women were not menstruating. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn For the past couple years I have been on paliperidone which is generic for invega which I know can cause extreme weight gain. Couple that with my increasingly poor eating habits, I definitely ballooned in weight. For about the past two months I have gone on a heavy calorie restriction that I know is deemed to be unsafe and unhealthy. I want to say now that with respect, I would prefer you focus on my question at hand and not about telling me to eat more food than I currently do. Thanks.
Avatar n tn One way to find out what is causing the lows is to change the timing of your long acting insulin injection. If you are injecting NPH before bed, you can expect it to cause a low at about 3am. Try having this injection in the morning instead. If the night time lows stop, you have solved the problem. If they don't stop, it could be because of the combined effect of exercise and the dinner time short-acting shot.
Avatar f tn ve decided (and sent an email) to talk to the NP at the pain clinic about switching me over to a long-acting medication for my pain. I'm thinking it will give me better relief. Even though I'm on a high dose now (45 mg. every 4 hours of oxycodone,) my pain seems to return after 2 to 3 hours. And I did have a bad flare-up this weekend; most likely due to the fact I ran low on medication due to my script not coming in the mail. Now it's a question of which medication???
Avatar n tn It this is totally out of control then a retroprosthesis injection of a long acting anesthetic should stop the pain completely.
Avatar f tn BT pain is not a new concept. Of course, I've had pharmacists ask (when reading my Rx), "What is BT pain?" Chronic pain is not taught in medical schools, except as a side. Perhaps we need a new word -- when people see "chronic pain" they probably believe its like the pain of a broken bone, only it lasts longer. I have no idea what kind of education a pharmacy PhD grad receives on the disease state known as chronic pain.
Avatar f tn While many doctors do prescribe a short acting med along with the long acting med, the short acting meds are typically written to be taking AS NEEDED for breakthrough pain (of course, also giving a time frame such as every 6 hours) - the breakthrough meds are not typically written to be taken EVERY day. In fact, the goal of a long acting med is to reduce the need for breakthrough meds. therefore, you may or may not need to take any more narcotic than what is in your long acting med.
656111 tn?1273820739 I was wondering which do you think I am better off to be on short acting med or long acting med? Because when I take short acting percocet which is 10/650 and I am only allowed to take 2 times a day. But when after I take one, I would say within 3 hours then pain comes back slowly then in real pain and I'd have to wait until its other time to take 2nd pill of percocet. I'm just sick of it. So what do I say or bring this issue up to my primary doctor when I see him on Nov. 25th?
Avatar n tn Great name, there, Oldstuff, I'm writing to echo what SS wrote to you. Seems that many Type 1 need the greater flexibility that a separate Long-acting & short-acting insulin provides. This is exactly what your son is doing by taking extra shots. Regular used to be our only choice in short-acting insulins, but now we have access to even quicker-acting insulins (Humalog & Novolog).
Avatar f tn He also had a urine infection and given antibiotic injection as well. Gorby is acting quite normal now and although he is not eating as much as usual,he is eating and drinking. He is also doing poos now.Thanks for your concern and advice.
Avatar f tn I have the same conditions going on in my left eye but luckily without any hemorrage. I received an injection with an experimental drug and will undergo another injection in a month. I am also being sent to a dermatologist for a skin biopsy to see if I have PXE. How common is this? Are there other treatments available? Can I do anything to prevent a hemorrage on the other eye? I understand I may not regain my full vision in the right eye..
Avatar f tn Blood was with drawn and Sapper was given an injection to help with any nausea she could have been experiencing. The blood test came back and nothing was abnormal, liver, kidney’s, white blood count, everything was fine. Sapper did not have a fever either. I was advised to try to feed her some white rice and boiled chicken. This was successful, however she didn’t eat much. Again today she was acting normal, running, playing with our other dog.
Avatar m tn Well will wonders never cease? Are we surprised about the information? I guess they had to spend money on something after they couldn't buy donuts for doctors offices anymore.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone Im new to this site. I started on Friday and Im afraid I waited to long after taking out the shot and injecting myself. Does anyone know how long we should leave them out or wait before injecting? I was told 15 min but it was more like 30.
1415174 tn?1453243103 Hi geminigirl1963, Well I had the cortisone shot Tuesday and after the long acting lidocaine wore off I am back to my usual pain today. So, I don't know if it isn't going to work or if it will take some time. Can it really work after a certain amount of time? I had the injection Tuesday and pain today on Friday. Oh well, I didn't expect miracles but was hoping that I would get a little relief for a couple weeks.
531467 tn?1228415363 to be sore after a progesterone injection after 15 hours? My doctor switched me from the capsule to injection yesterday. We did the injection last night and it is still sore. Sore enough that I can barely sit on my right side (where the injection was) thanks everyone.
