Avatar n tn ve seen info to suggest that for patients with renal failure, it is preferred to do monotherapy (interferon alone), because the ribavirin can enhance the renal problems. Of course, you would want to talk to your doctor about this. Post transplant patients (renal) are frequently warned away from treating due to fear of causing the tp to fail. Here's a link and abstract: http://cjasn.asnjournals.

Here I would focus on the cyp 3a, because the telaprevir or boceprevir are also reliant on this cytochrome. Meaning this cytochrome will have plenty to do while you are treating. My SUGGESTIONS to the patients, and the high risk or late stage patients especially would be 1.
Avatar f tn I just found I was approved for Sovaldi but the Olysio is contingent upon the Q80K results. I guess the doctor wanted to wait to see if I was approved for the Sovaldi first, but it doesn't really better. I'll go in for the test on Monday and am just wondering how long it takes to find out. I'm 1a. I suppose I'm kind of in shock because I really don't believe I was approved for the Sovaldi, or else my mind is waiting to see if the Olysio is even possible.
551683 tn?1220656108 A TENS unit is a portable device you can wear on your belt or whatever. It has pads and wires. To the best of my knowledge, it sends vibrating pulses through the wires to the muscles where you put the pads. I guess you could compare it to what is sometimes used in physical therapy. (that's where I learned about it) You can control the intensity of the pulses. When they used one on my shoulders at PT, it really helped a lot. I know a portable unit is not the same, but works similarly.
551683 tn?1220656108 I wondered if anyone has a TENS unit? My doc. gave me a scrip for one, but I haven't checked on it yet. My thought is that it would help those big muscles across my upper back that hurt SOOOOOOO bad. Any thoughts on these TENS units?

Avatar f tn I have PAD as well as pain in legs from fibromyalgia. Would a TENS unit be safe and probably helpful for my leg pain (especially calves)?
1306714 tn?1327257080 Just wanted to let you know I went and had the TENS unit explained to me today and she put it on. She couldn't believe how swollen my neck was and could understand why there was so much pain. She said I should notice a difference since this unit bring's now swelling. I'm so anxious to get some relieve. I'll keep you updated on how it is working. She said to use it 30min. It auto. shut's off wait an hour and turn it on again. So I am waiting for my 2nd treatment.

Avatar f tn I live in the UK and I am planning on giving birth in a maternity unit, there are only 8 midwifes that work there and they dont do epidurals and stuff that a hospital do, this is my first pregnancy, am I in for a shock with the amount of pain i'll be in? Also, if the baby is healthy then I am allowed to give birth and go home as soon as I want, I just want to go in, give birth and maybe rest a few hours then go home, what should I pack?
