Just to be on the safe side. You never know... Thalidomide was once considered safe too, but the result was catastrophic!
I have been treated with several meds, including, but not limited to Iodine drops, Thalidomide, Prednisone, and topical steroids. I am now on 10 mg of Prednisone. I have been on that dosage for 6 years now, and the medication is not treating my body very nicely with weakened joints that ache, bad bruising on my arms and legs, weight gain, and a host of other problems that go with the steroid use. One of the best things for the E/N is the application of a topical steroid, Lydex cream.
Biological babies should stay in the womb until they are a yearold, I'd you compare how other mammals are at birth. But we can't give birth to babies that.
Hello,
It can be due to prurigo nodularis which is characterised by pruritic (itchy) nodules which usually appear on the arms or legs. It is very difficult to treat, but current therapies include steroids, vitamins, cryosurgery, thalidomide and UVB light. If staphylococcus or other infection is present, then antibiotics may be needed.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Hello Doctor,
My mother was diagnosed with Ova Ca stage IIIC in Jan 07, after being on 6 rounds of carbo & taxol, she had her 1st recurrence in Jan 08(6 months from treatment). She was given doxil and carbo 5 rounds. She was also put on armidex, which she took for 2 months. Her CA 125 was in single digits on completion of the doxil and carbo in May 08. In August her CA 125 started rising slowly and then in 2 weeks was up from 71 to late 980's.
thalidomide used in the past was thought safe.
The only thing I can think of would be nerve ending damage which can happen while having treatment. Ask your doctor about that. I had it and it is not nice.
No there aren't many incidents that I've heard of. If these things for pregnancies or babies are sooooo bad for us, I'm sure we'd hear more about it other then there all of a sudden on recall..... Doesn't make sense and its illegal for things to be in stores if there on recall. Every store I've been to have all these medications or anything recalled.
Hi...i wanna know that does eclipse have any effect on developing babies ...i heard that wen eclipse falls no pregnt lady should work or do something..is it true or a myth ..
An ER doc tried to give me something for nausea but I threw it away. When my doc asked if I was taking it at a regular visit I said no. All I could think of was thalidomide from the 60's (?) And all the babies born with defects. I didn't chance it.
t sit on me right, and I have areas on my thoracic area which are numb to touch. I was a thalidomide baby and have a full hip replacement to one hip.
Hi,
Prurigo nodularis is very hard to treat, but current therapies include steroids, vitamins, cryosurgery, thalidomide and UVB light. In the event that staphylococcus or other infection is present, antibiotics have proven effective.
A physician may administer a strong dose of prednisone, which will almost immediately stop the itch/scratch cycle. However, cessation of steroids allows relapse to occur, usually within a few weeks.
I'm a 20 year old female, who has recently been put on cipralex for panic attacks and anxiety. About a week ago I came out in a strange red rash on my chest. I have also been experiencing blurring vision and lightheadedness several times a day. Usually when I wake up in the morning I have had quite bad headaches which usually pass within an hour of being awake. I'm worrying whether this could be the medication or something else. Should I go to a doctor or is it anxiety related?
