539209 tn?1225972263 m curently taking a significant amount of pain medication for a facial neurological problem and i have ust been diagnosed with anemia. I am taking 300mg Lyrica, 200mg Tegretol, 50mg OxyContin and 30mg Valium...could this have caused the anemia?
975514 tn?1324997938 The reason I ask is because I am not completely comfortable with my diagnosis of fibromyalgia. I have some of the symptoms, but I feel as though I may have fallen under the care of a doctor who diagnoses anyone who walks into her office with pain with "fibromyalgia." I have also been diagnosed with sciatica, DDD, degenerative facet arthritis, nerve dysfunction, and mild scoliosis.
Avatar f tn I use Tramadol or ULTRAM It seems to work for me PERFECTLY --- it's like an advil for me with a little stronger "OOMPH"... I guess would be a good description. It turned my life around and I can function now.
Avatar f tn my doctor keeps prescribing me NSAIDS even after I told him they really irriatate my stomach He'll just prescribe me another one. The medicine he keeps prescribing me first doesn't work and secondly make me have to go to the bathroom like 6 times a day when i do take them. I really don't know what to to. I'm in pain and my doctor keeps prescribing me things that put me in more pain.
Avatar n tn I am going to have a consultation about having plastic surgery. I take ibrufoen a lot and I'm fine. I have been on several NSAID prescriptions and if I just have one dose i'm totally fine. If i take it on a regular basis (every 6 hours 2 or 3 times in a row) I get a rash on my arms and neck and really bad diarrhea. My throat doesn't close up or anything like that. When i'm asked if I'm allergic to anything, do say I am allergic to NSAIDS?
1176841 tn?1330832460 A CT or an MRI with adjusted pulse sequences and other parameters are more acceptable options. With bleeding/ platelet issues NSAIDS are typically avoided since they tend to have anti-platelet action with cumulative doses. However, a few other medications with little or no anti-platelet action such as steroids may be suitable in such situations. It would be best to discuss alternative anti-inflammatory medications and possible causes with your treating doctor for appropriate management.
Avatar n tn My son has been on warfarin since he was 7 weeks old due to having a mechanical Mitral valve replacement. His INR today is 4.8. The highest it's ever been.He is six months now and just starting solids which may be why the INR has been all over the place. I have been instructed to withhold his dose tonight and I'll test him again tomorrow. I've been doing some reading that INR of 4.8 is undesirable but not overly dangerous. Is that the case for babies as well?
Avatar m tn t see how they could treat with warfarin under those circumstances. Anyone taking warfarin must be monitored routinely with a PT to check clotting factor. Warfarin can be some nasty stuff but if reduces fibrosis what the heck. They've thrown every other drug at us and we still keep bouncing back. Thanks for the info.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your answer. My cardiologist mentioned stopping the warfarin and going with lovenox for 3 days prior to a catherization but said there was no need to stop taking plavix.
Avatar f tn I have recently been put on Warfarin for Paroxysmal Atrial Fib. I feel miserable and anxious on this drug. They continue to up my dose, 11mg. at present. I have decided to quit the Warfarin but wonder how to go about this. Do I quit cold turkey or taper off? Anyone else has quit Warfarin and how did you do it?
Avatar f tn I have been on plavix for years with no problem but this warfarin is messing with me big time. I have been dealing with migraines for a couple weeks and after the first dose it seemed to help..even when i got up i felt much better not like my whole circulation was contricted like it normally does...same this morning...but i also had a headache yesterday that felt different that developed..
351404 tn?1299489130 I hate the idea of both a pacemaker and also Warfarin with all those blood tests - it makes my hair fall out and softens fingernails also, but no one has so far suggested ablation which seems to be more favoured in America from what I read.
Avatar f tn As far as the calcium or Vitamin D I do not know of any effect on those vitamins from taking warfarin. I will also check with my pharmacist per Sassie's suggestion.
Avatar n tn Sorry you had so many problems with warfarin. For people with a-fib such as yourself, there are more options than there are for mech valve patients, if for some reason warfarin is not tolerable. But I have to stick by my statement that the side effects you experienced are not what is expected, usual, or common with warfarin.
Avatar f tn 9 (should be between 2-3) and then when I saw a lady Spanish doctor I told her I had diarrhea she said I could not go back on the Warfarin because its dangerous with diarrhea, I must continue with injections, I objected saying but it is the injection making me have diarrhea. She refused but put me on different injections Hibor. Instructing me to take injections only for 5 days and then injection and Warfarin for 4 days before going to my local clinic.
Avatar n tn Evidently it is considered to be relatively safe, but as with all herbal medications, it should be used with caution. This herb may be contraindicated in individuals with active bleeding (eg, peptic ulcer, intracranial bleeding). Use with caution in individuals with a history of bleeding, hemostatic disorders, or drug-related hemostatic problems.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I also need to have a colonoscopy done in the near future. I had to have a D&C last year and I went through quite a bit of angst and confusion as to whether or not I had to stop taking warfarin. The gynecologist said it was up to the cardiologist; the cardiologist said it was up to the gynecologist. It was very upsetting and I was totally upset with both doctors.
Avatar n tn Warfarin interferes with the healing of the plaque in the vessels. Usually, warfarin can be taken for 3 to 6 months. But it depends on the clinical judgment of the surgeons.
