humira

Avatar m tn As there was no improvement. Doctor adviced to have Exemptia (Adalimumab) injection. 4 injections (40mg 8ml) was given. Next day he was having stomach pain, tight and rigid stomach, and fast breathing. He was immediately admitted in the nearby hospital and doctor found he was suffering from megacolon (toxic colon). After taking x-ray and CT scan, it was found that there was perforation in his stomach.
Avatar n tn Yesterday my rheumatologist has finally decided to give me something other than anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants for my list of symptoms which he has decided are due to either Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis (Palindromic Rheumatism was mentioned too) or possibly all of the above, with a side order of Fibromyalgia. Just wondering if anyone here has taken Humira (Adalimumab) as I've read about it and am freaking out a bit!
Avatar m tn Yes, Humira will indirectly help in controlling diarrhea and digestion. Let me explain this. Humira or adalimumab is a biological response modifier and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blocker. Thus, in Crohn’s it will modify your body’s response to disease (bloating, tenderness, diarrhea, indigestion etc). This is because any immune mediated disease like Crohn’s produces excess of an inflammatory protein called TNF-alpha, which causes cellular damage along with pain and inflammation.
Avatar n tn As most of us know Humira (adalimumab) reduces the effects of a substance in the body that can cause inflammation. Common Humira side effects may include: headache; nausea; cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sinus pain, sneezing, sore throat; rash; or redness, bruising, ITCHING, or swelling where the injection was given. So what you are experiencing is not unusual - however I think you should give your MD a call as Sherry also suggested. He/she needs to know about your reaction.
184420 tn?1326739808 Like snowflakes, two hcv virions rarely look exactly the same. However, at one end of those 9600 nucleotides is a stretch of sequence that is much more conserved. In a standard genotyping test a bit of that conserved stretch, (the 5' utr) is amplified and categorized: many copies of it are made and some property, like weight, is used to classify the result into type/subtype buckets.
Avatar m tn While it is antihistaminics, topical and oral steroids for eczema and antifungal for fungal infection, the treatment of psoriasis that have been approved by FDA are adalimumab and Xtrac Velocity excimer laser system. Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol, corticosteroids, fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues and retinoids have been routinely used. So before using any treatment it is advisable to consult a dermatologist. I hope it helps.
1475492 tn?1332884167 AX T2 CISS 3D is a SIEMENS MAGNETOM sequence designed for looking at the Cranial Nerves and Brain Stem. CISS stands for "Constructive Interference Steady State" and it is a simulated T2 MRI sequence. Most of the time, this is used for CSF Flow studies, Brain Stem exams, etc.
Avatar f tn HCV also accumulates sequence changes as a result of ‘neutral’ sequence drift over time and this process, rather than the adaptive changes, accounts for much of the sequence diversity that is observed between its different genotypes. Virus sequence change The evolution of viruses resembles that of all organisms; it is a process that is ultimately dependent on mutations in their genetic material.
824276 tn?1238853027 Have had MS for 10yrs. On T2 and FLair sequence,there is high signal within the periventricular white matter.Many of these lesions are perpendicular to the ventric. surface. On the sagittal Flair sequence there is thinning of the corpus callosum. Normal flow voids are identified at the skull base. High signal is seen within the right paramidline,mid and posterior pons,and in the left parmidline porterior midbrain.
Avatar m tn My wife recently found out she has 3 mutations on her TNN ?genome/sequence? She was born with a muscle myopathy, and has heart an respiratory issues. If you do have a TNN mutation I am looking for 3 things: -a link to a "normal" TNN sequence -What health issues do you currently experience? -where in the sequence is your mutation?
Avatar f tn Taper off the steroids to low potency ones after consulting your dermatologist. The drugs that have been approved by FDA are adalimumab and Xtrac Velocity excimer laser system. Apart from that, topical medications like emollients, creams containing coal tar, dithranol (anthralin), corticosteroids like desoximetasone (Topicort), fluocinonide, vitamin D3 analogues (for example, calcipotriol), and retinoids have been routinely used. Phototherapy containing UV A has also been employed.
Avatar m tn What sequence does HIV symptoms follow? I had a body rash, 2 weeks later I developed a fever that lasted 2 days. Following the fever, the next day I noticed that my groin lymph nodes were swollen and painful and disappeared 3 days later. I ordered a self-test kit, I tested negative but I'm not satisfied especially since after learning that some of these kits could fail. Please what sequence does the symptoms follow?
Avatar m tn I've noticed that the chronological ordering of last posts is out of sequence. For example in one forum I frequent the last posts are listed in the following order. It makes it a little difficult to follow the new questions.
Avatar f tn Firstly, viruses tend to have a high mutation rate so that selection pressure in the form of drug treatment may promote the growth of resistant strains. In the case of DNA viruses the problem is less the emergence of new sequence variants, but particularly growth of those RNAi trigger-mismatched populations that may pre-exist in the pool of sequences at the time the drug is first given. Combination treatment with a powerful nuke would prevent the outgrowth of such strains.
6843062 tn?1387857703 Also, if need be you an take aminosalicylates under expert guidance as this group of drugs does not affect the baby either in mother’s womb or during breast feeding. Biologic drugs such as adalimumab (Humira) and infliximab (Remicade) can also be started later in pregnancy. Discuss this with your doctor. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
10175413 tn?1427170251 d this year with Ankylosing spondylitis. Been treating several months with Adalimumab - not terribly impressed. Get better relief from anti-inflammatory and chiropractic. Probably not related to my HCV tx, but find it interesting that Rheumy doc wants me to do PCRs for HCV - even after 12+ years sustained response - while doing the Adalimumab immunosuppressant.
Avatar m tn Great forum! Priceless, and I love it! Had PVC's for 10 years, and it recently turned ugly. Had an endless bout of it, with weakness and cold sweats. Went to emgy room, transferred to heart hospital. They did an angiogram, which was OK, then gave me a pacemaker the next day. The doctors said I have "sick sinus syndrome", or brady-tachy, and occasional V-fib... or maybe it's V-tachy. (his words).
Avatar n tn I'm not understanding what kind of MRI you had. I think to in any way comment on your post, you need to provide more information about your MRI experience. Why was it ordered and who ordered it? How did you get your report? T1 & T2 are just MS sequences, the sequence the MRI radiologists puts into the machine to have to start. So if T1 & T2 sequences were not used, what sequence was? The T1 sequence is often used with DYE, but it can be used without dye also.
Avatar f tn Though non steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAID) and steroids are the gold standard of treatment, more emphasis should be laid on physical and occupational therapy, rest, heat pads and use of assistive devices for walking. Biological response modifiers like etanercept, leflunomide (used less often), adalimumab, or infliximab can be added in consultation with doctor.
Avatar m tn 5 mcg/actuation, and Wixela (fluticasone propionate salmeterol inhalation powder) for my COPD. Is there a sequence I should be taking these meds in? Is there a time frame I should use between the two meds?
Avatar n tn If you take them correctly (in the right sequence and at the same time of day, every day), the chance of pregnancy is considered to be very low. It should give that information on your pill packet insert.
Avatar f tn Few types of masses may appear bright/ dull depending on the etiology and the sequence used in imaging. Some tumours may also have a characteristic description on each sequence, which helps to differentiate it from other masses. Hope this information is helpful. Take care!
367831 tn?1284258944 As you may have noticed, some older posts are appearing up front in the forum and some recen posts may be burried in page (whatever). These posts are not in sequence as we know them. As I understand, MedHelp is aware of the situation and apologizes for any inconvenience. The posts date sequence disruption was the direct result of a widespread spammer who hit the site this morning. MedHelp is working to reset the posts as soon as possible.
