256161 tn?1196879046 0) I was wondering if anyone here has taken Arava (Leflunomide) and their side effects? I started it almost 3 weeks ago for the RA and Sjogrens and have started to have nausea, hair loss, skin sensitivity, burning or tingling of skin, and restless legs (already had, but much worse now), vivid dreams, and torso pain like a cramping sensation in back and sides. I have read too much bad stuff about this medicine and I am hoping someone has had a good experience with it.

Avatar n tn So I see all these posts about how HIV becomes inactive once it is exposed to air. Have there been studies or experiments that confirm this? Is it typical of an environmental or non-controlled/lab setting?

My symptoms have worsened over the past few weeks and my left leg and arm seem to be going paralyzed permanently and it continues to worsen everyday, plus a whole bag of other scary symptoms. Its to the point where I do think about the whole death spectrum a bit, since I'm getting worse so quickly.
Avatar n tn I have the same concern.. I've been on a generic - Levothyroxine - for ~9 years and have developed a head tremor over the course of the last 2. It's the same sort of tremor my mother has.

Avatar n tn She is at present involve in continuous studies and working on computer for her higher studies to the tune of 12-14 hrs per day. That much of study is required daily for getting in a good carrier like engineering at a good institute. Firstly please advise how long her eyes will carry on deteriorating ? Secondly will Continuous studies and working on computer will adversely affect her eyes ? whether she should pursue her studies in such carrier or stop that ?
Avatar f tn drying of HIV-infected human blood or other body fluids reduces the theoretical risk of environmental transmission to that which has been observed--essentially zero. Incorrect interpretation of conclusions drawn from laboratory studies have unnecessarily alarmed some people." That's why i suggest there is no risk for genital to hand to genital. Am i right,Teak or experts?

Avatar f tn Hi, I was recently diagnosed with psoriactic arthritis and the doctor put me on Arava. I've been on it for 4 weeks with no relief. In fact, the pain has increased in all of my joints and my toes have decided to join in on the fun as well. My question is has anyone had any experience with this drug in the amount of time it takes to start working? Is it usually immediate or does it take time to "build up" in your system before it begins to work?

Avatar n tn Nasal obstruction and rhinitis can be simulated by allergic and non-allergic means. Environmental allergies can lead to nasal symptoms when there is exposure. Non-allergic rhinitis can be stimulated by posture, foods, medications, environmental changes, etc. Studies have shown that nasal patency can decrease with lying down and is sensed more frequently in patients already with allergic rhinitis.
Avatar n tn I posted a thread this afternoon when I received a letter from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute In Buffalo, where Dr. Odunsi has had success with the Ovarian Cancer Vaccine.
