Note that I did not use a fan or respirator. I worked with the stuff for hours in close proximity (had a small paint brush and was mixing it and brushing it on surfaces). The days I worked with it were also hot, close to or above 100 F.
I later went back to the MSDS of the epoxy and noticed that it was in fact composed of 2 MSDS sheets, one for the epoxy resin and the other for the epoxy hardener.
Ask your ophthalmologist about putting you on a steroid drop like lotemax for several weeks to stop the cyclosporin burning.

Is Cyclosporin a steroid ? My consultant has advised against steroids previously as I had Herpes Simplex Keratitis a few months ago which she said steroids could stir up again. The HSK was very painful and definitely don't want that again although she has warned ne it can reaccur.
Even with ceseation of cyclosporin and a decrease in viral load a reading of 1,142,00 IU/mL is considered high.
Importantly here is your daughter currently has minimal liver damage and will be having iron chelation therapy to prevent fibrosis acceleration. The BMT was succesful and that aspect of her health is under control . As time passes, the only thing that will confirm the presence of active HCV is an HCV RNA by PCR.
You will need to be careful with any chemical that has a health rating of 2 or above - you can get this information from the MSDS sheet. You can assume that the health hazard to you, also applies to your baby.
Halogenated solvents, aromatic solvents, hydrocarbons, short chain alcohols (methanol), ethers etc. are all potential risks - be especially careful w/ the more volatile compounds (methylene chloride, diethyl ether etc..).
Please do talk to your doctor about your exposure to these chemicals and ask for additional testing of your lungs (actually, a good assessment of your entire body would not be a bad idea) especially since you are having problems with breathing.
I am not a doctor, just a concerned RN....like I said, please go to your doctor, write everything down as to what you were exposed to (bring those MSDS sheets along).
Good luck...
we have a lead acid battery installed in our bathroom and there always persists a caustic like odour, somewhat acidic like odor and after i bathe i cough for sometime and also feel fatigued and burning sensation through my colon , i never had this problem earlier and i was not concerned initially but as i came to know about battery emissions i felt consulting, can it be due to inhaling ACIDIC FUMES i am more worried than being concerned about my health.
My ophthalmologist recently prescribed restasis for dry eyes. I read that cyclosporin can causes cancer. Is this true? Are these drops safe?
Over 24 hours ago, I was disassembling a computer. The finger on my left hand had prolonged exposure to Artic Silver 5. This is a thermal paste used between the cpu and fan. I washed my hands thoroughly a few hours after exposure. I googled the compound and all the company recommends after exposure is washing. However, my left thumb is still numb where it was exposed. Today is Sunday, is it worth going to Urgent Care?
thinking of occupational, prolonged daily exposure, if not have come across it - know of a theoretical reason why liver could be damaged by these chemicals? or what sort of damage you would see?
Cyclosporin (brand name Atopica) is a relatively new oral medication which can be used as a non-steroid way to reduce allergic skin inflammation and itching. It is helpful in approximately 80% of allergic dogs to control itch. Cyclosporin is given orally daily for 4-6 weeks, then the dose and frequency is slowly decreased to the lowest possible dose needed for comfort.
Also, as a result of being on such a high dose of cyclosporin I tended to feel very sick for 2-4 hours after taking the medicine (fever like symptoms). If I did not carefully avoid sick people I would become extremely ill and even at one point was hospitalize for 4 days because my immune system grew so weak. Infections began to appear on my legs over time and I began to take antibotics along with the cyclosporin.

Both my wife and I have very dry eyes and both of us have been on Restasis (cyclosporin) for years with excellent results. I understand from postings from the UK this is difficult to get there.
He told us to wait till the cyclosporin is stopped. When the cyclosporin was stopped, we waited for 45 days and had a HCV quantitative done. It was 1420000IU/ML ie 88% less than the last test conducted and SGOT/SGPT levels were 60/109. I had also gone through some articles on HCV which stated that out of 100 people who gets infected, 15 will get rid of the virus without any treatment.
The ER doctor diagnosed me with Herpes Keratitis yesterday. I had been taking Restasis(Cyclosporin eye drops BID) and had many of the symptoms of side effects of that drug including low neutraphils, redness and swelling of eyelids, itching, feeling of foreign object in my eye, pain on administration of drops.
I believe this is a drug reaction not Herpes Keratitis. What do you think?
He is on Prednizone and Cyclosporin. She raised the Cyclosporin level to 800mg twice a day. When she raised his meds before, he started turning jaundice. Now at 800 mg twice a day he has become more jaundice. She refuses to change the medication or even think that it could be the medication causing this. How can tell if it is the medication? If it is, how can I get her to change the medications? What can I do?
