Common Questions and Answers about Ddavp and hemophilia

ddavp

Avatar f tn When I first started using DDAVP ~9 years ago i had to weigh myself every day and measure my input and urine output to get the "hang" of it. The rule was if I gained more than two pounds in day I was to cut back on my fluid intake and dose. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Mine is partial so it ebbs and flows a bit and I do have to adjust my DDAVP dose sometimes. Without DDAVP my fluid consumption is 4 or more gallons a day. At first, I kept a fluid intake and output diary. Also I weighed myself every morning to see if I was taking to much medication and/or not consuming the right amount of fluids. And yes, for me the best approach has ended up to take DDAVP just at night so that I can sleep without having to get up every 1/2 hour to drink and pee.
Avatar m tn Hi, Do not feel embarrassed, such problems are quite common and doctors are there to help you. So, do consult a urologist and get appropriate treatment. Here is a link that gives a lot of details about this problem: http://www.nafc.
Avatar n tn t know about this.. Check with child24angel - her son is also hemophilia with HCV and she might have those answers.
Avatar f tn I had unprotected sex with an ex boyfriend. I was tested after we broke up and I didn't have anything as of then. 2 months later is when I had unprotected sex with him, one time, and he did not ejaculate. I'm not even sure if he'd been with anyone since we broke up, but I wont trust him even if he says he hadn't. I know it was a really stupid thing to do, and all I can think of is how I've put my own life at risk by making a really stupid decision.
Avatar n tn Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had these symptoms or has any idea of what to do. Someone very close to me has been suffering w/ dizziness and extreme tiredness all the time. Not like the room is spinning, but sort of an out of reality feeling with blurred vision. He is a 35 year old male who has severe hemophilia. He has been to the eye doctor(they wear glasses/contacts) but the Dr. said they were fine. Other blood tests have come back normal.
Avatar n tn My daughter is 13 years old and has always & still struggles with bed wetting. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 1.5 years ago. Her endocrinologist does not believe the wetting has to do with her diabetes. If her blood sugars are high before she goes to bed we can almost be 100% sure she will have a wet bed, but most times her sugars are in range and she might still wet. She has also gone through many test on her bladder and all is normal.

1926656 tn?1334970201 #2 because I get so exhausted so fast they thought getting it done all at once would be easier. I LOVE the hematologist and the hemophilia center, they were awesome! The mf specialist took forever to get ahold of me. I actually had to call them!! Then they said "we'll have to find your chart". On hold for 10 mins. She came back and said my chart was buried in the back (wtf?). Also the earliest they'll see me is in 3 weeks.
Avatar m tn I ADORE collies, they are my breed of choice and I just got a puppy a month or so ago after I lost my sable and white female, Katie, last May. I'd love to see pics!
Avatar m tn ve had a bleeding disorder that no one could pin point they thought was Von wildibrands but they never were quite sure, they just know I have a low platelet count and I bleed and bruise easy, not hemophilia. Also on top of this My monocytes were high and my TSH was high in the high 4s but my T4 and T3 was normal. Everything else perfect. My hands gets cold and I have constant migraines. My doctor pretty much said I'm not sure what's wrong and she wants to monitor me. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn m 17yrs old I had a tumor that was attached to the pituitary gland when I was 12 it was removed partially the rest was removed with chemo and radiation due to being attached to my eyes. when I was 15 it came back I had chemo and radiation and it was gone now I had an MRI done and apperantly my doc sees what can be scar tissue or the tumor again. Can some one explain what scar tissue is and if it's in any way bad for me or it's long term side effects please and thank you!!!
Avatar m tn Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old. According to the Food and Drug Administration, nasal spray formulations of Desmopressin (Noctiva, others) are no longer recommended for treatment of bed-wetting due to the risk of serious side effects. Again, however, I can't stress enough that your friend should be checked by the GP, as an adult , this can signal other issues that need fairly prompt attention.
Avatar f tn I have been having light bleeding since November 8, along with really bad pelvic pain, blood clots, bloating, fatigue, weakness, and feeling like I am getting sick. I have used a nasal spray (DDAVP) for three weeks, but the bleeding did not stop. I tried doubling up on the nasal spray since I was prescribed the wrong strength, but it did not help. I had my second Depo Provera shot on December 7. I thought it would help make the bleeding stop, but I am still bleeding.
Avatar f tn Both of these proteins are important for blood clotting. Synthetic versions of these clotting factors can help treat hemophilia and reduce the risk of serious bleeding, including severe bruises. When a genetic bleeding disorder causes easy bruising, it is also possible that the person may bleed to excess or even experience life-threatening hemorrhages. The symptoms do not appear suddenly.
Avatar f tn I go through bouts of what seems like diabetes insipidus, but i am having to pee every 20-30 minutes, and my bladder is pretty full---and I'm not drinking fluids. it will last a couple of hours, and then quit. i haven't figured out what is going on---but i do have hypopituitarism.
Avatar m tn s who did not contract aids from bad blood transfusions. So over the years I grew and led a normal life. No one ever knew I had hemophilia unless I let them know. Anyway as I got older I continued playing sports. A year and a half ago I was playing pick up basketball. I tore my ACL in the process. Well I had to have surgery and in doing so I needed blood products. They came in with a weird look on their face stating that I had tested positive for Hep C. I was blown away, I was like what?
Avatar m tn anyway, he always suffers inability to inhale through his nose, frequent headaches and he also experiences severe bleeding from the nose and sometimes the mouth, often leading to ordering him some donated blood... mmy question is: what might this be??!!! and was is/are the possible cures???? thank u all!!
Avatar m tn These conditions include hemophilia, sickle cell disease, and pigmented villonodular synovitis. All of these conditions all blood to accumulate within the joint causing swelling and pain. Several conditions can cause bleeding within a joint leading to joint inflammation, or arthritis. I did't believe his words,after that I go through google and found a review site "joint health magazine". This site clarified all of my doubts.
Avatar f tn One example is albinism. Another would be hemophilia. Cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay Sachs are other types of recessive characteristics. A talk with a genetic counselor could shed some light on the more likely possibilites. Many problems can be tested for prenatally with amniocentesis and genetic testing. Many others can't. Hope this information is useful!
895634 tn?1283989210 I had so many obstacles (HIV, cirrhosis, hemophilia, low platelets, chronic nausea, 35 lb weight loss, a painful kidney stone, and an unsupportive spouse soon to be an ex spouse). I only missed a handful of workdays mostly for appts. For some reason the last week was the hardest side effect wise. Wish you all healthy and happy futures. I'll check in from time to time.
Avatar f tn she will have 4 packets of oatmeal and a glass of milk in the am. Another possible symptom is nocturnal enuresis. She is on DDAVP at night .05 mg X approx. 4 months. If I remember to wake her up around 2am she may be dry, before the DDAVP she was going through 2 goodnights diapers a night... if I didn't change it midway she and the bed would be completely soaked. Anyway, her Thyroid was hyperactive, and she is allergic to Milk and Eggs (she did have hives when we were at the Dr).
Avatar m tn ive never went this much during the night..i had to go get on some meds called ddavp to slow it down so i can sleep..
Avatar n tn My question is if this is necessary to put her right away on such an expensive tablet, if there is any other way to treat incontinence, how can he diagnose a missing hormone(sorry for my poor language) with a simple blood or urine test and can DDAVP be taken along with other drugs, in particular Clavamox.
