Common Questions and Answers about Ddavp and platelets
ddavp
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.
I had a hemotologist rule out vonwildebrands - but they decided that I had something, but they did not know what it was - so they called it idiopathic thromocytopathy (not thrombocytopenia, which is the normal disease) as my platelets just do not clump. Before surgery I get DDAVP to clump.
I know of another Cushing's person with periods that are horrid - she gets them twice a month.
An idea... And you need not have every symptom to have Cushing's either.
I also had low iron.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
I do have historically low platelets. Does this proclude me from treating the HEP C?
Doctor told me today that the liver will heal and as it does the spleen will decrease in size and platelets will increase. It was mentioned on here that they will not happen that scar tissue will develop and I can expect not to get my platelet count to a level that I will feel good again. anyone have any knowledge why I would be getting conflicting opinions or is this just a wait and see game I'll have to play??? Thanks in advance and wishing everyone good health...
I just got my 10 week cbc results and would love some input mainly about platelets. I assume I need less or no neupogen also.
Plates - started at 149,000, now they are 45,000. How low can they safely go? Is there anything that drug that can improve your platelet count? Can it bounce back on it's own? is it at a dangerous level currently?
ANC was at 280 4 weeks ago, 710 2 weeks ago and over 6000 2 days ago. I have taken neupogen once per week for 4 weeks.
HGB- started at 14.8 now 10.
It appears that you may have cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension which causes low platelet counts and and enlarged spleen. You probably have many other complications of cirrhosis you are not aware of because they are not easy to detect. If this is the case you need to get help at a liver transplant center ASAP before your liver disease progresses further and becomes irreversible.
Low platelets in hep C patients usually indicate late stage disease. My platelets were low and my doctor told me it was because of cirrhosis from hep C. Once treated and cured my platelets rose but never reached normal again. Doctors normally don't worry about low platelets until they fall below 50,000.
I found this one look question and answer thing from a cancer patient to a doctor about neupogen causing low platelets. My doctor and others I have spoken to have said they never heard of this. Anyone have more info about it?
this is the only thing I can find that mentions neupogen and low platelets, perhaps neup just doesn't effect platelets.
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).
