ddavp for dic

How do you wean off the medicine DDAVP? I've been taking this medicine for many years only to find out my tests say I don't need it (I had small injury to pituitary in brain). Unfortunately I find it almost impossible to wean off because it makes you go to the bathroom ALOT after the medicine ware's off! since it's an anti diuretic/water retaining pill! Confusing and tricky.

DDAVP, Stimate, Minirin) is a synthetic replacement for vasopressin, the hormone that reduces urine production. It may be taken nasally, or as a tablet. Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.

So i been through the run of the mill with drs for all this. Since last year i been having chest pains and sometimes arm neck back. The chest pain comes and goes sometimes better than other days. Usually stabbing pain either omn the left right or center it moves around. There are times if i move my body i can make it worst. The other thing i notice lately is when i get these pains sometimes i have a burning from my throat to my stomach.

Well u take a test and if you are you are and if your not you should see a dic there is too much that can delay a period but if your that late it would be posative

My question is I have asked her endocrinologist to prescribe DDAVP for her to take during several camps she has this summer. He will not because of a chance she could have a seizure. I can't remember the exact reason but it does have to do with her diabetes and how DDAVP interact in a diabetic's body. He said the chance is very low, but possible. Could you give me your thoughts on a Type 1 diabetic using DDAVP.

ve already had one surgery for a CSF leak and am going back to California in May for another round of testing to see if it has come back and they can pinpoint it- I dunno if you have this though just throwing it out at you since you are in the process of being diagnosed. Hope you feel better.

How long did it take for your diabetes insipidus to resolve? how long did it take for your doctor to prescribe testosterone? My endo refuses to prescribed the testosterone as he says that should recover by itself, however I am exhausted all day. I am on ddavp (sublingual pill) and 10mg of prednisone.

I don’t take it regularly because I find it hard for me to balance out between hypo and hyper. I become tired with it. I always try to minimize stress as much as possible, laugh as much as possible, because I know stress make this disease worse and I’ve experienced it quite well if I got stressed out. Is it right that hormone insufficiencies can only be noticeable or come into effect sometime later.

We have a 7 year old colllie just diagnosed with Diabetes Insipetes (nephrogenic). Vet recommends treatment with ddavp eye drop. All the information we can find says that this is "very expensive". Can you give us a ballpark of what this actually means for annual cost of care? What are the implications of leaving this untreated if she has on going access to fresh clean water?

t know anything about this, but I believe everything happens for a reason, for you to fall pregnant whilst on bc after such a scary ordeal in my opinion means you are supposed to have a child.

I went for a walk last night and I had to stop several times because it hurt my privates so bad. This was a very slow walk I wasn't out of breath sweating etc I waited til it was cool out but the pain/pressure literally made me stopped.

Hello~First, your friend needs to be examined by the GP, there could be some reasons for this such as Diabetes, urinary track issues, infections, or other issues with the kidneys and/or bladder. There is a drug called Desmopressin (DDAVP) it reduces urine production at night. But drinking too much liquid with the medication can cause problems, and Desmopressin should be avoided if you have symptoms such as a fever, diarrhea or nausea.

The tumor was germinoma. Yes u are right it was the optic nerve. I don't know for sure if my pituitary gland still functions I take ddavp, I also took growth hormones in the past and I take l cortef. But I'm not sure. Thanks so much I have a docs visit soon and Ill ask him more about my tumor. Thanks again for your help. And about the scar tissue he wants another MRI and then him and other docs will decide to do a biopsy or something els.

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 have also tried a estrogen pill I was prescribed, but it has not helped. I know I will have light bleeding on the Depo Provera, but is it normal to be bleeding for 37 days?

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced diabetes insipidus? The reason for the test is because I have been extremely thirsty and urinating almost every 1.5 hours a day. I received a copy of the test results. They tested my ADH level (arginine vasopressin) The results are L<1.0 Range:1.0-13.3 They say there are different types of diabetes insipidus, basically that the kidneys are doing what they are supposed to do or a pituitary issue.

Yes. You can be one centimeter for weeks! I was with my first as well!

So am 36 weeks I wanted to know if douching is safe I have a dic appt on fri but thought that u lady's can answer my question

I did have to stop taking ativan (which I took for sleep) and I had to stop taking nortriptyline (for nerve pain). The nortriptyline, especially, can interfere with limb development. My pain is also caused by ruptured discs. I have disc problems from L1-S1 (all 4 levels) and have had 3 surgeries with no luck. I should tell you that acupuncture has really helped me. You do have to go consistently...but you may want to think about it.

My girlfriend and i have been dating for over three years now and in the time that i have known her she has always had problems with stomach pain and headaches. These of course being general symptoms that are always prevelent out of the mass that exists. I think she may have an overactive thyroid because of the symptoms that she has and that perhaps it is causing other problems as well.

You should be in the hands of a pediatric endocrinologist for her care, let them decide about the ddavp, this may be masking or exacerbating some of her symptoms.

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..
