He said something like how the hypothalmus gets in shock at first from the trauma and needs DDAVP, but then it recovers. Now in your case (just as mine), I know what you mean when you say you go to the bathroom alot AND get thirsty when off the pill, as do I. But see, when you urinate ALOT, you will get thirsty...And, it's possible that one on this pill can be urinating alot when the next dose is near, because that dose is waring off. Which means, the retained water, is being released!
I know that, I have gained 50 pounds in the past four years. When I stopped the DDAVP, I dropped 15 in 10 days. When I went on the water pill I dropped 10 in seven days. But that came back again when I stopped the water pill. It was a double edge sword, it made me feel thirsty because I was going so much. I can loose or gain up to 7 pounds in 24 hours and it is really hard on the self esteem button. How did you end up with this? Did you have a removal of a pituitary tumor?
Hello I'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!!!
I have Hepatitis C with Hemophilia-a. I was wondering if I should be taking Centrum Silver? This is the only Centrum that does not have Iron. I was taking regular Centrum that did have iron while I was on treatment. Also are there any other good vitamin supplements?
Also, does having hemophilia put me at a higher risk of getting it through sexual contact? I can only find information about blood transfusions regarding HIV and hemophiliacs.

I am now experiencing great amount of pain in my back and can hardly walk. I postponed going back to work for another two weeks in hopes to feel better. I am going to take your advice regarding the DDAVP I might be getting too much. I dont think I have had the growth hormone stim test. What is it exactly? a blood test? I am desperate. I really think I need more hormones but can't seem to find a doctor that will. For how long have you had the Diabetes?
Thank you for your help!
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.
i dont know im just kind of iffed out about it especially since i have hemophilia and am a very slow healer. Anything anyone would mind sharing about your epesiotomy/ripping experience?
Unexplained bruising of the arms can be caused by medication, liver disease, bone marrow cancer, and hemophilia. It also common with illness that affects platelets, like thrombocytopenia.
The right move is to take your boy to the doctor -- an pediatrician or internist , who will need to make blood tests to diagnose the problem.
Best wishes for your boy.
Blood( red liquid) slowly seeps out of stool in toilet water. My colonoscopy was ok. Dr says a small fissure, another Dr says- no because I have no pain. I have been to three Drs to try to discover what is this, where does it come from. . FOBT is negative. Blood work is ok.
Three times have had mid abdominal pain, very severe lasting 3-4 days. No relief after BM. but several throughout the day and evening. Which is a change for me.

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?
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. Be sure to carefully follow instructions for using this drug.
Desmopressin is given orally as a tablet and is only for patients over 5 years old.
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? How could that be, I was tested 3 times a year by my doctor since I was a kid. They informed me that just because I tested positive didnt mean I had it. They had to test further.
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?
However, if the family carries any recessive genes, and most do, there is a much higher than normal chance for these genes to be expressed in this situation. 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.
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).
