My father had a brain tumor removed and now has to take a nasal spray called Desmopressin. His endocranologist only wants him to use it one time a day, but the problem is he goes to the bathroom sometimes every 15 minutes!!!! He is also on 1/2 mg of Dexamethasone and that's part of the problem. Sometimes he takes two puffs a day but the doctor doesn't want him to do that daily.

I often get subcutaneous bleeds on the side of my face, somewhere between just in front of the ear to about mid-cheek. They do not happen during the day, nor as a result of impact. I wake in the morning and notice them while shaving. They take the shape of a small blotch to a vertical bar. They darken and disappear over a few days. I have my blood pressure checked regularly and this is within normal bounds.

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.

I have a friend that’s been in the hospital for three weeks the doctors can’t seem to figure out what is wrong. They mention that it might be subcutaneous emphysema. Someone help!! He have swelling difficulty breathing. Air that is leaking from somewhere partial lung collapse etc. seems like doctors have done everything and still no answer.
Sometimes with injuries, air can get trapped underneath the skin in the subcutaneous layers, leading to trapping of air, a crackling feeling. This is called subcutaneous emphysema. Check with your doctor to rule out this condition.
Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Ive had these bumps on my feet that have also been referred to as subcutaneous nodules by my GP.Started five years ago and every summer they really "come out" Was referred to a dermatologist and have seen one a year for the last five years. I was given two biopsies over this time period, checked specifically for HIV, lichen planus(hep c), and fungal. Negative for all three but results did show a "lymphohistiocytic inflammatory cell infiltrate".
If still the symptoms persist then medical treatment with desmopressin, imipramine and anticholinergics can be tried.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
I agree. I forgot to check for bubbles/blood on one of my previous shots too and I'm still alive :) Once you make that kind of "oopsy", chances are you won't do it again. I do hope you sterilized the area first.
