Avatar f tn Once the docter spoke to us he told us they dont have a diagnosis. And he said that the platelets are forcing the blood to the surfice but not above the skin but under. After 2 days pass they release her from the hospital. Now it is Wednesday and we have an appointment with a Dermatologist tomarrow. My mother has chronics pain. Heres the list of medications she takes. Cymbalta, Oxycottin, and they made her stop taking her lipitor. The Rash looks very bad. I have a picture of it.
Avatar f tn Less common side effects include cardiac arrhythmias, blurry or double vision and/or the temporary loss of blood cells or platelets and in rare cases can cause aplastic anemia. Carbamazepine may cause SIADH (syndrome of inappropriate anti-diuretic hormone), since it both increases the release and potentiates the action of ADH (vasopressin).This raises blood pressure by inducing moderate vasoconstriction. Thus you could say it is an indirect side-effect of tegretol. ref:http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn cj's response was excellent, but I wanted to give you the description of Niravam that Ryan, who is sort of our resident pharmacist, gave to someone on June 10th. You can find that post and read it for yourself, but here are his exact words regarding Niravam: "NIRAVAM IS IDENTICAL TO IMMEDIATE-RELEASE XANAX. THE ONLY ADDITIONAL BENEFIT OF NIRAVAM IS THAT IT IS AN ORALLY-DISINTEGRATING WAFER. THE ONSET OF ACTION IS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FASTER WITH NIRAVAM.
Avatar m tn Hello How high are your platelets. Platelets are responsible for clot formation in the blood vessels. Thrombocytosis or abnormally high platelets usually manifests as clots in the blood vessels which can cause areas of decreased oxygen in various organs of the body. This can result in pain in these areas. It would be unusual for this to cause joint pain.The treatment for elevated platelet is to be on an agent like aspirin to prevent excessive clotting.
Avatar f tn Ask your doctor if you can take vitamin B12 suppliments to make up for these ever dropping platelets. B12 helps produce red blood cells, but as we all learned in high school, platelets are within our blood stream :) It doesn't need to be prescribed to you, but I'd ask just in case hun :) Good luck!
Avatar f tn Essentially Platelets are the glue that holds the blood together. Google it. Low platelets means thinner blood. 44 is very low, normal range is around 150-250. Yes, avoid a serious cut, and definitely avoid head injury or any actions that might cause one. If either happens, call a doctor ASAP. Try to stick in there, with so little time left to go it would be a shame not to complete if all possible. What's your virus count?
Avatar n tn The initial cause is damage to your artery linings which can be through blood pressure or bad diet. I would read up on the causes of heart disease and try to understand the different processes involved. Too many people are fighting the last stage instead of the first.
Avatar f tn m 23 weeks pregnant and I just got out of the emergency room a couple days ago for a kidney infection while I was there they held me longer because I have low blood platelets that really scares me have any of you experienced low platelets? How do I raise my platelets count?
493068 tn?1224765315 I completed Interferon-Ribavirin-Neupogen 2 years ago in Feb...My WBC, RBC, Platelets, and Absolute neutrophil counts have been down most of the time since completing 48 weeks. I was to have cervical surgery for severe stenosis this week but they did my lab work 2 times last week and cancelled the surgery. I know it is very dangerous for bleeding or hematoma of spinal cord..Do you have any idea why my labs stay like this? RBC 3.2, Hgb 10, Hct 30, platelets 130, and Absolute neutrophils 1.5.
493068 tn?1224765315 I wanted to know if any of you that have completed tx have abnormal CBC and platelets? My WBCs, Hgb, Hct. and platelets have been low since starting treatment and completing tx. Thanks for any feedback.
Avatar n tn Platelets are a type of blood cell that play an important role in blood clotting. Platelets are made in the bone marrow, and is the organ that produces all types of blood cells. The condition can develop when the bone marrow stops regulating its production of platelets and other blood cells, often as a result of a mutation or other type of injury to the marrow.
Avatar m tn The function of the platelets is to clot blood. They aggregate and release factors which promote the blood coagulation around a bleeding area. A low platelet count is is most relevant when it comes to liver disease in that it is usually the first indication of stage 4 cirrhosis. This is how it works.... Blood flows from the spleen..... through the portal vein.... then through the liver.
190885 tn?1333025891 I was just asking because I was wondering if the procrit had helped raise you platelets. I would think with 141 platelets you don't have much liver damage. I started tx with just 60. When I was first diagnosed with hep c I had 107 . I love to see 141 that's great.
Avatar m tn i think i know what your talking about...ive been looking into ultalight therapy in the past...do you mean when they zap your blood to clean the virus from the blood and then it goes back into you body....yes i have heard of this and it is very interesting...sorry bout the show me the money remark....
Avatar m tn I have no idea what forum to go to, so since I'm used to this one and my problem could relate to low platelets, I'll start here. About the same time I started Olysio & Sovaldi, I got a light flesh-colored hard knot about the size of a dime right above my right elbow. There was blue all around it. Then the blue was replaced by spreading purple so the whole area is 3" by 2" with the knot in the middle. It hurts.
Avatar f tn dose , even tried a little more than that a few times, in an attempt to keep his low platelets from becoming a problem . I don't know for sure that it worked but I can say his last labs before stopping TX had his platelets a bit higher than they had been in years. Cause and effects can be questioned but it did seem to help him. It causes grogginess though but made little difference in Joe because he was too sick to do much but sleep anyway, most of the time.
Avatar m tn ) can work is 30 minutes IF you use the 5mg orally disintegrating tablets tablets. the 2.5mg orally disintegrating tablets take up to 1 hour to work... so that is not so good for SS, it would be good for pain but not good for SS. Probably the 5mg Zomig Nasal Spray which works in 10 minutes or the 5mg Zomig-ZMT which works in 30 minutes would be best for SS. So... it really depends on how long your SS lasts for.
Avatar f tn I have had the problem of low blood platelets for years - they go ip and down! Had loads of tests but nothing - but im tired and have lots of head rushes during the day..any ideas what this could be? Recent fbc :- WBC 6.35 RBC. 3.94 Platelets 59 Anyone can help??
Avatar f tn The platelet function tests help to study the functioning of the platelets. Various platelet function tests are used to evaluate the ability of platelets to clump together and begin to form a clot. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I said I have an account on this site and can ask eperts for you, so could anyone help? Could the decreased number of blood platelets be related to my colleague's episode five years ago?
