Anyone here know anything about zetia and its affect on the thyroid and or levo absorption? I have read it may affect absorption and the rx monograph says talk tp your doctor if you have thyroid disorders.

Hello,
Short term memory loss after brain surgery is more common than you might think.

Here is a link to a 39 minute video presentation given by one of my doctors, Norah Terrault, to other doctors at UCSF on March 6, 2008. (Dr. Terrault directs the Hep C treatment programs at University of California San Francisco). This presentation gives the lastest info on HCV and cirrhosis.

She is taking hydralazine 50mg for high BP, Sertraline 25mg for depression, Nitrofur Mac 50mg for UTI, Donepezil 10mg for memory loss, and Novolin for high blood sugar. We also have a PT that comes to her house but that is not really helping.

I have been seeing several doctors (all cross referred) and all are perplexed (thier words). Meanwhile I am confused, frustrated and suffering.
I am a married 53yo tall otherwise avg male. Until 18mo ago I was in good health, very active, and a college professor. I do not drink or do drugs. I am now unable to work or do most of the activities I once enjoyed. My mother died of cancer and my father died ostensibly from alcohol induced cerebral ataxia.
Looked at the drug interactions monograph, thought it was a reaction to the generic Zyrtec and called my doc. He told me to stop taking the zyrtec and ordered liver function tests. Well, tests came back with high enzymes and bilirubin and he told me to stop taking ALL medications. Ordered an ultrasound which he said was negative, and ordered the blood work again. He seems to think it's liver damage due to drug toxicity.
I have been doing lots of reading on the internet, and also, of the monograph provided with the medicine. I am reading about side effects such as dizziness, shortness of breath, all kinds of awful things. I have dizziness due to vertigo (believed by my Dr. to be due to fluid in ears / virus), and wonder how I'll be able to tell whether any diziness is a side effect or the vertigo. It's all very new and confusing to me.
