Avatar m tn Our aim was to investigate the efficacy and safety of etanercept as adjuvant to interferon and ribavirin in treatment-naive patients with HCV. METHODS: Double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial. Fifty patients with chronic HCV were randomly assigned to receive interferon alfa-2b and ribavirin with either etanercept or placebo for 24 weeks. The main outcome measure was the absence of HCV RNA at 24 weeks, the on treatment response at the end of the etanercept randomization period.

Avatar n tn Hi Dalki, Yes, in time your doctor will likely know for sure which type of diabetes you have. In addition to Type 1 and Type 2, there seems to be a type 1.5 ... tho' there's some thought that 1.5s are just in the early stages of Type 1. We DMers (folks with diabetes mellitis) and our docs often call that a honeymoon phase. I hope you're feeling better now that your bloodsugar has begun to come down. Things may remain volatile for a while, so try to be patient with yourself.

Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with genital herpes type 1 but i'm confused as to what this means. There isn't a very clear idea given on any of the health sites i'm tried and I was too distraught to ask the nurses at the clinic i first went to. How does type one differ from type two? Does this mean i'm more or less likely to pass it on? Will i be having more outbreaks?
Avatar m tn I was recently diagnosed with CIDP in my left calf. I have been having electrical shocks in my left calf now for about a year and a half. After this diagnosis I was told to continue with my Gabapentin {3x a day @300mg} but I was also told that a possible Botox shot in the surface area of my left calf might also end this pain. Can anyone tell me what possible effects the Botox shot might have on me such as adverse reactions etc.
3156104 tn?1357281195 Greeting and welcome. I am sorry this is happening. I do not have firsthand experience or knowledge about PA however I have some time on my hands so I just Googled some of the key words in your post. I hope the things I found this elsewhere help until someone else posts. Meanwhile perhaps you can post more details so others can offer insight: Psoriasis can most definitely cause joint pain or arthritis, commonly referred to as psoriatic arthritis.
1242273 tn?1269552203 s necessarly have to be type 2 ? How common is it that your type 1 when told your type two? The first year metforim helped my numbers and now I am on metformin 2X500mg twice a day and then added two 5mg twice a day of PMS-glyburide and now two weeks ago added APO-pioglitazone 45mg once a day. I watch what I eat cook from diabetic cook books try to get exercise which can be very painful due to fibromyalgia, but my numbers arent dropping. I'm mostly all the time running in the mid 20's.
Avatar m tn Neuro dr tested me a while back. Even took spinal fluid ( that hurt!) but said my only issue is type 1. But I'm terrified I got type 2 now. I should get IGG results tomorrow. I have had a weekend on pain in groin but no sores. Little red spots but they go away in a day. Everything I'm feeling I felt before. The big difference is my back and muscles in and around my pelvic region have been painful more than before. I hoped wearing a condom would help me and the famvir.
Avatar f tn Hi, type 2 is more common in the gential area but certainly type 1 can be tramsmitted there from oral sex. However type 2 is much more sever and painful. Its important to find out which you have and how were you diagnosed?
Avatar n tn My question is do you think it is more likely that I got genital herpes from her oral type 1 herpes via the unprotected oral sex vs. from the protected vaginal sex (in which case she would have to have genital herpes herself and also be shedding at the time)? My understanding is that it is a fairly low risk of contracting genital herpes if wearing a condom and there is no outbreak. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar n tn I know I am insulin dependent because I cannot take my pump off except for the rare few minutes or so without my sugar sky rocketing. Now would u still call this Type 2 Diabetes or Type 1? Hearing the words Juvenile Diabetes associated with Type 1 throws me off obviously because I was not diagnosed as a juvenile. But also the words Insulin Dependent are associated with the Type 1. So I DO fit into that category.
Avatar f tn In my experience (as a 40+ year type 1), endos with an understanding of type 1 adults (those of us with complications, for example) are rare. I have found 2, one who was part of a large endo group and chose to focus on type 1, and my current endo who IS a type 1. The understanding and advice I recieve is unquestionably much better from such a doctor, even compared to those who have had many more years experience. It is worth the effort to search for one.
Avatar n tn me and my wife are planning to have a baby soon and my mother in law has herpes type 1 active,she has been tested by the doctor and came back positive,we are worried as we have been tested and come back negative,will we need to cease contact with her,will it pose a risk to our unborn child,
Avatar m tn Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically. Establish a rhythm and do for 15 to 30 minutes twice a day. Children under 15 years – do 5 to 10 minutes twice a day. Not for pregnant women. Seriously ill people do it gently.
Avatar f tn I have recently been dx with chiari type 1 with a 10mm herniation. The pain in my neck and the headaches have become unbearable and to the point where darvocet won't even help. I am scheduled to see a neurologist soon, but I am afraid that I will once again get the run-around. I live in Michigan, does anyone know of a specialist in my area?
650835 tn?1224082772 She was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks with severe vertigo before being diagnosed with chiari type 1. They did a flow study and found the fluid around the brain was very slowed. The administered steroids which seemed to temporarily rectify the situation. NOW six months later she is having bad headaches that are progressively getting worse. i have concerns and they are passing it off as the flu.
Avatar n tn Congratulations!!! I too am a type 1 diabetic and my son just turned 1 last month. I had a pretty healthy pregnancy but it was very hard work. As the person above told you call your doc immediately and ask for a Rx for prenatal vitamins. Also, one of the most important nutrients for your baby is folic acid or folate. This is especially important for diabetics!!! The best sources are spinach (I know yuck...
Avatar n tn I have a friend whose husband has type-1 diabetes. He is in his early thirties and had a job for 3 years in which he had to drive around town. His blood sugar dropped one day when he was off work and he had an accident and lost his drivers license.
