thank you for your posts regarding your treatment plans and results. looks like you are heading in the right direction.
considering shorter treatment periods for patients with a rapid virological response (RVR), increasing treatment periods for slow responders, and increasing RBV dose are all suggestions. Results from clinical trials suggest that approximately 20% of the HCV genotype 1-infected population are slow responders, and around 15% of all HCV genotype-1 infected patients could benefit from a shorter treatment duration without compromising the SVR rate.
I had only once tested my hbsag quantity since my diagnosis two years ago. The test was done a few weeks ago and came out about 17000iu/ml. In other words quite high, that should warrant treatment immediately, in my opinion, though my dumb doctors won't put me on treatment yet. But I'm going to fight them and insist that I need antiviral treatment.
If you are HBeAg(+), then AASLD 2007 recommends treatment when HBV-DNA >20000 IU/ml and ALT >2 ULN; EASL recommends treatment when HBV-DNA >2000 IU/ml and ALT >1 ULN; US Treatment Algorithm 2008 recommends treatment when HBV-DNA >20000 IU/ml and ALT >1 ULN.
Nothing has been shown to retard the growth of gallbladder polyps at this point. The current recommendaiton for polyps in the GB is the same as for other polyps - get them removed. In the case of GB polyps it means having the GB removed since they can't be taken away in any other manner.
My question today is your thoughts on a new testing algorithm. I know 4th generation testing has been around for a while and that your stance has been that these tests are conclusive at 28 days. Just recently I went to get tested in Massachusetts a month after my last sexual experience. As I know the duo test they perform would be conclusive at that point.
Your doctor would need know that to assess whether it is good for you on treatment or not.The genotype 2 are the easiest to treat on a 24 week

It has been two years after my hysterectomy and I still have severe groin pain.
I had oral sex with a man over about a month ago. He wore a condom. It was the first time that I had a homosexual experience. While he was very gentle his penis did reach way back in my throat. Afterwards, he put his penis in my butt. About 3-5 days after this encounter I experienced severe pain in the lower to middle region of my throat. Then everytime I exercise the pain gets worse. I've been to the doctor and don't have strep throat. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with me.
It is a Rheumatologist who you must see for a fibromyalgia diagnosis and if positive,consequent treatment follows, prescribed normally by the Rheumatologist.
There is no effective standard medical treatment for fibromyalgia other than symptom management, by the way.
The suspected side-effects of the acupuncture cannot be attributed to the
treatment itself, as it cannot be verified.
Those " strange" side effects could be easily caused by stress alone.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 15, and it truly has been a touch road to walk down. I tried every medication they were willing to write, and nothing ever seemed to truly help. Then, I began seeing a new doctor, and what he told me to do was the most shocking, and absolutely amazing thing in the world. What was his treatment plan? "Smoke a joint.
ve seen more posts lately of those who have very similar symptoms after completion of treatment and most often the end diagnosis is fibromyalgia. It is a chronic disorder and there is really no cure.
3D lung reconstruction uses Improved Ray Casting Algorithm which provides information for diagnosing respiratory problems.Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system is also sometime used but these have the same concept of integrating algorithms produced on the CT scans.Im not so sure about the companies which design these software systems.Such highly designed mulitmedia systems come up with preinstalled softwares which are provided by the manufactures of the machinery it self.
At this time, there is no "cure" for fibromyalgia - one main reason being is they have not determined exactly what causes fibromyalgia. There are many thoughts and ideas on it, however, nothing has been scientifically proven/discovered. There also are no specific blood tests, scans, etc., for diagnosing fibromyalgia = there ARE certain critieria that need to be met before a true fibro diagnosis.
I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I've tried all of the meds they are currently prescribing for this. Has anyone tried alternative treatment for this? If so, did it work for you?
I'm a 45yr. old female with Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I also have had a total hysterectomy in 1991. I take premarin for hormone replacement. Over the last 5 years or so I have noticed that the "peach fuzz" on my face, (blonde) was getting a little thicker. My hair was really short and my hairstylist at the time took clippers and shaved around the sides of my jawline near my ear lobe. I freaked out of course. He said it would not make it grow in faster.
hi. you might get more help if this wasnt posted in the dental forum. my mom just started taking cymbalta its an antidepressant but it seems to help her pain. i am not sure if its been approved for fibromyalgia but her dr had read a few articles about how it might help so he told the insurance company it was for depression caused by her pain so they would be sure to cover it. if your current dr isnt up to date with treatment options i would go to someone else. good luck!
