Avatar f tn Eithne01, The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML. Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.
Avatar n tn It is possible that the white blood cell count would normalize after 2 weeks of taking Imatinib (Gleevec). Most responses to Imatinib are rapid since it targets the molecular pathogenetic event in CML. You may seek a second opinion if that will give you a peace of mind. Good luck.
1004138 tn?1316251113 lots of people die all the time because they reject traditional treatments and go with 'natural' things instead I would think of using alternatives along with regular treatments, but not in place of them. Some alternative things might have some benefit. Isn't homeopathy the approach where you dilute some substance down to one part per billion or so, and then expect it to actually have some curing power?
Avatar n tn Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state. For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection. Good luck.
Avatar n tn Hi. Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in the pleripotent stem cell. It has several phases: indolent chronic or stable phase, aggressive or advanced phase, and accelerated and blastic phase. The transition between phases may take years (on the average, 4 to 6 years from the stable phase to aggressive phase).
Avatar f tn do I still have a hope? Does anyone had HPT BNF 10 days after FET and get BNP for blood result on 12 days?
Avatar m tn MY 6 YR OLD SON had a round red swollen area on his right forearm and after applying fudic bnf cream and teczim syrup for one week , the area developed into a red swollen lump around the size of around 15 mm x 10 mm and the size of the lump after 4 weeks is not decreasing in size and is also not increasing in size but is inflammed red and warm to the touch. The lump is now protruding outside a bit as time is progressing which seems to me .
Avatar f tn He suggest me cream named..melapik ever new, and fudic BNF cream ...I am frm india...plz suggest me I want to remove this scar because I am going to married end of this year .....
Avatar f tn Average survival rates are generalizations, not applicable to a particular patient. The prognosis is relatively good. Newer techniques are being tried, including imatinib and stem cell transplantation. All the best, and God Bless!
568812 tn?1379165794 So anyway, the pain he says, is the worst hes had in 18 months and his doctors are suggesting he uses amitriptyline but he doesnt want again and personally i agree that he shouldnt be on them. Ive looked in my BNF (British National Formulary) and i cant seem to see anything that might help. So my question is to ask if anyone has similar IBS symptoms and can suggest anything that might ease his pain. Thanks.
1650992 tn?1333304939 I think would take a HPT first and see if you get a BNF or a BFP then eatherway you now where your at and when you make a GP appointment you can eather say im preggo..where do we go from here OR i havnt had a proper AF for a couple of months and they can do some tests to find out why. Sorry i didnt have a better answer to your question hun i hope you get the answer you want soon!! :-) SSBD!!!
Avatar n tn Recently, I have been a bit more tired than I usually am, I have these really slight cramps in my lower stomach very similiar to period cramps, but WAY less painful, I experiened a 24-hour headache once and some very dull back and neck aches. I took one test the day I was due, but it was a BNF and another yesterday and the same results. I didn't use first morning's urine, though. About an hour and a half ago, I used the washroom and, once again, when I wiped I saw the same thing.
Avatar f tn TY for the reply. Yes I was told and am thinking that its parasitc or allergy. I went to aruba in June but that wouldn't have an affect on me now, would it?
492869 tn?1285018933 if YOU ARE TAKINF FLORINEF ONCE A DAY take it in the morning because this is when your body will normally be secreating cortisol anyway. always take your medication at regular intervals. this is what i got from the bnf online thing. hope this is of use.
Avatar f tn Hi, I am 29 years old and I have suspect that I have PCOS. I was overweight/obese as a child and teenager until my early 20s. Aged 21 I started getting excess facial/bodily hair and my weight increased to its highest (can't remember what but I was a UK size 18/US size 22). Then aged 22 my periods went from being 5 days long, 3 days heavy 2 light to lasting just 3 days, none particularly heavy.
Avatar m tn do you think that there is any mileage in switching from the generic versions to extended release type?? i forgot to say that i do have a Lumie SAD light and utilise this also. UK GP's won't prescribe over those levels despite what has been indicated elsewhere as you rightly say, as there's significant variation on this on the internet within the western world it seems.In the course of my work i've not seen patients being prescribed over these BNF levels.
Avatar f tn Therapy with corticosteroids is used for the treatment of most and additional therapy is available and dependent upon the type of HS. Newer medicines such as imatinib and mepolizumab are said to be promising. So, should your son have HS, there is reason to be optimistic regarding a positive response to currently available therapy. You should request, of his doctor, an additional explanation for the tentative diagnosis of pre-hypertension. Good luck.
Avatar m tn s no longer given out on repeat, unless virtually everything else has been tried for anxiety and the person taking it seems to manage on a dose that is well within the safe limits in the BNF - it does still ruin a lot of lives and keeps people agoraphobic and dependent on it in quite small doses. Also Doctors who prescribe bezos are monitored as to how many people they write scripts for such meds.
178239 tn?1277405491 So sorry about AF, Tina, and the BNF, AUNTDD. Meeshy, with a 17.5 follicle two days ago, you should be ready to O any day now. I bet the follicle is about 21.5 right about now! I'm either 3 or 4 dpo (I think 4, but FF thinks 3), and so far I only have some tender BBs, which is normal for me after O. But I'm actually kinda happy about it, because the last two cycles (cycle 3 and 4 on femara), they were barely tender at all.
4764932 tn?1359844198 Hi niko , I hope You are fine and dandy. Just to update you on my latest problem , which I saw coming , and now I know that the doctor who reffered me to the armour doctor , won't prescribe me armour on NHS. In brackets below are the notes I showed him in my defence , which he just glanced at. “Armour is unlicenced because its been around since 1800s, and it works. It was around befor BNF. There's no need for it to be licenced due to proven efficency and lack of harm.
Avatar f tn Patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome should be tested for the presence of the FIP1L1-PDGRFA-mutatition in order to identify patients that could benefit from a treatment with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor such as Imatinib. At present, immunosuppression is still the treatment of first choice for Churg-Strauss syndrome. Novel treatment modalities for both diseases include immunomodulation with interferon alpha and biologics such as antibodies against interleukin 5.
1310468 tn?1274863925 One of the medications my doctors are looking at to treat BPII is lamotragine, but I've just looked it up in the BNF and it's listed for use in controlling epileptic seizures, NOT for managing mood disorders. Do you think this is an off-label use, or anything I should worry about? Has anyone had experience of using it?
Avatar f tn I felt the same, I got a bnf today via beta test, this is my 2nd failed ICSi, and frankly I have no answer to myself whether I should give up as I have been ttv for ten years, the ten years disappointment and waiting is countless to me. RE advice to use egg donor and seriously I do not know how can it help? What happen if is still something wrong in my uterus and makes implantation difficult, I ask myself whether can I stand another round of rollercoaster with many many sleepless night?
