Common Questions and Answers about Lidocaine and icp

m 29 weeks and I just recently saw a post on Facebook about ICP (intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy) and it seems to mostly fit my symptoms but I also have hepatitis c and I know that can make you itchy when your levels are off (which currently they are and I'm seeing a GI doctor next week). My worry is that it is not my hepatitis and is this ICP. I've heard it means early delivery and can lead to stillbirth if untreated which scares me to no end.
A le nights ago I couldn't sleep because I was experiencing horrible itching in my hands and feet. I went to the doctor early the next morning and it turns out I might have some liver disorder called ICP. I was just hoping there might be another mommy who's experienced this and can help me feel less freaked out! Ftm and all I can do is worry for my little man.
I have a question relating to shunts and MRIs. I have a VP shunt and require an MRI because I am having trigeminal neuralgia in my face and neck problems which are leading to numbness in my fingers. CT scans show nothing so my neurologist ordered an MRI. Is it safe for someone with a VP shunt to have one? Im just nervous about it flying out of my head an all. Thank you for any input.
My dentist gives me my shot and see another patient, by the time he got back to me I was fully numb. and the numbness last for 8 - 12 hours. I am highly allergic to lidocaine it puts me into anaphylactic shock, I have an epipen but sa that I don't have to use that I just make sure everyone is doing their job and I always wear my medic alert bracelet.
m 37 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing pretty severe itching for about 2 weeks now. I did some research and obstetric cholestasis came up ( oc, ICP). It sounds pretty scary. Has anyone else been experiencing this or have oc? I go to my doctor on Tuesday, should I wait to do anything about it till then? Suggestions!?!!!
My itching started around 26/27 weeks and would keep me up at night, didn't give it much thought until I had enough of hours of scratching and not sleeping. I googled and icp came up, he said doctors don't like patients googling but in this case he's glad I did because I could possibly have icp. Since I've been taking the medicine the itching is gone unless I miss some doses.
Literally six months later and to this day every six months, once in fall and once in spring I get elevated ICP. They say it is not connected to my lupus. I have none of the risk factors for pseudotumor cerebri. These are the worst headaches ever. I literally feel like my head will explode. I start throwing up within 4 hours of the onset. I almost always end up on the ER. My doctors have not come up with a plan because they do not understand it.
) My vertigo is returning as well as numbness to my face/tongue, irritabliy, urinary urgency, numbness and neuro pain to my arms and legs but mostly at night. I am terrified. I feel like if I tell anyone I will be back under the knife. I love my job and can't imagine not working. Right now I am a one man show. If I'm not there, the kids don't get the central lines they need. It's not really an option to slow down.
Hi...let me start by asking since they are now doing genetic testing for EDS post op.....did he have a dura patch placed
Sometimes when a person is rejecting a patch they over produce CSF fluid and it is then DX'd as having ICP and a shunt is placed....
Sometimes all that is needed is to replace the dura patch with tissue harvested from the patient to help lessen the CSF being produced.
I know when I went to school I had issues learning and focusing...
ve had quite a few stellate ganglion blocks and have had some success. They thought the lidocaine infusion might help the other pain I deal with and kill two (or more) birds at the same time so to speak.
KittKat23-78, Sorry the infusion didn't help you!! I hadn't heard about having several a few days apart; I'll have to ask about it. Mine is (at least one) being paid for by worker's comp. I'm hopeful but also trying to keep things realistic and in perspective.
left pointer finger, at work i stuck a cedar sliver under the nail past the start point of the nail. I attempted to pull it out and it broke off. only 1/4 inch came out so a good 1/2 inch is still in there i can see it thru the nail. I attempted to cut and split the nail with razor blade but once i got part way thru nail it hurt bad. my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches.
Has anyone ever been prescribed this for genital outbreaks or PHN? My doctor did for PHN. I just tried it for the first time it hurt to apply and doesn't feel the most pleasant now. Has anyone ever used this and what was your experience?
I am a 25 year old female and I had a seizure while having dental work done about 3 weeks ago. I had been given lidocaine and nitrous oxide. Following the appointment, I went to a neurologist and had a CT scan and an MRI done. Both showed no brain abnormalities. I had eclampsia 4 years ago and had seizures which resulted in the early delivery of my child. Aside from my seizures 4 years ago, I had no previous history of seizure disorder.
I would feel a whole lot better without using any anesthetic during the procedure since I had a terrible experience back in 1989 when I was given a skin test for Lidocaine and Meprivacaine? both WITHOUT EPINEPHRINE,YES,WITHOUT EPINEPHRINE and I made sure of that before the skin test.They had to discontinue the Lidocaine because of heart side effects.But they finished with the other one and they thought that everything was fine and sent me home..The next day,BOOM! they hit with a vengence..P.
Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
