Avatar n tn I was taking Linzess and it didn't work and they offer a refund as long as you have your receipt and tell them why, etc.? Do you know if the manufacturer who makes Lubiprostone offers a refund if it doesn't work?
329994 tn?1301663248 Last summer I had intestinal surgery (a foot of small instestine removed) and it has just gotten worse over time.I eat very little and get bloated immediately. Have not gone to the bathroom on my own for 2 years. I went online and did not like the side effects of this medication or the reports written by real people. I am hoping that someone on here has taken it and can tell me what they think. I am mostly concerned about the side effects of chest pain and shortness of breath.
Avatar m tn Alosetron has been approved for women with IBS and severe diarrhea and that too under strict vigilance and research program. Similarly Lubiprostone may be prescribed to men and women with IBS and constipation, again under strict vigilance. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care! I sincerely hope you will find this information useful in your journey towards better health. Hope you get well soon! Good Luck and take care!
Avatar f tn Lulu has asked me to give more details about the swallowing/esophagus problems I've been having intermittently. First I'll say that I'm no expert on this, and that not long ago Quix described the tests, pretty excruciating for her, that were done on her esophagus and stomach, as part of a big digestive system workup. I certainly defer to her personal and medical knowledge on this subject, and hope she'll correct any erroneous assumptions here.
Avatar n tn Do any of you know of a well documented scientific study on vaginal-penile (and viceversa of course) transmission mechanism to share with me? That has been wandering my mind and I wanted to get a little educated on it. Please, if any, then paste the URL. Thank ya'll!
Avatar m tn What's the differences between CNS depression? May i know what's the causes of depression? Does it relate to the neurotransmitter? Diazepam is an anti-depressant? It enhances the effect of GABA by binding to the benzodiazepine site on the GABA A-receptor. After binding to the receptor, may i know what's the next mechanism? GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter? If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure?
Avatar f tn Within our subconscious mind we retain a primitive mechanism to both remember stress, and control our ability to sleep. When we are in balance we send the appropriate instruction to our subconscious, and the sleep mechanism simply takes over. However when this balance is disturbed the result is sleeplessness.
Avatar f tn The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses. When the polar opposites cathode (negative electrons) and anode (positive electrons) reach a specific level there will be repolarization by transfering electrons from anode to the cathode.
Avatar m tn What happened was I made a huge mess, it was all over my leg and crotch. So I immediately went to shower to clean it off. And in the process of doing so, I used a loofa to clean off the mess I made. This is where my paranoia kicks in. Can cleaning sperm with a loofa with soap-free body wash (Aveeno) and moderately warm water ever pregnant the next person that uses it (30 mins after)?
Avatar f tn We've noticed that my daughter, when she doesn't want to do something (atleast it appears that way), she puts her hands over her ears and closes her eyes. We took her to a pediatric ENT and when it was time to do the hearing test, we couldn't do it because she wouldn't open her eyes and her hands were over her ears...he concluded that her ears are fine due to the other tests that were done and when he looked in her ears.
Avatar m tn In this paper, we demonstrate important parts of this mechanism. Initially, HIV-induced impairment of proliferation was shown to be an active process involving induction of protein tyrosine kinases in both CD4 and CD8 T cells. Furthermore, the impairment of cell proliferation was demonstrated to be linked to induction of the inhibitory protein kinase A (PKA) pathway by HIV proteins.
Avatar f tn First accept my apologies for my bad english. I'm so worried and can't sleep since this happened. I have a girlfriend and don't wan't to infect her..i love her so much and don't know qhy i did this stupid thing. It happened in brussels, (equivalent of red light disctrict of amsterdam). I was drunk and went to see a commercial sex worker. She started by putting a condom on me and then gave me oral sex.
Avatar n tn My 13 year old daughter started with a fever of 102, she took a dose of Tylenol at 7pm and then woke up shaking all over at 1am. Her temp is now 100. Is shaking normal like this for her age?
Avatar f tn can anyone explain the sentence with detailed mechanism (how hypercatabolic and insulin resistance relate to each other)??
1459422 tn?1285692684 As a compensatory mechanism veins can dilate and constrict to change how much blood they can hold. When veins constrict, their capacity to hold blood is reduced, allowing more blood to return to the heart from which it is pumped into the arteries. As a result, blood pressure increases. Conversely with resistance training, when veins dilate, their capacity to hold blood is increased, allowing less blood to return to the heart. As a result, blood pressure decreases.
Avatar m tn You might want to try sinus rinses. They are very effective for washing the gunk out of your sinuses and reducaing allergic reactions. Feel better. God bless.
Avatar m tn I feel dizzy and heavy all the time especially when am walking. This has gone on for over three month. various test were requested by physian who eventually refer me to an ENT doctor? What is the cause of this? This discussion is related to <a href="/posts/Undiagnosed-Symptoms/Dizziness--Heaviness-and-tingling-on-Left-side---especially-left-arm-and-ankle/show/203027">Dizziness, Heaviness and tingling on Left side - especially left arm and ankle</a>.
Avatar n tn Hopefully Kaiser has a mechanism for obtaining a second opinion. If so ask for a second opinion from a different retina eye md even if it means driving to a second office. Last choice would be to go outside the Kaiser system and see another independent retina ophthalmologist.
Avatar m tn I am having a problem with my balance and depth perception and I don't wear glasses.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with spondylosis in my lumbar spine about 7 years ago and since then have lost 2 discs there, now discs in c4/5 and 6/7 are going. I also have cfs and fibromyagia, no fun at all!!
Avatar m tn Of course, I understand that it comes in contact with infectious body fluids, but as far as I'm concerned as soon as hiv is exposed to air and pH and is not inside it's host (person) it starts to die and as soon as it starts to die it's unable to effect anyone, so that's where the confusion comes from
Avatar m tn Work on yourself, go to the gym, have a healthy diet and start to like yourself and develope a high self-esteem and i you will see the result. If you want i can give you a audiobook i have about building a high self-esteem and be appreciated. Just send me a private message if you are interested!
1647645 tn?1301337060 You have touched on a controversial subject. Human beings exposed to sunlight for forty minutes develop over 10,000 IU's of vitamin D3, and some physicians recommend that as the daily dose. The FDA requirement is a fraction of that. Evidence suggests that up to 5000 IU a day cannot get you into any trouble. Daily exposure to sunlight (at least 30 minutes a day withg as much skin as possible exposed) is the best way to ensure a proper dose of vitamin D3. Vitamin E can be very dangerous.
Avatar n tn The estradiol supresses this mechanism, allowing multiple follicles to mature, and making your chlomid or other drugs a better shot at producing multiple eggs.
Avatar n tn So what will be the effective exercises on that one hour. And please again suggest a complete diet chart and routine of the whole day meal.
