Common Questions and Answers about Methadone in bone marrow

methadose

Avatar n tn Methadone does collect in your bone marrow and fatty tissue. It also effects your thyroid and pancreas. The pain happens when you withdrawal, and it is horrrrible, im not sure how we can go through so much pain without being killed, but trust me I feel your pain. Also when you start detoxing, your nerve roots are raw and craving the narcotic like the rest of your body. Good luck to you, its a horrible thing to go through.
Avatar m tn Another plaintiff is a doctor and bone marrow transplant expert who said at least one in five of his patients die because no matching bone marrow donor can be found. Yet another has mixed-race children, for whom matched donors are particularly scarce. Matches for African Americans are particularly hard to find. A California nonprofit that would like to offer incentives to bone marrow donors is also a party to the lawsuit. The group, MoreMarrowDonors.
Avatar m tn s really difficult to come off of and needs to be done really slowly. Methadone gets into your bone marrow after long term consistent use which is what makes it so hard to get off of. But there are alot of people here that have gotten off, whether by taper or other means. Hang on to that drive and you can do it!!
Avatar f tn I had an abnormal t1 weighted signal in bone marrow on hip mri. Report said it could be benign red marrow reconversion or myeloproliferative. I have been feeling ill since 2012, had some abnormal results on tests through the years, history of fatigue, pain, rashes. Ana pos at one point. High Dheas-s ranging from 450-690. My endocrinologist did a half ass work up on that. Does anyone know if excess androgens could cause an oxygen problem in bones leading to marrow abnormality?
Avatar f tn A bone marrow edema — often referred to as bone marrow lesion — occurs when fluid builds up in the bone marrow. Bone marrow edema is typically a response to an injury such as a fracture or conditions such as osteoarthritis. Bone marrow edema usually resolves itself with rest and physical therapy. Osteitis pubis is a condition in which there’s inflammation where the right and left pubic bones meet at the lower front part of the pelvis.
Avatar m tn My husaband recently had a bone marrow test with final dianosis of "Normocellular bone marrow with involvement by B cell Lymphoma, History of Follicular Lymphoma (5%). What does this mean?
Avatar f tn Hi. Bone marrow biopsy involves getting a sample of the bone marrow using a large bore needle that is inserted into the hip bone. The needle is still small enough such that it will not have an effect on the structural integrity and strength of the hip bone, even if your mother has osteoporosis. The subsequent treatment will depend on what the bone marrow biopsy results will be. Not all conditions which present with anemia can be treated with blood products or Epogen.
Avatar n tn Hi. The cellular components of blood (red cell, white cell, platelets) are produced in the bone marrow. If your dad's doctor said that "his body is no longer producing blood", he most likely has something wrong in his bone marrow, which prevents it from producing blood. Various conditions can result in bone marrow injury/ destruction. Cancer (e.g. leukemia or lymphoma) can directly invade and destroy bone marrow cells. Certain chemicals (e.g. benzene), drugs, infection (e.g.
Avatar m tn The results stated a subtle increase in bone marrow signal on T2-weighted fat-suppressed imaging which may indicate low-grade bone marrow edema. My dr wants me to schedule a PET/radionuclear bone scan. What are they looking for....I have always been in good health for my age of 52...trying to rule out cancer I guess. I feel fine and no health issued except taking blood pressure medicine.
Avatar n tn The condition can develop when the bone marrow stops regulating its production of platelets and other blood cells, often as a result of a mutation or other type of injury to the marrow. Conditions that can cause the bone marrow to produce too many platelets include infections, surgery, iron deficiency, and prior removal of the spleen. If no cause is found, it may be necessary to take a microscopic look at your son's bone marrow.
879267 tn?1240356681 They say that Methadone is one of the hardest drugs to withdraw from much harder than even heroin because the half life of Methadone is so long and it deposits itself in your fatty tissues and bone marrow. Take a look at some of my journals for more info. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I wiill be praying for you. - Brian.
Avatar m tn Good length specimen showing intact architecture and cellularity for age. Overall cellularity is around 45 to 50%. Cellular areas show presence of erythroid and myeloid precursors. Adequate megakaryocytes noted. No granuloma or replacement/infiltration identified in the sections examined. OPINION: No evidence of bone marrow involvement by lymphoma in the slides examined.
Avatar f tn He said the swelling was causing pressure in the bone, thus resulting in excruciating pain! He said that the bone marrow edema could be caused by the osteoarthritis, tendinitis, labrum tear, or most likely all three. He said I would have to have surgery. I go to an orthopedic doc Tuesday. Can anyone out there in cyber world tell me how long the recovery will be for the surgery I am going to have to have?
1983221 tn?1333506185 I had the transplant as a means of knocking my cancer into a deep remission, since Multiple Myeloma is not cureable, you have treatment, hope for a deep response and long remission, but the disease is one of multiple relapses until you become resistant to all drugs for my transplant I was two high doses of chemo, to kill my bone marrow and then given my stem cells back to replant it.
Avatar f tn Had a needle biopsy which had crashed be sells the suspicion was B cell Lymohatic disorder. Just had an open bone biopsy. Just had an open bone biopsy.. ruled out lymphoma but then they thought it was myelofibrosis. Results just came in and we still don't know what it is the B cells were once again crushed. Myelofibrosis was ruled out but lymphoma was not ruled out. All my blood tests are normal my pet scan came back clean of course except my tibia.
Avatar m tn Information regarding bone marrow donation is available from the national marrow donor program at www.marrow.org. Most donors are screened with a cheek swab, however blood draw will ultimately be required. Parents of a child who needs a bone marrow transplant should speak with the treating doctors about the most efficient process at the hospital where the child is being treated.
Avatar n tn FNA biobsy in lymph nodes reveal that spectrum of cells resembling myeloid series present. they sugested further investigations , blood picture/bone marrow test and lymph node biopsy(open). How ever laboratory doctor said blood picture is normal. Bonemarrow results pending. no other symptoms such as night sweating, fatigue, or any swelling in abdomen, but I have fever in the evening and night time, I want to eat, but I feel bad taste of food (like more bitter or salty taste).
Avatar f tn Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cause increases in lymphocytes. Leukemia is a type of cancer in the blood in which bone marrow (a tissue that fills the openings of bones) is replaced by early forms of white blood cells. Cancer is a group of disease in which symptoms are due to an abnormal and excessive growth of cells in one of the body organs or tissues.
Avatar f tn During bone marrow biopsy, under sedation and local anesthesia, a long needle is inserted into the hip bone and some of the marrow inside the hip bone sucked in. This marrow is then tested to find the cause of any blood disorder. Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors are myelosuppressive drugs or they are drugs which suppress the bone marrow. This treatment is reserved for patients who do not respond to conventional therapy, as in your mother’s case.
Avatar m tn Hi Thanks for writing to the forum! Severe dehydration can cause a high cell count. Another possibility is myeloproliferative disorders of the bone marrow. Myeloproliferative disorders include: • Polycythemia vera -- occurs when the bone marrow produces too many blood cells, especially red blood cells • Essential thrombocytosis -- occurs when the body produces too many platelet cells, which help blood to clot. Clots can block blood vessels leading to heart attack or stroke.
Avatar f tn My WBC count has been up and down for a year now-with blood tests after blood test. It's now 19.1 and I'm finally having a Bone Marrow test on the 22nd! This better give some real results!
789911 tn?1368636783 The reticulocyte count is a reflection of recent bone marrow activity. If your bone marrow is responding appropriately to the demand for increased numbers of RBCs, then the bone marrow will allow for the early release of more immature RBCs, increasing the number of reticulocytes in the blood. An increased reticulocyte percentage may indicate conditions such as: for much more info go to labtestsonline.
Avatar n tn There is a lot of information on what it means and how to become a bone marrow donor (to search for local marrow drives that you can attend or to find a local recruitment office). Thank you very much.
Avatar f tn my platelets dropped in a period of about 3 weeks from 165 to 56, to me this seems to be very quick. I am on Xeloda and the onc is thinking this may be the cause. my question is, if the Xeloda, or bone marrow mets were responsible for the drop, wouldn't it be over a period of time and not just "whammo" down it goes. I was feeling really well until one day when I was off colour and the same day had a really bad nose bleed that seemed to last forever.
Avatar f tn I was shocked! She referred me to a Hematologist for a bone marrow biopsy. I went and the Hematologist said I didn't need a bone marrow biopsy since my wbc, although high, weren't a concern. He said some people just have them on the high side. The numbers aren't high enough to cause a concern. Is this true? I've never heard of wbc being high for so long! My next lab work will be in August. I have been positive for HPV. Is there a connection to this maybe?
