Avatar n tn Dimpling is a sign of shortening of the suspensory ligaments of the result. This can result from an inflammation, wound healing, or neoplasm. You may go back to your doctor for re-evaluation, and a possible repeat mammogram. Take care.
394052 tn?1203100849 less evidence was found for raloxifene. the USPSTF found good evidence that both tamoxifen and raloxifene increase the risk of thromboembolitic events (stroke, DVT, PE). they found that tamoxifen increases the risk of endometrial CA. the USPSTF recommends screening for colon CA starting at age 50 in men and women. earlier screening recommendations depend on the patient, family history and medical conditions (ie they are different for conditions such as ulcerative colitis, etc).

Avatar f tn Bilateral swelling of lymph nodes under jaw. Both lymph nodes are identical size (3/4-1") and location. Noticed 5 days post exposure when I read about ARS and started checking for them not because they hurt. Also noticed white tongue about 10 days post-exposure when I read about it and checked. Not sure if it was present before. Both symptoms still persist 60 days post exposure.
Avatar f tn I had three losses.at different stages for different reasons. It didn't get easier for me either. I now have two wonderful children (and 5 weeks pregnant now). Later, when you do have your children the pain will be a faint memory. Just keep visualizing positive outcomes!! Don't let the losses take away the picture of you having a baby!!
Avatar f tn I am supposed to start Raloxifene. This may cause hot flashes. If severe enough, dr will rx Effexor to treat flashes. I have been reading such negative information about the side effects of Effexor, and even worse, the are withdrawal symptoms if you have to get off of it. Is there anyone reading this that actually had to take effexor along with Raloxifene? If so, could you tell me please if you had a good, or bad experience? Thank you for any input.
Avatar n tn Cancer Center physicians are participating in a clinical trial called STAR, where the effectiveness of Raloxifene is being compared to that of Tamoxifen for the prevention of breast cancer in high risk women. Your cancer center physician will be able to discuss each of these options with you in more detail, and help to guide your treatment decision to the one most appropriate for your specific situation.

Avatar f tn TBG excess production can be hereditary, which is X-linked dominant transmission, or it can be secondary to excess estrogens, as in pregnancy, use of oral contraceptives, hormone replacement, and medications like raloxifene or tamoxifen [4, 5]. The more highly sialylated TBG is cleared more slowly from plasma than the more positively charged TBG, because sialylation inhibits the hepatic uptake of glycoproteins.
2030686 tn?1351688548 t think childhood measles, mumps, chickenpox matter. Most of us have had them, at least those of us who are older. However, the other conditions you mentioned should definitely be disclosed. Any current conditions should be disclosed. Any previous abnormal lab work should be disclosed. (So Epstein Barre, seizures, bipolar disorder should all be disclosed along with anything else you have not mentioned.
Avatar n tn This summer I had a few casual sexual encounters with different men. These encounters began in June and by the middle of August I had wised up. All of the encounters were protected anally and unprotected oral (only one instance of ejaculation in the mouth.) Around 5-6 weeks after the last encounter I began to develop a few ARS like symptoms including swollen occipital nodes on both sides, posterior cervical nodes on both sides (both no bigger than a cm), and swollen nodes under the jaw.
Avatar f tn Aside from radiation, you can ask your doctor about other breast cancer risk reduction strategies such as that of hormonal treatment with tamoxifen or raloxifene. Other breast conditions that may increase the risk of invasive cancer would include DCIS (ductal carcinoma in situ). Regards.
2015036 tn?1332997788 Hello, I have Multiple Sclerosis. But I also have a history of recurrent sinus infections. I have had TN on the left side of my face for close to four years. Today, I am having very similar pain in an area I know could be my trigeminal nerve- though on the right side. I don't know which doctor to see: my GP or my neurologist. Any thoughts? Thank you!
Avatar f tn The teacher does conners reports because the school psyc (or possibly a private psyc) gave them to the teacher. They usually are a multiple choice or ranked scale format. The teacher gives her opinion of the questions. The psyc scores them. The test is set up so that some one can't really use it to get a particular outcome. I don't quite understand your question Sarah. Did he get diagnosed with ADHD and is special ed. and you want out? Or was he not diagnosed?
Avatar f tn Use of Raloxifene is intended to decrease the risk of osteoporosis and to decrease the risk of invasise breast cancer or to prevent invasive breast cancer from retuning in women who have had invasive BC. If you have questions or concerns about using it, it would be best to discuss them with the physician who prescribed it. Best wishes...
Avatar m tn - Is it typically an interventional cardiologist that does the initial cath and angiogram of lower extremities and legs in the process of treating peripheral artery disease that causes leg or calf cramping? I've had an ultra sound evaluation and the pain of claudication when exercising indicates I have it.
Avatar n tn I am not sure which medication your mother is taking, but Evista (raloxifene) can cause muscle cramps of the legs. Please have your mother make an appointment with her physician.
Avatar m tn Allergy shots or immunotherapy are usually recommended if the allergen cannot be avoided and symptoms are hard to control. Regular injections of the allergen are usually given (with each dose slightly larger than the previous dose) until a maximum dose is reached. However, these do not work for everybody and require frequent follow-up to your attending physician. Indeed, they may require years of treatment, but they work in most cases.
Avatar m tn These results also highlight the potential future role for response-guided therapy with the goal of improving treatment outcomes and potentially shortening the duration of therapy for the majority of patients.
Avatar n tn Other forms of treatment post-operatively would include additional radiation therapy, or hormonal treatment with Tamoxifen or Raloxifene. All of these additional treatments are aimed to lessen the chance of recurrence as well as prevent the future development of frankly invasive cancers. Regards.
Avatar n tn I suggest you check for hernia, also consult a docter at the earliest it could be because of multiple causes like fluid collection or cyst formation.
Avatar n tn What are the symptoms present? Fine-needle aspiration or FNA is usually done as an initial screening tool for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Clinical outcomes for suspicious category in FNA biopsy include the patient's sex and nodule size as possible predictors of malignancy. ( ref: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19415954) It is best that you discuss the results with your doctor for proper evaluation.

Avatar n tn Many women have some type of nipple discharge or fluid when their breasts are squeezed, and its normal.
