Hi. I was wondering if i could use Pataday if i have ocular herpes? Are there any risks that i should be aware of when using Pataday?
Zaditor is NOT the same as Patanol or Pataday. My doctor told me not to mix and match. NOW AARP Rx is sending me a generic Olopatadine HCL by Rising Labs and I am paying the same price as the Brand Patanol which works great for me. I live in NE NJ..
I believed it was pink eye and when i went to the doctor they prescribed Pataday as well as some other drops i would apply 4 times a day. My eyes got better and i did not wear my contacts at all. They said to only put your contacts in after 2 days of my eyes bein completely white .
Weeks passed and i did that. Then i noticed my eyes started getting red again. Not itchy or hurting just red. So about 3 weeks later i got checked out again.
I was scared and revisited the doctor. The doctor prescribed me Pataday. On using Pataday for a day, I was afraid if it could resolve the issue. I took a second opinion from a diff. Doctor. The doctor prescribed me Lotopred, Ikul, Systane ultra eye drops for every four hours a week and said not to wear lenses for 10 days. I followed the instructions and my eyes got back to normal.
I went to my opthamologist. The doctor prescribed Tobramycin and Pataday. Using both eye drops the condition got better with just a bit in the right eye.
My opthamologist took me off the antibiotic and told me to do the Pataday (allergy drops). Which I have. Yet, my right eye is tearing excessively and my right eye is tearing a little bit. The inner tear duct is very itchy and sting at times.I already got another opionion and was told that it's allergies.
I suffer from the exact same thing with the inside corner of my eye driving me crazy at times it itches so bad. What has helped me is Rx eye drops called Pataday. It is for itchy allergy eyes, and sometimes I put a drop or two on the end of a q-tip and dab it in that corner of my eye and sometimes I put the drop directly into the eye. Works wonders. Whether it is allergy or irritation of some sort, the drops take the itch away for me. I hope this works for you.
t tell if it has added to already existing discomfort. Have beenn Restasis, Alrex , Pataday and now Muro ointment. I see a well known Corneaologist and he wants me to have the Amniotic Membrane Transplant especially now that I have developed the eye cysts. I don't know what to do -- wld like other opinions on this procedure and its history on long term resolution of Conjunctivochalsis. Also, are my cornea issues related to the extended use of Restasis? Alrex & Pataday?
Systane, Blink, Refresh, Soothe and something for allergies like Patanol or Pataday. If your allergy is bad enough to require a steroid then lotemax, or pred mild would be better choices.
I think if they find spinal cord lesions only and none in the brain you are thought to have TM. Usually with TM they find a clear sensory line on examination (i have this), also they find your reflexes to be indicative on a spinal lesion or inflammation (I have this) but I think to the lesions can be a different shape. Many people on this website have been diagnosed with TM and then later developed MS.
TM can be triggered by many diseases including viruses, bacterial infection, MS, lupus or the cause may be unknown and called ideopathic TM. However, people who develop a single attack of TM have a greater chance of developing MS, somewhere between 15-80%.
DId your neurologist do MRI's of your head and spinal cord to see if MS type lesions where present? Did he order a lumbar puncture to analyze your CSF to rule out/in infection as the possible cause of your TM?
m curious to see how much of a link you believe there is between TM and MS? I was recently diagnosed TM but all my tests came back negative for MS (i.e. no bands, no brain lesions, normal ranges on VEP, normal field of vision tests, and normal on the newer vision MS test). Just curious what your thoughts are on the link and maybe what your tests were initially for when you were diagnosed TM vs. MS.
Thanks!
Hi, when I was 37 and 6 weeks pregnant, I got what was finally diagnosed as TM. I had never had any neurological symptoms before (nor no underlying conditions, wasn't sick or anything) and was told it was probably the first onset of MS. They didn't MRI me or give me any treatment because of the pregnancy. My TM was what they call a mild case--didn't seem mild to me! (extensive numbness torso/legs/feet and strange sensations esp.
I was diagnosed with GPC and recently ended the use of steroid drops. Ever since I've stoped the steroid drops, I've woken up with crusty, glued eyes. Could the lingering GPC be causing this? I've been doing artificial tears multiples times a day and Pataday drops 2x a day. I have a follow up appointment soon, I'm thinking about trying to move it up if this is something serious.
Thanks JJ. I'm one of the " lucky " ones, my TM led me to a quick MS diagnosis. My TM attack put me in the hospital on 1/9/15 and I'm not healing as fast as I hoped. I found out today that it might be because last week's repeat MRI shows that instead of getting better my lesion has gotten bigger. So now we are looking at a five day IV course of steroids that luckily I can do from home this time instead of having to go in the hospital.
Hi I was told I had TM, I had a lesion on C2. I had tinglinging in both feet, legs in my pelvis, a tight band sensation across and around my chest, numbness in arms and fingers were tinglinging, both sides of feet, legs, and arms at the same time.
I thought I had a pinched nerve because I play in a womans soocer league and got hit in the back of the neck with a direct kick with the ball.
Hi and welcome,
I don't know a lot about TM spinal cord lesions to say if it's normal for TM lesions to disappear or not, i've heard of other TM patients where it's happened and their new neurologist disbelieves they ever had TM until they see their MRI evidence, and I have read a couple of medical papers documenting this too, which suggests to me that it happens but it's not common for spinal cord lesions to completely disappear.
OK - This is long winded, and my questions are at the bottom if you want to skip over the history part. There just is not a lot of information on TM with underlying MS and what happens years after recovery from TM.
In October 2005 I had a major MS exacerbation which resulted in me being diagnosed with MS 6 months later. Apparently I have had MS for 18 years, I had optic neuritis in 1990, and my MS symptoms were very mild up until the exacerbation.
