Avatar m tn Soon after removing the nail tips, I started noticing my nails on my thumbs started to change colors. I went to the dermatologist and they prescribed Penlac to treat the nail fungus.

Avatar m tn Ouch Exactly! I am in Canada and the protocol is the same up here. The question for me is do I really need 24 more weeks of "treatment" because of missing rigid RVR by a few weeks. It's a tough decision to make, I will attempt to get through next 12 weeks and decide then. In regards to the Wellbrutin, it just occured to me that it must be doing something or I would not be engaged in this conversation.

451988 tn?1209911825 If you were not UND by week 4, you should consider extending treatment to 48 weeks because your rate of success has decreased to 50% if you only do 24 weeks. Also, some geno 3's with cirrhosis do choose to go 48 weeks, just to play it safe. The "an injection a day for a year" is Infergen. I can't remember hearing about any geno 3 on Infergen. So calm down. Geno 3's do have a good shot at clearing. Are you on weight based ribavirin?
Avatar f tn more than 800,000 IU/mL My initial viral load of 600000 iu/ml before treatment will fall in the bracket of low viral load and not high viral load. As per the European protocol or SOC, i have a normal liver with low initial viral load and achieved RVR at 4th week and 11 week. Hence their recomendation is that I can stop treatment at 24 weeks.
Avatar f tn I took the standard treatment of two antibiotic tablets and one antibiotics injection (cannot remember the exact names but they are something like arythromyzin and Ceftriaxone). We were told not to have any sexual contact for 7 days, but we had sex on day 4, with no oral sex just kissing and protected anal sex and anal finger foreplay. My questions are: 1. How long does it take for the medication to actually kill the bacteria and cure the gonorrhea? Is it before 7 days or on day 7? 2.
Avatar f tn Okay, my turn to ask a question! (Sorry, it's long!) The trouble with having all this information (ie. Google) at our disposal these days is that when we feel something is wrong, we try to fit it into the box of a diagnosis, because clearly every grouping of symptoms falls neatly into a nice little well-established illness/disorder/syndrome, right? Ha! Just kidding. My symptoms appear to bear similarities to MS (which is why I've been hanging out here for the last 12 months!

Avatar m tn I've never done the TCA so I don't really know. The skin down there is pretty resilient so don't sweat it too much. Be prepared for it to appear as if it's going to scar as that's the trouble I ran into with my electro-cauterization and liquid nitrogen treatments. It may look like it's scarred for a bit but the skin seems to get back to normal eventually.

Avatar m tn While a sustained virological response (SVR) can be achieved by a finite 48-week course of pegylated-interferon alfa-2a (Peg-IFNalpha-2a), it has been suggested that longer-term treatment can improve the rate of SVR. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effects of prolonged and routine Peg-IFNa-2a therapy in patients with HBeAg-positive CHB.
Avatar n tn 2-3 weeks is typical with or without treatment but some folks do take longer. When it gets to the end of the time frame though like you are and you used antivirals, best to follow up to see what else is going on. just to confirm, are you male or female?
Avatar f tn I am currently on 20 MG of methotrexate per week and 5MG of predinsone daily, which has tapered down from 60MG daily. I have been on these drugs since August. If you are taking methotrexate how long have you been on it?
Avatar f tn and the duration of therapy should be 4 weeks. More evidence, I ypthink, that the dermatologist is not up to speed on syphilis.
