Avatar n tn I am age 66. At age 50 my GYN put me on Prempro. I had no symptoms of menopause. He said that it will happen and I can prevent the discomfort of it by starting estrogen therapy. He was right, I have never had any of the things people talk about. What I am wondering, would I maybe not even had the symptoms anyway? I have been on it for 16 years now. My GYN has now prescribed a low dose, but how do I know if I even need it? I am basically healthy.
Avatar f tn Three days ago I went to a new doctor to get the hormones adjusted and she said she does not prescribe bioidenticals and gave me a prescription for Prempro. I do not want to take this and I told her so. She said she does not believe bioidenticals are any safer than Prempro and if I needed to have an adjustment in my Rx due to break through symptoms of hot flashes and severe brain fog along with zero energy then I needed to try something different than what I had been doing.
Avatar f tn The next day, September 18, I abruptly stopped the Prempro and let my doctor know I felt I had been on the Prempro long enough and also due to the breast cysts. So for me it's only been a little over a month since I've stopped the Prempro. I was told I don't need to return for a year. That is amazing your screening showed no cysts after six months. this gives me hope.
Avatar f tn Recently the doctor changed my Prempro dosage from .45/1.5 mg per day to double that amount. Do you think the change in Prempro could change my thyroid levels? Should I request new thyroid blood tests or wait for my annual testing which comes up in 6 months?
Avatar f tn Have been taking Prempro for 14 yrs. Hot flashes and osteopenia (pre-osteoporosis). Awaiting biopsy results for microcalcifications around or in ducts. Can prempro increase risk of BC, in particular, DCIS?

667078 tn?1316000935 I am in the Amgen 386 trial with Doxil. I had my first follow up CT Scan and all my tumors have shrunk and my CA 125 is down to 49. I am very happy. I am handling the Doxil with no side effects accept fatigue and my white blood cells keep going down to 1400 so I have to delay the Doxil. Iam at stage 4 so this is a miracle to me.
667078 tn?1316000935 CT Scan showed my Cancer has spread. The good news is they think I can get into a clinical trial.

237053 tn?1258828426 I heartily requested I be able to go on Prempro to my GYN. He had me do the standard hormone therapy first, then allowed the Prempro. I was on it for over ten years and I felt it was very positive for my MS not to have periods! Then came the big Prempro crash and controversy. I stayed on it anyway for several more years without insidence then the pedulum swung back and some people have resumed its use again.
Avatar n tn The latest is the inability to have an orgasm. That made me go see my doctor who prescribed Prempro. My maternal grandmother died with breast cancer. I have a history of seizure disorder and on Dilantin. After 2 days of taking Prempro I decided not for me. I think I need Progesterone and would like to know if others use the cream and what brand. Or any advice appreciated. Thank- you.
Avatar f tn m not a depressed type, always happy, not moody. I had to go on Prempro, it took 2 weeks, I was better. I am having trouble with words, simple words, I forget how to spell them, or even say them. I am really frustrated with that. But I'm going to get a Natural one, Hormones and then ween myself of the prempro. That can cause Cancer . Hope that answer your ?
976897 tn?1379167602 It was once believed that the heart contained no stem cells but this was found to be false, they do exist.A peliminary trial involving patients with heart failure who were having bypass surgery. During surgery a piece of right atrium tissue was removed to cultivate approx 2 million stem cells for each patient. 21 patients were in the trial, 14 given stem cells and 7 nothing. The 7 patients showed no change, but all 14 with stem cell therapy showed increase in EF from 30% to 38% after 4 months.
Avatar f tn Wonderful news! You must be sooo relieved to finally have those numbers back up and to be able to start tx. Congrats.
1367233 tn?1316104535 Juttutin, what is your geno? It sounds like the efficacy of PSI-7977 surpasses that of telaprevir and boceprevir by a wide margin, particularly re treatment that does not include INF. I know someone who will be interested in participating in a Phase 3 trial and will watch for info about that. Presumably it won't be possible to do a double blind trial of trial drug and ribovirin versus SOC, since people would know immediately whether or not they're getting INF.
Avatar n tn I was on birth control pills at that time and have been taking them for over 10 years. I have no vaginal bleeding or discomfort. I started Prempro last month for a month, but stopped due to symptoms of bloatness and weight gain. I am scheduled for a D&C next week, but I am very apprehensive and concerned if this is cancer. In such a short time, how can I have developed this endometrial thickness? Could it be a fibroid or polyps?
Avatar f tn I am 54 yrs. of age and have been period free for 8 yrs. Within the last year and a half I have been seeking treatment for horrible burning inside and out of the vaginal area. My doctor has done many tests and has said that I have vaginal atrophy (sp) and told me to use replens. She also recommended Prempro as I still have a uterus. I no longer have health insurance and can't afford the prempro and the replens DOESN"T work.
Avatar n tn It could be the prempro. Ask your doctor about going off of it for a few month and see if that helps. I heard that estrogen can cause congestion along with other medications. I too have non allergic rhinitis but mine is considered Vasomotor rhinitis.k I had this for 6 yrs. but I do not take any medication, just nasal steroid sprays and nasal rinses and it does not do anything. I even had sinus surgery - total ethmoidectomy, opening the ostia of the maxillary sinuses and partial turbinectomy.
Avatar f tn I just started prempro 4 nights ago, and my hot flashes (and subsequent clod flashed) and night seats have gotten worse, not better. I'm only (almost) 46 and was taking DHEA and Pregnenolone....and they worked well up until a couple of months ago. I up'd the dosage, and it still won't work for me anymore. I really REALLY didn't/don't want to take synthetics, but it all just became too much...nauseous too....want to cry all the time.
Avatar m tn (ASMB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing a new class of oral therapeutics for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and novel oral biotherapeutics for disorders associated with the microbiome, today announced initiation of a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial of ABI-H0731, its initial Core protein Allosteric Modifier (CpAM) for the treatment of chronic HBV. The Phase 1a study will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABI-H0731 in healthy volunteers.
Avatar f tn Just received the call that let me know that I'm in a 24 week Lambda interferon and ribavairin trial. Meds start the end of next week. I'll be glad to give updates to the experience or answer any questions that I can.
Avatar f tn Have either 8 or 14 weeks left on my trial. Feel great most of the time. This new format has me all mixed up !!!!
