Is the pitting edema progressive? Are you on pioglitazone? or rosiglitazone? Answers to these questions would further help.
Evangelin posted about this youtube video. "Sugar , the bitter truth"
It is a long video , but what I did not know before watching it is that
High Fructose Corn Syrup metabolically is as bad as alcohol for the liver.
The majority of processed foods we find in the supermarket have High Fructose
Corn Syrup which can majorly effect obesity and fatty liver.
Studies of these medications—including metformin, rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone—are being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and should answer the question of whether these medications are beneficial in NASH.
Rosiglitazone, an old diabetes drug is active on hbsag lowering and synergistic with nucs and interferon.these are the drugs to study not stupid nucs that acts on hbvdna only making mutations.
on the contrary studies on these cheap and generic durgs are not funded by drug makers, on the contrary we see stupid doctors without trials or studies saying now that these drugs can make liver damage while it is the opposite.
Meanwhile, he and his colleagues are investigating the biological mechanisms by which vitamin E or pioglitazone might reverse fatty liver disease. Cusi’s research group is testing pioglitazone against fatty liver in Hispanics, who seem prone to the disease, and in people with diabetes."

Insulin-sensitizing agents, such as the two new thiazolidinediones, pioglitazone (Actos) and rosiglitazone (Avandia), and metformin (Glucophage)
Medications that lower lipids such as statin drugs and Lopid
Drugs that improve blood flow, such as pentoxifylline (Trental)
Presumably, weight loss through exercise and diet modification along with insulin-sensitizing agents will help reverse fatty infiltration of the liver.
The newer antidiabetic medications make the body more sensitive to insulin and may help reduce liver injury in patients with NASH. Studies of these medications—including metformin, rosiglitazone, and pioglitazone—are being sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and should answer the question of whether these medications are beneficial in NASH."
So NASH is a very serious medical condition which requires expert medical care for the best prognosis.
Specific improvements conferred by vitamin E in comparison with placebo included significant reductions in serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (P < .001), hepatic steatosis (P = .005), lobular inflammation (P = .02), and hepatocellular ballooning (P = .01). No significant improvements in fibrosis scores were observed with use of vitamin E...."

Been doing a bit of research. on www.ivf.com/pcotreat.html and have found that it may be an option for me to have "medicines used....for the treatment of adult onset diabetes... These medications have been shown to reverse the endocrine abnormalities seen with PCOS within two or three months.....We have seen pregnancies result in less than two months in women who concieved in their very first ovulatory menstrual cycle.
On this basis, the EC50 (50% effective concentration) of rosiglitazone was calculated as 9.8 mcM. Rosiglitazone also suppressed replication of HBV strains with core promoter and/or precore mutations in addition to the wild type strain.
"In this study, it was suggested that the replication of HBV was inhibited by rosiglitazone," the researchers concluded. "The mechanism is uncertain and is being investigated now."

For women who are unresponsive to clomiphene,the oral hypoglycemic agents like metformin could be of little help, or pioglitazone, may bring resumption of regular cycles and ovulation. These agents reduce the hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia in PCOS.
These are actually medically prescribed medicines for PCOS.As this syndrome is very common in women the case is often individualised and treatment option will be processed and prescribed.Fell free to talk to your Doc.
I am obese (300lbs), diabetic (type 2) and require medication to control hypetension. I take the following medications – Metformin, Pioglitazone, Victoza (liraglutide), Amlodipine, Ramipril, Bendroflumethiazide, Asprin and Statin.
I have a strange and embareasin problem. I hope someone out there may be able to offer some insight. I have always had sensitive nipples but in the last few days sensitivity in my left nipple has gone crazy.
