Avatar f tn I am 51 and am very frightened as last week I suffered my first ever seizure. It lasted about 30 seconds and I was just apparently staring glassily at my husband after shaking. I have been told I won't be able to drive for a year. My CT scan was clear though. I'm asthmatic as well, and at the time of seizure had been in intense pain from a urinary tract infection.
Avatar m tn dr told me yesterday that no more inerferon due to a seizure.
473378 tn?1207597956 friday night my daughter was sleeping downstairs on the floor (she is 17, the was around 2am) she got a call from her brother telling her to opening the front door and let him and his friend in. She woke up again when they got there and she talked to them briefly and she went back to sleep. Her brother and friend went to sleep downstairs also and they woke up to her making choking sounds.
Avatar f tn You may not even read this comment since it has been 2 years since you posted but I had my first seizure at the age of 52 (late last year) It was diagnosed as a complex partial seizure. I lost conciesness 2 time within a minute. I was unable to speak or see and although I could hear my wife yelling to me, she seemed far away. I came out of it and went into hyperventalation. I was wrung out when it was over. I slept half the time for the next 3 days.
Avatar f tn I was put on long protcol and took burserilin and then Gonal F. Small dose for first 5 days then when low response increased to 300 dose. Only four follicles but reponding too slowly. Should I have an AMH test before nest go and will just incresing the dose of Gonal f help. I am 29 years old. My FSH was only 8 last and and changed after I had my Fallopian tubes removed could this have made a difference.
1653487 tn?1303524162 I just recently had my first (that I am aware of) seizure at 35 years of age... My husband witnessed the episode but I have no memory of it happening. This happened in my sleep this past Sunday night (March 27th)... After two days in the hospital and the plethora of tests, the MRI came back normal but the EEG showed abnormalities in the back right lobe of my brain. I was placed on an anti-seizure medication - Keppra 1000mg and told that I can not drive for at least 6 months...
Avatar n tn First of all congrats of becoming negative. As per current terminology, you are considered as RVR ( who get negative after 4 weeks of treatment) , in Geno 2 & 3 this does happen, it means your body is responding good to the medicine and your chances of SVR ( permanent clearence) are very bright. Moreover now a days doctors do consider to shorten the treatment duration of Geno 2 & 3 to 4 months (16 weeks) if the patient becomes negative in first four weeks.
Avatar m tn You are not a rapid responder, but your responding to treatment.
Avatar f tn Our 4 year old Aussie just had a first seizure this morning. I have dealt with seizures before in another dog, but the aftermath of this is very different and hard. The jerking and then the stiffness lasted about 5 minutes or so, but when he started to come out of it and relax, he jumped up and started barking fiercely at us like he didn't know us. We got the other dogs out of the room in case of agitation or attack.

Avatar m tn I don't think some doctors know the correlation between high iron and the direct effect on SOC. I think the studies on phlebotomy are relatively new compared to when they started the SOC. There is so much documentation now and even though my doc is not a hepatologist, this was one of the first things we discussed. He would not treat until levels were down.
Avatar f tn Just got the phone call, that after 4 weeks treatment with SOC and telaprivir, that l am a non responder. have to cease all medication at once. Am in a bit of shock. dont know were to go from here., I am genotype 1a, CT and have mild to moderate fibrosis. it will be ery har sitting around doing 'nothing' for the hep c. am already ready a healthy life style. feeling very depressed. l know there are others in my position.
Avatar f tn i am slow responder still 400 copies week 11, geno 3 any hope for me if i extend treatment to 48 weeks... any evidence out there to support extending for slow responders.
Avatar f tn I am having my first-ever root canal tomorrow, and I'm terrified. Will the procedure hurt? I've never been a fan of shots, but several years ago when having my wisdom teeth removed I went into a seizure as the oral surgeon injected the anesthetic, so I'm really nervous, and I keep hearing horror stories about people accidentally getting painful shots directly into the nerve, and how the procedure itself is extremely painful. I am not currently in any pain.
Avatar f tn Yes, I was a slow responder during my first treatment. I became PCR undetectable at 20 weeks but not TMA undetectable.
Avatar n tn Having a seizure for the first time is very frightening. I too had a seizure for the first time in 2009. My seizures are complex and some of the symptoms your experiencing may be from a fear of having another seizure. With that said, you should see a Neurologist who specializes and treats epilepsy to make sure these symptoms are not different kinds of seizure or symptoms of epileptic discharges. Try to keep your blood sugar, stress and sleep patterns stable.
544172 tn?1216520164 Not sure I understand your post, but I can't think of what the advantage would be of continuing to treat if you have any viral load at 24 weeks of treatment. VL is not supposed to fluctuate while on treatment. The drugs are supposed to keep it going down, down, down until it's UND. Is there a placebo arm you could have been on? If not, and you did get the telaprevir, I'm wondering why it would work if you try it again when it didn't work the first time.
Avatar m tn Null Responder: A null responder is someone who achieves little or no decrease in hepatitis C viral load during HCV treatment. http://www.thebody.com/content/art46371.html So yes you should be treated as such, that said you are a eRVR which is great, hang in there and do the 48, i wouldn't quit with having that eRVR.
Avatar n tn Until last yr wel so they think - i hav a condition called chiari malformation. Mine startd in labour wiv my first. if u wud like 2 know more pls message me bk.
1194986 tn?1268671845 I do believe that once your viral load rises while you are still on treatment, that is considered a viral breakthrough and classifies you as a non-responder. I think your doctor was probably correct in advising you to stop tx. But I am confused as to why you would be on a "24 week program" if you are a Geno 1 treating in the U.S. Are you on another drug as well besides interferon and ribavirin?
