com and take it to him/her. Sensipar is likely to make you feel sick, and new evidence suggests that Sensipar can make your osteoporosis worse if you take it. Most insurance companies will not pay for this drug for treating primary hyperparathyroidism... and they shouldn't! There is good evidence that taking Sensipar is worse for you than if you took nothing and simply ignored the parathyroid tumor in your neck!
I am post thyroidectomey 2012 and have experienced issues with fatigue, vision changes, muscle spasms. Falling, GERD, headaches and brain fog. My calcium and PTH have alternated being high. One is always high and the other normal. Calcium is at 11.5 currently and PTH 37.5. My doctor wants me to consider Sensipar. After reading up on it am more confused than ever. I do not believe I want to take this drug. Scan was negative but from research am not holding it to be accurate.
my WBC has been ranging 12.2- 25 with high lymphs and Grans, on and off. Proteinuria, low creatine, elevated ld-5. Still waiting on "tumor markers" ( other labs) ....ionized calcium 6.6..,
Do these issues seem related? I've seen an oncologist, endo, ent, cardiologist....my GP....and i see pulmonology tomorrow....everyone is baffled. One wants me to go to NYC to get a 2nd opinion...the there's are calling friends in high places and suggesting malignancy.....any ideas?
She had a pace maker placed 2 weeks ago and ever since she has broken out in a whole body rash and no one can say what it is or where it came from. Her skin looks like the skin of a chicken, very fine small bumps all over that are extremely itchy from the inside out. We have tried everything over the counter and natural and all be it the outside is clearing up peeling and drying out the itching on the inside is still there.
I have many of the symptoms and lesions on MRI and am seeing an MS specialist the beginning of December. My question is really about seizures and MS. Monday I had a couple of Grand Mal seizures, they were not the first in my lifetime, but there haven't been many. Since the seizures on Monday (today is Thur.) my legs are VERY weak. Could the seizure been the beginning of a relapse? The seizures happened after a horrible bout with cluster headaches.
I had my thyroid removed for cancer in 2006 and starting experiencing simple partial seizures a month later and have been dealing with them ever since. I have had two tonic clonic seizures and the auras I have always revolve around my menstraul cycle even with being on birth control and two seizure meds. I know for certain the seizures are in direct relation to having my thyroid removed.
Will medication help depression that is not continuos. I am an epileptic and 99% of my seizures occur when I am depressed or worried. Things depress me about twice a month, for two or three days. I believe if I didn't get depressed my seizures would be under control. Does depression medicine help ocassional depression?
it is a good question i started having seizures just a couple months before i turned 30 never a sign or any indication that led up to my first g mal but ive been diagnosed with bipolar borderline personality disorder and ptsd and for my seizures ive been tested and tested to see where they might be comin from ive always have joked sayin its my mind short circuiting cause i just process way to much at one time but after readin up on my mental diagnosis im really beginning to wonder because im now
which occur in my temporal lobe in my brain (I believe that is the part of your brain near your eyes). When I have a seizure, I get a strange feeling, and nothing else. No twitching or grand mal seizures. When my seizures are strong, I have a feeling that everything is fake, almost as if someone told you that you are in the Matrix.
My doctor started me on 250mg of Keppra once a day, 90 minutes before laying down to go to sleep.
I have. My daughter has epilepsy and she doesn't sleep well at all. She is currently on Magnesium and Calcium and Melatonin and she is doing well. It has decreased her seizures. If she doesn't sleep well her seizures increase. I also found diet works as well. No sugar, wheat, dairy or gluten.
oh my parathyroid. Several labs show pth and tsh are normal. I was put on Sensipar for 10 days which barely lowered my calcium. Calcium ranges from 10.3-12.8 depending on the day, and ionized calcium 6.6.... Also, LD-5 elevated, low creatine and proteinuria ....I've seen ent, endo, cardiologist, oncologist....now what? Any ideas?
I developed seizures as a full adult and Pauli Girl was too damn good to give up just because of all the damn new pills added to my diet. After some real scares from continued seizures despite multiple medications I left the Girl. Out fishing I still occasionly think of cold beer but haven't had a seizure since stopping. Is that what stopped them? Don't know but it's not worth it to me to start experimenting.
The phases of zapping our or spacing out could be petit mal seizures or better known as absence seizures wherein the patient is physically present but mentally cannot recapitulate the events and thoughts later. These come in brief phases without any physical signs of seizures like tonic clonic activity. This needs ruling out by an EEG and MRI brain to search for any focal lesion particularly temporal lobe.
Hi my name is Luke and I am 24 years old and an Iraq veteran. I spent 4 years in the marines and have been out for about 3 years but have recently been afflicted with seizures, two in one day actually. This is the first time that I know of that I have ever had this issue so it is a bit alarming. I was put on keppra for the next year but I read on another ptsd related seizure post that for non epileptic seizures such as mine, anti seizure meds are pointless.
I recently found out I am about 5 weeks pregnant, I have an appt to see my OB in 2 weeks. I am also an epileptic with complex-partial seizures, I am not on any meds for it right now and I know anything I could take would be unhealthy for the baby. Does anyone know what I can do to try and help? Having seizures and preggo symptoms is just too much and I feel awful all the time. I can't sleep, I have constant headaches, and I throw up when I have a seizure. Please help!!
I am on a combination of Tegretol and Topamax and my seizures are mostly under control. However my family and friends continually blame stress as a major cause of my seizures. I dont ever feel very stressed and I feel that this is a simplistic understanding of what epilepsy is. Please help... is stress a major / minor cause of epileptic seizures?
He is toldly soaking wet after and so tired he must sleep. He can talk and answer questions and is aware. The length of the seizures varies. He is constantly nauseaed. He is 25 years old and had just lost his job then these seizures started. He's very tired all the time. Before this came on he was very active, almost to active. Never still. Now he lays around all the time. If he gets to tired he has a seizure. His moods go up and down. He has problems sleeping.
