Avatar f tn Searching, I found you and am excited that there is a group that may actually be able to answer some of my questions. The first thing he wants to do is put me on solumedrol for 5 days, I am not currently in a flair. Any reason I should put myself through that if I am not currently having symptoms?
Avatar f tn I know steroids can make you susceptible to infections, but has anyone developed a UTI on solumedrol? I had the unmistakable first inklings of one a bit ago. I rushed out for cranberry juice and a blueberry smoothie (blueberries are supposed to have the same effect as cranberries, and it's a good excuse for a fruit smoothie!!) and I'm hoping I can keep it at bay this way, but I guess I'll know in a few hours. These things tend to come on fast for me.
1172359 tn?1310667693 I am scheduled Monday to do an IV for three days of Solumedrol. Has anyone else done that and if so, what is your opinion. I am alittle nervous about it.

Avatar n tn It sounds to me more like a genetic thing going on. There is a dilution gene that might be coming into play here that I would suspect is more likely to be responsible for this. There are only a handful of breeds that are affected by the dilution gene, and the Newfoundland is one such breed. The dilution gene affects eumelanin, a pigment responsible for the black color, and phaeomelanin, a pigment responsible for brown colors.
97654 tn?1214348650 ve had a horrible experience with Solumedrol as well.....Back in March I had extreme leg and groin numbness and went on IV Solumedrol for 3 days....I had a nasty reaction to it, but it DID take away the numbness and vision problems almost immediately....Well, within 48 hours anyway..... In May the left side of my head and face went numb and because I was visiting the MS Clinic at that time, I declined the Solumedrol treatment.....That numbness didn't go away for 20 days.....
Avatar m tn it is not 250iu/ml, the test was made without dilution and it says superior to >250iu/ml.
Avatar m tn Does a trace amount of hiv blood, maybe a drop at most, survive in water if it is in about 2 cups of cold water? Does the dilution factor make it non infectious? Seconldy, does soap and water kill hiv virus ?
Avatar m tn Name: CSF - HSV 1 IgG ABS TO HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS 1 Code: 9451CI Methodology: EIA REMARK : In order to achieve comparable relationship between CSF & Serum - 1. Pathogen Specific IgG in serum (dilution 1:404) & CSF (dilution 1:2) are run on CSF IgG HSV 1 kit separately (for which there are no established reference ranges) & CSF/serum IgG HSV 1 quotient calculated. 2. Total IgG in serum & CSF are run separately & CSF/serum Total IgG quotient calculated. 3.
Avatar m tn This is very Important , tell them you need HbsAg Quant with Dilution . Ask them to send the blood samples to Gurgaon . Customer Care no 011-39885050.
Avatar m tn Ok assuming it's true then the challenge now is to find a place that does dilutions, and agrees to withdraw your blood, dilute it and send it to this lab. Does anyone have idea what lab this can done at preferably at California? Studyforhope, can you please review the attached PDF: http://www.speedyshare.com/wqKw6/HBsAg-Qualitative-1-2013.pdf and see if there is a possibility this might not work? I don't know why you can't view it.
97654 tn?1214348650 At one point this was happening about 15 times per day. I took a round of Solumedrol (3 days) and began taking 300 mg of Lyrica per day. It now happens 4 or 5 times per week. My doctor prescribed another round of Solumedrol which is scheduled for next week (30 days from the first one). I am trying to decide whether I want to do the 2nd round of Solumedrol. It made me feel horrible and was a miserable 4 or 5 days.
Avatar n tn Hi, You are talking about immunotherapy? If you are specifically found allergic to or having a hypersensitivity to the allergen or antigen of 'cockroach' - a solution with the antigen in many times dilution would be prepared and is given on a monthly basis or at fixed periodic intervals and the dilution decreased gradually - so that you are desensitized or are not allergic to it any longer. Let us know if that helps. You could post us if you have any other queries. Regards.
Avatar f tn I had a 4 day Solumedrol drip and then step down pack in February and it made me worse. All my muscles tightened up and I have more pain than I did before. Call it a major fibromyalgia attack. Even now in May, I am still as stiff and woozy as i was after the glucocorticoid therapy. Sigh. Did nothing for me that I can tell. I did sweat a lot during the treatment so maybe i lost a few toxins?
Avatar f tn t help, so I had the 3 day mega dose IV solumedrol. I did not do the tapering off pills, because I was having a reaction to the medicine. Since the end of February my ankles are swollen everyday, all day. I asked my neurologist, and she said it is a side effect of the solumedrol. Any one else experience this.....swollen ankles for so long? When will they return to normal? Help please. Thank you.
Avatar f tn I am currently being treated with 1 gm Solumedrol once/month. I had a three day course last spring and felt AWFUL afterwards. I did eventually feel a bit better overall, so maybe it was worth it. Even the one day dose makes me feel pretty lousy. My sx actually seem to get worse for a few days afterward! I'm not dx, but symptomatically fit the diagnostic criteria (we'll see what the 3T MRI has to say...
Avatar m tn t know anything about abott architect again but said they do quant by dilution method. May be the same. I think hardly anyone knows about abott architect in india perticularly North India.
Avatar m tn so since there are no diluitions the values very high are extremely precise, abbott architect needs dilution and if the tech makes a mistake during diluition there maybe an error of 500-1000iu/ml
Avatar m tn Hi nved. 1:80 is "considered" as negative or as there's little diagnostic value even if it is on the positive. Negative would technically be the last dilution where there's no flurescense observed under the mircoscope and in your case it would be 1:160 (the amount of dilution doubles each time), but the one reported is the last one where there's observable presence of flurescence. It can be confusing! Are you gluten free and /or grain free and very low carb?
Avatar f tn Got a call from local health dept.. they said I needed to come in and retest because the results came back 1:1 dilution.. she won't tell me what that mean exactly.. maybe she didn't know either.. just insisted I come in for retest... what does it mean?
195469 tn?1388322888 These are the same problems I have with Solumedrol. Diabetics have a hard time with Solumedrol and it seems that insulin or diabetic pills, cannot work hard enough to get high blood sugar levels down. Here where we live in Virginia, they will not do a treatment, if your blood sugar level is about 200. This is a good drug, but very hard on someone that is prone to high blood pressure and high blood sugar.
Avatar f tn I started rebif and solumedrol at the same time in July, but call your doctor.. Are call the MS lifelines??
