We know the tumor is in a slightly different area than it was originally. He is in treatment (Temodar for the second time) for the third recurrence of his tumor. We have always been told it is in an area where surgery has not been an option. The oncologist does say he believes it is a higher grade. We think he believes it is glioblastoma but he won't say that definitely without doing another biopsy.
A month ago my husband (41) had a tumor resection of a GBM in the left temporal/frontal lobe. He is still recovering from surgery and has begun cancer treatment (temodar& radiation) a week ago. He has a previous accident injury where he has struggled with neck pain for ten years. He has been on suboxone for probably 7 years now. He is currently taking his suboxone but is not getting any relief for his head pain.
25, 37.5, 50, 75, and 100. Also, the extended release forms of Venlafaxine capsules come in many strengths too: 37.5, 75, and 150.
Most of the tablet forms will contain Lactose and Gluten. Some of the extended release capsules do not contain neither Gluten nor Lactose. It will help me very much, if I know the dosage form and strength. We might be able to find you a supplier that do not use Lactose and Gluten in its Venlafaxine.
Thanks and be well.
Patient made decision to treat his anaplastic astrocytoma with surgery and Temodar only. No radiation! What is the prognosis for this 33 yr.old male.
Since the diagnosis of Glioblastoma grade 4 in August, my husband has had the tumor removed and completed the round of radiation and chemotherapy - temodar. Recently I have noticed him being very short fused and argumentative. The slightest thing sets him off as if he had been personally attack. I have also noticed depression setting in. I'm assuming this is all part of the treatment and diagnosis.
I really have to push myself to lift any weights (much lighter than before) or do any fast runs. My strengths keep deteriorating and it appears that my muscles just turn into fat and don't develop or at least stay the way how they were before. Has anyone else experience this? Would someone be able to advise how to get my strengths and energy back? I look forward to hear from you.
One thing I can tell you is beware of certain chemos, like temodar , it can cause lukemia in people with NF, and radiation is also a no go for people with NF. Good luck.
Hi, as I had posted previously, I went thru PT for 4 months from Sept-Dec. And started PT again in April and added on OT in May.
For my last PT appt another therapist was working with me because mine was out. My therapist is also the manager there. She said she wanted her to do my evaluation again to see if I've reached my goals. At the start, my upper extremities strengths were about 3/5 and lower extremities range from 2/5-3/5.
My upper extremity strengths are now 3+/5.
Experimentation with the various anti-arrhythmics and strengths available carries a risk, and perhaps your physician doesn't want to head down that path with you. Metoprolol is a beta blocker that is usually well tolerated by most, and perhaps this is why he prescribed it for you. 150mg alone can definitely slow you down, and a dose of that strength can also slowly build beyond the therapeutic level that your doctor intended ypu to be on. I had been on strengths as high as 200mg.
They also help keep you from peeing your self when you cough or throw up before and after you have your baby.
I have done the strengths, got messages, and use those little pulse mechines and nothing has been working so far. My question is there a better way yo fix my back?
Even after 4 months of physical therapy, my upper extremities strengths are around 3/5 and my lower extremity strengths are split between 2/5-3/5. And my bilateral hand grip strengths are 19 when they should be 70.
I just had a barium video swallow test again. I had it 2 yrs ago which showed dysphagia (swallowing dysfunction) for SOLID foods. This time I have dysphagia for ALL - thin liquids, thick liquids, & solids.
I'm 31 weeks and get them a lot specially at work
I had it too and the doctor said its safe to use pepsid acid
