After having surgery in Oct ' '04 for stage 3C and then having a year and 1/2 remission, I've be battleing a 2.6cm lesion down in the colon area. 2nd time on taxol gave me a 6 month remission. 10 months on doxil brought my ca125 in normal range after 2nd treatment. This past June and July numbers went up again. CAT scan showed same lesion still there. I started topotecan July 28th with a ca125 of 142. After 1st round, 3 infusions, ca124 dropped to 42.
i used pressure bands. you can get them from your pharmacy. they're generally used for those who have car sickness. ask if they carry them if you can't find them. they helped me, but everyone is different. try to take sips of water throughout the day. if you are sick like this every day for a long time you should go talk to your doctor. they do have medicine to help this sort of thing. thought i am wearing of it (ie: thalidomide used in the past was thought safe.
I need to know what is wrong? how do I stop the pain? I had chemo for Limphoma, and I started to get massive body aches, my right hand started to get numb and I was told that after the chemo it would be over. But is not, I finished chemo July of 2009 and I am still in pain, my hand is so bad I have to keep it down, because it gets numb constantly, I told my doctor and she said that it has nothing to do with the chemo. I bearly sleep and I am tired all the time.
It is very difficult to treat, but current therapies include steroids, vitamins, cryosurgery, thalidomide and UVB light. If staphylococcus or other infection is present, then antibiotics may be needed.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Treatment includes steroids, vitamins, cryosurgery, thalidomide and UVB light. In the event that staphylococcus or other infection is present, antibiotics have proven effective. Your father needs to take the antibiotics but for the other treatment options you need to discuss them with his dermatologist.

Hi,
Prurigo nodularis is very hard to treat, but current therapies include steroids, vitamins, cryosurgery, thalidomide and UVB light. In the event that staphylococcus or other infection is present, antibiotics have proven effective.
A physician may administer a strong dose of prednisone, which will almost immediately stop the itch/scratch cycle. However, cessation of steroids allows relapse to occur, usually within a few weeks.
I have been treated with several meds, including, but not limited to Iodine drops, Thalidomide, Prednisone, and topical steroids. I am now on 10 mg of Prednisone. I have been on that dosage for 6 years now, and the medication is not treating my body very nicely with weakened joints that ache, bad bruising on my arms and legs, weight gain, and a host of other problems that go with the steroid use. One of the best things for the E/N is the application of a topical steroid, Lydex cream.
So of you have say 2 drinks in an hour, your blood alcohol and your breast milk will have 0.08% alcohol. This amount is almost the same that is found in normal juice (yes there is naturally very very trace amounts in all juice). As long as you aren't drinking heavily and nursing at the same time, you are fine to have a drink every now and then without worrying about harming your baby.
I wont go into "random" testing. Alcohol is a toxin so your Liver stops all other functions (and there are dozens of them) to detoxify your Blood. Its the liver that removes Met. So detoxing the alcohol can cause the Met to build up in your system.
You dont say how much Met you take. To be a problem you would have to drink for a Looooooong time as in alcoholic behavior where so the liver never has a chance to go back to its other functions.
m about to ask is not something I partake in on any kind of regular basis, we just think we are back in college and proceed to act and drink like fools. This trip is usually 5 days and consists of getting up at noon going to the pool and starting with the beer before we eat (extremely stupid I now realize) and basically drink beer all day and most of the night and pretty much only eating dinner.
