What is the average lifespan, prognosis for systemic amyloidosis??
Someone said that Topotecan worked better when combined with thalidomide -- don't know much more about it than that, although when I have chemo again (when the Arimidex doesn't hold my counts steady anymore) they are threatening me with topotecan next.
thalidomide used in the past was thought safe.
The only thing I can think of would be nerve ending damage which can happen while having treatment. Ask your doctor about that. I had it and it is not nice.
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.
Just to be on the safe side. You never know... Thalidomide was once considered safe too, but the result was catastrophic!
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.
Interferon alfa- 2b plus lamivudine demonstrated inconsistent effects on seroconversion at 6-28 weeks of followup with significant benefit in a pooled analysis from four RCTs using individual patient data. Telbivudine versus adefovir or peginterferon alfa-2a versus lamivudine increased post treatment HBeAg seroconversion. Peginterferon alfa-2a plus lamivudine increased HBeAg seroconversion versus lamivudine alone but not versus peginterferon alfa-2a alone.
HBsAg clearance.
Additionally, all subjects in the 600 mg twice daily regimen group achieved HCV RNA to below LLOQ ( 20 percent in one or more treatment arms) in patients receiving MK-7009 versus patients receiving placebo, respectively, were nausea (28 to 40 percent versus 26 percent), headache (16 to 45 percent versus 37 percent), fatigue (5 to 35 percent versus 32 percent), flu-like symptoms (20 to 26 percent versus 16 percent), anorexia (5 to 25 percent versus 11 percent), diarrhea (6 to 25 percent versus 2
Has anyone found anything else that lessons the symtoms of this? I recently started the Topotecan/Thalidomide course which could add to this problem.
s more likely transmitted by getting body fluids of another person inside your own body - internal contact? genital rubbing versus internal contact. ex girl to girl sex toy swapping versus girl to girl fingering and genital rubbing. What is the medical reason for increased chances at getting stds when the fluids are swapped internally versus externally?
