Wow, I wasn't aware of Tricor causing elevation of blood sugar. Seems I need to research Tricor a bit more.
Its particularly worse combined with tricor. The pain actually feels like its in my bones at the joints. I have taken tricor for almost 20 years and I just started having this problem about 6-8 months ago. The pain in the morning makes me feel like I am 100 and my body is betraying me! This is what I noticed that changed. I initially started off on the brand name fenofibrate, Tricor - had no problems. Then they added Crestor(name brand) because that was the only people that made it.
My brother and I both have this and it is totally under control with meds for both of us. My triglycerides were over 2100 before I started taking Tricor. My brother takes Tricor and Lovastatin. Both of us now have normal readings.
There is a very potent medicine in the drug class known as fenofibrates, named Tricor that was created to specifically reduce triglycerides. It works great, but carries the same warnings as statins. Also, Tricor should not be taken with statins but sometimes is in very extreme cases of total high cholesterol and triglycerides. My total cholesterol at the time was 486.
In addition to that of course I have to take a statin and Tricor. Good news is that Tricor will have a generic out in May. I was also told by my pharmicist that Plavix has a generic coming out in July. Ask your pharmicist if there is a generic of Niaspan due out any time soon.
And as Flycaster has stated, with the Niacin there is a flushing feeling also. It only bothered me if I didn't take an aspirin just before taking the niacin. My doctor told me about that.
Since the hives have appeared after the titanium screws,so it can be due to an allergic reaction. True allergy to titanium is rare.When titanium is combined with other metals like nickel,then allergy can take place as nickel is a common sensitizer.
Diagnosis is done by skin patch test or blood tests for allergy. MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immunostimulation Assay) test is a blood test that is confirmatory for metal allergy.
After breaking his arm my son had a titanium screw put in his shoulder, his shoulder is now swollen and very painfull
The Doctor said he may have a reaction to the titanium screw, Has anyone else had this problem.
Ive been having sever hives for the last 3-4 yes. My dermatologist put me on antihistamines. Nothing has worked. Well, my symptoms have become worse: pain in joints and arms and chest, chronic sinusitis, digestive problems, pain in abdomen. About 3 1/2 years ago my dentisn was doing a root canal and his file broke off in my root area. He told me it was no big deal. We left it in. Now I am wondering if I am allergic to the titanium.
You can google the warnings and side effects of that one. I also take Tricor for my hyperlipidemia. But that is a fenofibrate, not a statin. Have you ever tried the grandfather of statins, Lipitor? Talk to your doctor and get the straight answers.
Hi,
Although titanium is considered a biocompatible metal, around 4% of all patients tested will show a positive reaction to titanium. Studies show that titanium allergic patient will improve after removal of titanium-containing implants.
Like all metals, titanium releases particles through corrosion. These metals become ions in the body and bind to body proteins. For those who react, the body will try to attack this structure.
7cm) postrauma (fracture with hundimiento), some neurosurgeons recommented a titanium mesh to resolve the problem. Another group a bone graft. Its difficult for parents to choose one option without knowledge.What do you recommended?
is there any research out there connecting titanium plates/anchors to lymphoma or other cancers
It was discovered that I had DCIS after the routine pathology. I had a partial mastectomy and found that my surgeon placed titanium clips during the surgery. I wasn't happy about having metal in my body. After about a year I started menopause and about year and a half later I started having pains in my arms and carpal tunnel symptoms. It's got me wondering about the clips. Does anyone else had any similiar story?

I recently finished Radiation therapy and was trying to find a natural sunscreen instead of a regular chemical one. I discovered that many natural sunscreens contain Titanium Dioxide which is used to block the UVA/UVB rays from the sun. I also learned that most regular soaps contain Titanium Dioxide such as Dove etc. While doing radiation I was instructed to use Dove soap.
My Tryglecerides are reading 300 and my cholesterol is over 200, I'm on 145 mg of Tricor and my prescription went up from 20 mg. to 40 mgs of Crestor; I was wondering what the possible side effects of taking these two everyday are. If someone would please write me and let me know. I would truly appreciate it.
