I am really thinking that trilipix raises blood sugar levels....I have never had a sugar level problem, than my primary care doc put me on trilipix. I took it for six months ... went in for my routine blood work and he says my sugar was up and I was now had pre diabetes with my a1c test being 6.1 The only change I have made Is the Trilipix...I don't think it is a coincedence! I quit taking it...not just because of that but I was also having terrible muscle spasms....
I have been on Lisinopril (bp) for 5 years and Trilipix and Simvastatin (cholesterol) for the last 3-4 years.
My insurance company approved me for the occipital nerve stimulator!! yay!!!! I meet with the rep tomorrow to learn how to use it. I'm scheduled for surgery for the trial on Feb. 23rd!! I have so much to do by them because they said I need to see my primary for a physical as well as have some labs done. So a lot to organize!!
Plus the last I talked to them they didn't want me going to class or work the week I had the trial...
I got the call from the doc's office yesterday. Medicaid has approved my 12 week course of Sovaldi/Ribavirin. I start next week as soon as the meds arrive. I have to be extra careful not to drop one of those $1000 pills in the toilet......
Here are the meds I am own - Questran - 1 packet for irritable bowl, Prozac for OCD, Allergy Injections, Methyldopa for blood pressure, and Trilipix for Triglycerides (nearly 1000), and Vitamin D. I am only 30!! I am overwieght but work hard to get rid of it with little or no results. They even checked me for Cushings. My TSH is low at 0.3 and I have a Goiter but no known thyroid problem. I have acne. Anyone know what could be causing my heartburn to be so severe?
I am guessing if it gets approved(maybe 3 or 4 weeks?) that I will start maybe around the end of Jan or the beginning of Feb.
twice a day, Amlodipine Bensylate 5mg. once a day, Trilipix 135mg. once a day and Ibuprofen 600mg. when needed. Pravastatin Sodium 40mg. once a day and Alprazolam 1mg. twice a day. I have been to my doctor and have told him about it and he just says, its anxiety. Does anyone know what might be causing this ?? I am tired of hearing that it is anxiety ! Please help !!!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to let everyone know my insurance company approved the 3 meds (Incivek, peg and riba). They have approved the incivek for the first 4 weeks. At that time if my blood results are where they need to be, they will approve the next 4 weeks and so on. If I do not respond the peg and riba has been approved for the course of the tx. Positive thoughts here, praying to be undetected so I can keep using the new meds. I am very excited to say the least.
Does any one know if I can get approved for income based apartments if I receive ssi payments each month and child support but I'm on besrest and can't work..
I would like to find a forum for people whose drs have prescribed treatments that are NOT FDA approved. I have been prescribed a med that is approved for some cancers, but not the application for which I am using it. Because its not approved for this application, there is not much information out there about clinical trials, and their results. But somewhere out there, there is a study that led my dr to try this treatment. I would like to see the results of that study.
Well if all goes well it looks like my hubby and me have finally found a place to rent! We have been living with my parents up til this point. We have been approved, just waiting on the owners lawyer to draw up the lease agreement for us to sign. We found it via Craigslist, so I've been reluctant to get too excited. But today we found out we are approved and just waiting on the paperwork.
It's not legal for health insurance to deny an FDA approved treatment when prescribed by a physician.
Do you think this isn't the case?
