We have attached these documents for your informational uses only. Although our initial results have been promising, use of Valganciclovir for this indication has not been approved by the FDA and we cannot recommend using the drug outside clinical trials.
In addition, due to the large volume of patient requests we cannot and will not offer unsolicited medical advice to individual patients at this time.
Has anyone tried Valganciclovir? Dr. Jose Montoya says a5 year treatment can help patients with CFS brought on by EBV.
Also oral Valcyte/valganciclovir has been shown to be effective in treating mild to moderate cases of CMV disease in transplant recipients. Reduction in the degree of immunosuppression should complement the antiviral treatment of CMV disease.
Best of luck to your mom!
My husband was diagnosed with a condition called neurogenic cough. It has been described as a chronic cough where the nerve that provides sensation to the voicebox and is responsible for triggering the cough reflex has been injured, usually by a virus. When this happens, the nerve's level of sensitivity before it triggers the cough reflex becomes markedly reduced; in other words, it becomes hyper-sensitive.

I saw this quote today in an article about a doctor speaking at a pediatric infectious disease conference. The article is at

Forgive me for adding this second part to the question but --- Could the fact that I didn't experience classic hyperthyroid symptoms after severe over-dosing by my GP on Armour, indicate Peripheral Thyroid Hormone Resistance (myopathy being lack of thyroid hormone in my tissues)?
My neurologist (not the Dr. who is dosing my thyroid) is looking into all possibilities, including referring me to muscle specialist or a thyroid one, etc...
TORADOLORAL (ketorolac tromethamine), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is indicated for the short-term (up to 5 days in adults), management of moderately severe acute pain that requires analgesia at the opioid level and only as continuation treatment following IV or IM dosing of ketorolac tromethamine, if necessary. The total combined duration of use of TORADOLORAL and ketorolac tromethamine should not exceed 5 days.
His pupils seem to dilate normally and equally. He seems to close his left eye more easily than his right; as he is dosing the right eye is sometimes very slightly open when the left is fully closed. He can close the right eye fully, however, and does seem to blink normally (both eyyes going from open to closed to open again in unison).
Is this a potential problem, or is this just a case of his head not being completely symetrical, as is the case with most folks?
First 'two' riba? I looked back at a prior post. You said hubby was Geno 3 and weighed 195 lbs. Standard dosing of riba (a flat 800 mg per day) is not as effective as weight-based (in hubby's case about 1200 mg per day). You should talk with the doc one more time. Hubby need to take the best shot at getting rid of this the first time. Good luck.
I was diagnosed with secondary autoimmune adrenal insufficiency in December. I feel lousy most of the time, have chronic abdominal pain and abnormal stools, and feel best flat on my back...which doesn't work well for someone who works 12 hour shifts in a busy ER while selling one house, building another, and has 2 teens and a disabled husband, lol. Here's my question. If a person has say diabetes, their meds are based on their blood sugars.
If you are on triple therapy for genotype 1 and undetectable then your doc is following AASLD protocol for anemia management
Anemia developed among recipients of both PIs. Hemoglobin decreases below 10 g/dL (grade 2 toxicity) occurred in 49% of patients who received a BOC regimen compared to 29% of those who received the SOC
regimen, whereas 9% had a hemoglobin decline of <8.5 g/dL (grade 3 toxicity).
ve been found to have extremely low cortisol and have been following the dosing chart on *************************. Basically every 3 or 4 days you increase by 2.5mg if you haven't seen it.
Initially I was feeling slightly better on one dose of 2.5mg each morning then a day or two after being on two doses of 2.5mg I started to feel very spaced out, dizzy, exhausted and confused.
I read somewhere that ideally you should raise your dose every 2 weeks or so.
Would you agree with this?
we are asking for recommendations for pediatric nuerosurgeons we live in louisiana but will travel where ever is necessary ....
s Disease the methimazole will not cure her disease, it needs a permanent treatment ultimately, she has been on treatment for several years, there are significant side effects rare but important with the methimazole, these meds can cause problems with our white cell count and blood count, there is a true method to treating this problem and data to support things, you should talk with your doc and decide about surgery or radioablation, at age 16 the ablation is often suggested, she is pubertal an
