View 8 RepliesUlcerative Colitis And Pregnancy - Medicine?
I am 25 yrs old and I was diagnosed with UC when I was 16. I am currently on 2000 mg Pentasa twice daily and 75 mg Imuran ( azathioprine) once daily. I haven't had a flare up in over a year. So all is good only now my partner and I would like to try for a baby.
I have discussed this with my consultant and she advised not to come off any medication as a flare up would be worse for the baby than the meds.
The only thing is, I have been looking into the effects of Imuran and it gives awful side effects including miscarriage and fetal deformities.
I am just looking to see if anyone has any info on what I should do. And if any women out there have taken this medication through pregnancy.

Eczema And Cupping - Chinese Medicine
I have for the past 2 years suffered from Eczema following an operation, I have attended the Dermatology Clinic tried various steroid creams also,Elidel cream, had a patch test, all unsuccessful. Three weeks ago by chance I went for a Chinese massage while staying with a friend in Haydock Merseyside, the doctor is in St Helens, however during my massage he asked about my Eczema, he suggested I had some cupping done not the one I had once before, he applied the glass cup and pulled it down my back, it was painfully, he suggested cream which I bought, I am three weeks free from Eczema as befor I didn't have one single day away from some part of my skin being itchy and breaking out and one place in particular used to blister and weep. I. Have been back to,have the cupping done again and purchased more cream, at the moment I don"t need to apply the cream as I am clear, I can't believe the relief I have, I had never had Eczema before even as a child

View 1 RepliesCan Medicine Interfere With Lupus Diagnoses?
I wonder if biopsy and blood are reliable when someone is already on medication.
my dermatologist is convinced I have lupus, but I am already on medication for rosacea (his Son also dermatologist treated me at first). I take tetracycline and have ivermectin and metronidazole creams. The dermatologist took blood for ana and something else. He also wants to do a skin biopsy but my skin is a lot better since I am on the medicine...except for the extreme redness on cheekbones, nose and chin. (I also have raynaud and some other problems)
Medicine For Yeast Infection And Balanitis?
I'm a 20 year old male. A little over a week ago, the top of my penis reddened, became painful to touch and swelled up. A few days later the pain dissipated and there isn't as much redness, however the swelling remained. After some research, I came to the conclusion that this was caused by balanitis. The following day, I noticed pinkish spots/rashes on the inside of my thighs. I did some more research and discovered that this was a yeast infection, particularly candida. I read that it's not unusual as both were caused by the yeast.
I'm going to purchase Canesten. I was just wondering if this would work for both the yeast infection and the balanitis? If so, how would I apply it to my penis? It's very swollen therefore very tight, and it physically pains me to retract - I can't even expose the head fully. Would it have to be applied to the penis itself, or will I find a solution if I were to apply it to the foreskin?

Menopause :: Duavee New Medicine For Hot Flashes
I had decided to go to my OBGYN to discuss options for handling my hot flashes. I also had other symptoms such as irritability, vaginal dryness, bloating.....etc...etc....insomnia....palpitations.....I had tried several natural remedies (black cohosh, maca root, Remifemin, soy, eliminated dairy), without success. I was also about to start a new job at our police department and didn't want the added stress of feeling like crap. I went to my doctor (who delivered my children and has been my OB for almost 30 years), and he gave me a prescription for a new drug called Duavee. Duavee is intended for women who still have a uterus, to reduce moderate to severe hot flashes and to help reduce the chances of developing osteoporosis. I have to say, it has helped me SIGNIFICANTLY since I started taking it two weeks ago. I feel so much better. I'm sure it has it's risks as do all medications, but I'm going to stick with it for awhile. I might attempt the natural route again at some point....but for now...I like feeling normal.
View 1 RepliesChinese Medicine Put My Chronic Urticaria In Remission!
I took 3 antihistamine pills a day for a year and a half and still had full body hives. My allergist told me to add Pepcid AC to the prescribed antihistamines. Out of desperation, I called a licensed acupuncturist. After 4 weeks of weekly acupuncture and drinking her tea blends, I am down to one claritin a day and only trace hives occasionally. I am working toward weaning off of the Claritin and then the tea completely. Probably follow up with occasional acupuncture and tea. As you can imagine I am elated and wishing to offer my fellow sufferers the suggestion of checking into Chinese Medicine. Best Wishes!

View 2 RepliesAlternative Medicine :: Symptoms Of Magnesium Deficiency
I've read a lot that mag is even more important than overloads of calcium, which can cause calcium deposits for just one issue....
Enough mag is needed for best calcium absorption. Then there is the Vit D deficiency......lots of deficiencies.
I don't know if any/many here are up on this mineral and how it could be related to fractures and all the hip issues many are challenged with.
I've been taking MORE mag than calcium for some years now, even though docs push calcium and don't even discuss mag....that's conventional medicine for you.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome :: Chinese Medicine Worked For Me
I am 33 and I used to be so energetic, liked to work out 4 to 5 days a week. But last year around February my life changed completely! After trying some over the counter probiotics for stomach issues like constipation my life went downhill. Ended up in the hospital 3 times for palpitations, could NOT sleep, diarrhea, shortness of breath, feeling my body freezing then super hot, feeling like I was going to pass out etc etc you named it! My doctor run ALL kinds of test and no answer. He only gave me antidepressants and high doses of sleeping pills. I cried every night because I knew I wasn't depressed but nobody knew how to help me out. Eventually 3 months passed not sure how I made it but started to feel better. Around October I started to feel so exhausted, light headed, low bp, sleepy and going to sleep at 8pm every night to feel a little better the next day, this was just no life and again here we go to my doctor and more test...and nothing! I am a true believer of Homeopathy/ Herbalist medicine so I decided to try Chinese medicine anyways I had nothing to lose anymore and to my experience the recovery has been AMAZING! It's been a month and I can say that I feel much much better. It is kind of hard to really find the help for CFS. (I never took the anti depressants). Please don't get discouraged seek help and always talk to your doctor before trying anything else. All I can say is that I found an amazing Chinese herbalist that is helping out feel better!
