High Risk Pregnancy - Diabetes Type 2 ? Insulin Requirements?
I have type 2 diabetes and I am pregnant. I need to know about pregnancy insulin requirements. Some of my friends tell me I need more insulin and other tell me I should stay the same. Is there anyone out that is pregnant or was pregnant that has/had diabetes type 2? I'm a little concerned about this and not sure what to do. My husbands tells me I'm a worry wart especially about my pregnancy but I don't think he realizes that being diabetic and and being pregnant is high-risk business.
View 1 RepliesAbortion :: Cytotec To Continue Abortion At 20 Weeks?
I just found out I was pregnant when I was 9 weeks and 1day along. I barely know the father of the child and unsure of everything. A lot of factors had made me decide to end the pregnancy. The search for cytotec ain't easy in our country . it took a very long time b4 i got the meds. it was October 2014 and I was already on my 3rd month when I took the meds. first attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal of 200mg. the following morning I had blood in my urine and a small blood clot came out. after 2days I went to the doctor to have some checkup and found put that my pregnancy still continued. Abortion is illegal in our country so I did not tell the doctor about it . 2nd attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal failed. 3rd attempt: 1 oral 1 vaginal still failed. then last attempt because I only got 10 pills in total: 2 oral and 2 vaginal this time also failed. but on the last attempt I was shivering. the interval in doing these procedures took days.
Still, my pregnancy did not end. And I could still feel it alive inside and moving.
Later when I was 4 months along already , we went to an abortionist that massages the stomach and abortion can occur. But I was far along the pregnancy that massaging it is no longer effective but it makes the fetus dizzy and if used with meds it can cause labor .
Took us long to buy cytotec again now only 4tabs . since its very expensive and we are short on cash sad to say. I also took other pills that are used also for abortion but in my case they are only mild and can cause dizziness with fetus.
then the procedure was 2 oral 2 vaginal. 800 mg in total..
Sadly, it still failed.
later, i knew that the cytotec i took was not strong enough . and there is this cytotec pill available in the market that is pink in color and is 500mg ..
I will be taking it 2 oral 2 vaginal . and I hope it will work now. because I made a wrong decision in doing abortion int he first place. and its too late to stop because im afraid the fetus may now have abnormalities. Now I need to continue this and I hope its gonna work.

I will have been taking Omprazole for a year a at the end of this December and although I realise that many people have been taking it longer, I wonder how long I will be taking this drug. Has anyone any thoughts on the operation that you can have to cure Hiatus Hernia, as this is what my Doc suspects I have. He has mentioned it as a thought for later, and although I am not keen on the idea of operations, I find it a sobering thought that I if I don't have the operation, will I be on this drug for life!?
View 1 RepliesMolluscum Contagiosum :: Can I Continue To Have Safe Sex?
I had 2 small (one is about 2mm the other about 1mm) pinkish bumps on my penis skin for several months (I guess more that 6 months). When magnifying, you can see some whitish matter inside the bump. Suspecting about MCV (molluscum contagiosum virus) I waited to see if they disappear and finally went to my derm. Without any hesitation, we was immediate in diagnosing MCV. He gave me a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH, 1 mL solution with 50 mg of KOH, to use it very parsimoniously as very irritating, 2x/day on the MCV).
I did not start yet and decided to read a bit before and check your experience:
I frequent saunas, gyms and had different sex partners but always had safe sex and very cautious and clean, yet ..
How can my derm be so sure and exclude more serious things as HPV?
IMPORTANT: how I can minimize the chances to spread it when starting with the KOH. DO I NEED TO ALWAYS COVER IT WITH A SMALL BAND-AID after appliance?
Can I continue to have safe sex (condom) with my partner?
Disc Prolapse :: L5 / S1 But Want To Continue Squash Playing
I have had low back pain with sciatica off and on for years . 3 months back I had an acutely painful episode which stopped me from going to work for 5 days. Subsequently a MRI showed disc prolapse L5/S1. I am 40 yrs old and am an active squash player. I went back to playing squash after taking a 6 week rest but my back seized up again. I am told I am not 'ripe enough ' for surgery .My dilemma is that if I don't keep active playing squash, a part of me would possibly die. I would like to hear from folks who have a prolapsed disc but continue to play squash.
View 1 RepliesOrthopedics :: Continue To Use RICE? Ice Actually Prolong The Healing
Recently one of my guys injured his knee in what we assess to be a strained MCL. I'm a combat medic, not a DPT, so I began to look into rehab/treatment plans. Naturally, the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) protocol was highly referenced. However, there is also a large group of health professionals that actually advise AGAINST using ice to combat swelling. They question the efficacy of interrupting the body's inflammatory response, and they also contend that ice increase permeability of the lymphatic system INTO the injured area instead of out. This is in sharp contrast to everything I've been taught about treating inflammation as a result of ortho trauma or joint damage. Is there any validity to the argument that Ice actually prolongs the healing process? Or should I continue to use RICE?
View 1 RepliesPCOS :: Continue Depo Provera And Periods To Avoid Cancer?
Since college and then 7 years afterwards, I was lacking a period. Then one day it came back. Wanting to know what happened, a gyno doc diagnosed me with PCOS. Also, the years without a period causes hyperplasia(crowded cells in the uterine lining, the form I had has a slight risk of cancer.) I was treated with provera pills to force a period for a while and the hyperplasia was reversed. I was also diagnosed with mild diabetes and I'm on metformin. When my doc found out I was sexually active and on metformin he encouraged me to be treated by depo provera. Also affecting things I take a drug called trileptal. Trileptal prevents most hormonal birth control from working and it is suggested depo to be given more often while on trileptal.
Anyway the problem is I'm started to get periods when I didn't before on depo and I'm acting all hormonal when I am not suppose to. It's so bad I'm getting breakthrough bipolar symptoms right before these periods. But my gyno says there is no way that is happening and my psych symptoms have nothing to do with the depo because hormone fluctuations are impossible on depo.
I want to go off depo, but my doctor is insistent that if I go off it my periods will stop again and I'll get hyperplasia again and get cancer. But there is no sign of my PCOS and I'm bleeding on depo, now that my pcos is treated why would my periods stop and the hyperplasia come back? I didn't take the depo and a main reason is I'm thinking about a child. Why would he push depo so heavily? Should I get the shot?
Pregnancy :: High TSH During 1st Trimester
Currently I'm 31 weeks pregnant.
I'm a hypothyroid patient since past 2 years and was on medication Thyroxine 50 mcg with regular GP.
However after I became pregnant and was tested for thyroid result were TSH 19 at week 7(thyroxin 100 mcg) and then TSH 12 at week 11 (thyroxine 125 mcg) adjusted by OB.
Thereafter I started referring to an endocrinologist who put me on thyronorm 150 mcg and my TSH was down to 2 at week 15. Subsequently monthly tests are showing normal range with regular follow-up and dosage adjustments.
From what I have been reading, I see that it should have been normalised in the first trimester itself as it affect's the baby's development. Can you please let me know if there's some tests that can be carried out asap (or new-born screenings) to know if baby has been negatively affected by this ? We want to ensure best possible care for baby once she is born so that it does not cause issues in later life.
