- As you know, the H3N2 flu has been going around the United States, and I was wondering what we should know if we contract it.For instance, is it OK for us to take oseltamivir (Tamiflu)? I've heard that peramavir can worsen MG:...
- I was at an ENT clinic today and had the doctor look at my ears because I think they had fluid in them. He promptly picked up a bottle of ear drops and put them in my ear, explaining that they were an antibiotic. I didn't think much of it...
- Someone at work was diagnosed with the flu. I don't have totally close contact with him, but he's on my team and sits a few cubicles away. Does anyone have any advice as far as looking for signs, when to see the doctor, or can even just calm me...
- Hi there, some people might remember me from a while ago. I'm finally off of prednisone! The highest dose was 50mg about two years ago and I've been tapering down gradually, obviously. My last dose was 2.5mg every other day for about two and a...
- Hello - I'm having oral surgery for a tooth implant tomorrow and the office told me that they typically prescribe Norco for the pain. I hope to not need it, and my (really good) neurologist said that it should be OK on it, but as you know sometimes...
- I live in a big, old apartment tower, on a floor that sits above the crawlspace where all the plumbing goes. As a result, in the fall, some bugs that were living in the crawlspace try to find a new place to live when it gets cold and I see them...
- I'm scheduled for a dental implant next week, and I had listed my sleep apnea in my medical history. The oral surgeon said my PAP shouldn't be a problem because most people have a pressure of 5. I told him I actually had BIPAP of 16/10! He still...
- I'm scheduled to get one next week. I have a pretty reputable dentist and oral surgeon and I guess they're OK with it, but I'm somewhat concerned about being immunosuppressed while trying to heal. Oh, and did I mention I'm diabetic and on CPAP? I...
- For about two weeks, my pharmacist hasn't been able to get any azathioprine (generic for Imuran) from any of the wholesalers, and it looks like the Walgreens in my area don't have it either. I was able to get some from another pharmacy, but I see...
- I've been prescribed some .125% nitro glycerin ointment for a fissure, and the doctor was a little concerned about it's interaction with MG because it's supposed to relax the muscles in the area where it's applied but is also usually absorbed...
- I've always had a little bit of edema in my ankles, but nothing spectacular. It ramped up quite a bit lately though. I've had my veins checked, and my kidney function is good, so the usual suspects have been somewhat ruled out, and my doctors just...
- Hey all. I had an abscess in my leg that I got drained today. I may also have cellulitis, but this is hard to tell because I get red patches on my leg due to edema from (you guessed it) prednisone!I was on a course of cephalexin for ten days, and...
- I'm quite nervous about it. I look on the list of drugs to use with caution and there are a huge list of -caines, so I'm wondering if there's anything they can really give me at all for local anasthetic that isn't somewhat dangerous. Does anyone...
- Sorry about the weird title - it's hard to get an idea across in the short space they allow!I'm wondering if any of you who have diplopia or ptosis were ever told that you should try to keep your weaker eye open as much as possible, or something...
- Hello - allow me to introduce myself. I've been on Daily Strength for about a year in the myasthenia gravis support group. I have a very mild case of myasthenia gravis which only affects my eyes so far. Because I've had it for a year without...
