Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hi Galina, As Karin mentiooned, the understanding of abbreviations is critical in trying to come up with a total amount for this type of directions. Chances are you will see one of these on either national exam being offered. Simply add up daily incremental totals then add those totals up for your final answer: Note we are using 5 mg Tablets 30 mg qd x 3 days would be (6 tabs per day for three days) 18 tabs 20 mg qd x 2 days would be (4 tabs per day for 3 days) 12 tabs 10 mg qd x 3 days would be (2 tabs per day for 3 days) 6 tabs 5 mg qd x 10 days would be ( 1 tab per day for 10 days) 10 tabs Total: 18 tabs + 12 tabs + 6 tabs + 10 tabs = 46 tabs Hope this helps Joe Medina, CPhT ----------- How many tablets should be dispensed to fill the following prescription? Prednisone 5mg tabs 30mg qD x 3d, then 20mg qD x 3d, then 10mg qD x 3d, then 5mg qD x 10d, then stop The correct answer is " 46 " . 12 19 39 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 ok you need to find out how many tablets to take for each dose. for example 30mg/5mg tablets =6 tablets, then find out how many for that dose total. for example 6x3=18 then add all those totals together.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Fann, From reading seems like you been at it just in your environment, the showers and baths may extract them from you internally. But I think you need to keep your skin with a repelling oil, as we all know they don't like scents tea tree I've had a lot of help with and eucalyptus. Fann, maybe try adding an essential oil to your olive oil. Try it for a week, don't be discouraged so fast. Believe me there's no such thing as a one shot kill for these lil bugs, I wish there was. Keep skin hydrated and clean but I can't stress enough on using a repellant in it.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 , I am sorry you are dealing with this. My daughter is will be 25 at the end of the month and she also has Stills and is planning to graduate from UT in May 2009. So I understand the struggle. There are a number of medication that your your rheumotologist will probably true. The problem is that most of them including plaquenil take some time. My daughter got sick last summer and had symptoms like the ones you described fro several months. After that initial onset the fevers and rash and swollen glands became better and ultimately went away after taking plaquenil and celebrex. She still had joint pain and swelling but that continued to improve as the year went on. She had another flair of her condition this summer and that was when we finally got the diagnosis of Stills. She is trying some new medications. All this to be said - make sure you have a good rheumotologist that understands Stills and as everyone has told us be patient as it can take some time to stablize. You will find a great deal of comfort in talking to others in this group and realize that many have gotten much better and have gone in to remission. I would encourage you to take very good care of yourself and get plenty of rest. God Bless. Lea Subject: (unknown) To: Stillsdisease Date: Sunday, October 5, 2008, 7:46 PM Hello all - I am , I am a 25-year-old clinical microbiology student. I live in Nassau Bay, Texas with my (very new) husband/partner for the last six years, M. We share my seven-year-old prodigious daughter, " Bird " . I was recently diagnosed with Still's after a massive 'flare' that lasted from July until September of this year. It started with the rash, then 104 fevers, and finally completely debilitating joint pain. The rheumatologist could not decide on what it was until I spoke with a family friend who happens to be a retired neurologist, and he said Still's immediately after I presented my symptoms. I had never heard of it. I told my rheum, and she decided to do an abdominal ultrasound to confirm. As it turns out, the margins of my spleen are about 16 cm, which is just about insane, especially for someone of my petite stature. She said that this, in combination with the rest of the clinical picture, cemented Still's, and so, here I am. Pharm therapy has rid me of the febrile & urticarial symptoms, however, the joint pain is incredibly persistent, tho not nearly as ridiculous as it once was. Also, every time we try to taper off the Prednisone and hope the Plaquenil will take up the slack, the fever & rash return (this is my fourth attempt at tapering). This part really sucks cos I am set to graduate (finally!) in May 2009, and immune-suppression REALLY does not mix well with micro. Is there some other option?? I am very happy to have found the group - nobody I know has ever heard of Still's, and it's getting kinda lonely out here... -- A free race cannot be born of slave mothers. - Margaret Sanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Welcome ... I developed and was diagnosed with Still's Disease this past July as well. Don't be surprised at not hearing about Still's before... my family doctor hadn't heard of it. Thankfully I'm under the care of a great rheumy. We're both lucky that we were diagnosed so quickly... some people in this group were years (even decades) trying to get a name for what was wrong. I'm being weened off the prednisone as well, and so far my only problem is increased joint pain for a few days each time we drop it a bit. Once I had the sore throat return and was a bit feverish as well, but the rash held off, at least. My rheumy drops me 10mg at a time, which works for me, but he said we may have to go slower at lower levels... maybe you could talk to your doctor about slower decreases? I'm not on plaquenil myself, but I seem to remember someone in the group saying that they were told it takes a while to kick in. Let's hope it kicks in before your big graduation! (Gratz, by the way!) I really felt alone as well until I found this group. While I wouldn't wish this on anyone, it was nice to know others understood what I was going through. That, I think, is one of the most upsetting things about it all... people just not understanding what it is you have or are going through. I hope you have people who will support you.

That was over 8 years ago now. in that time I had a bad run of things and my life changed in many ways some from stills and most from living with stills and people that did not and would not understand it or live with it and me any more . I also got to enjoy a remission in that time for a few years and to day have a great life a new wife that is awesome and well yes I am also no longer in remission at all. I have never had the major joint problems that may have in that way I feel lucky but I have enjoyed frustrating my doctors with my fibermialga problems from stills and my organs fun. I do know once i stopped trying to have a remission and looking for a cure I started to learn to live with stills and my life became better slowly yes but over time it also got better in many way then it was pre stills also crazy as that sounds but it did so welcome and hang on it is a wild ride but doable if your holding on tight enough hugs the rednecks Marty & G. the redneck's my space http://www.myspace.com/martyg58 Stills ; An illness I know to well!

If the liquid smells and tastes o.k. it will probably be.... says I, who'd go ahead and drink it. Everyone has to take their own risks. IMO, there would be nothing to worry about, as the actual mold carrying scoby has been removed. There are many people on this list who would give the advice: If in doubt, throw it out.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Sue, After reading your posts and speaking to the doctor...when he does the implant he puts in permanent wires so when the second part of the surgery as they say is the easy part...its just the incision for the battery.....do you all have your battery in your hip or stomache? If you had to hold the programmer up to the generator if it is In my hip there is no way in h-ll that I will be able to do it myself.......

I agree with Kim, you need answers, but the most important thing right now is to make sure you don't have an infection. Did your pain mangement doctor or a surgeon do the trial? Everything should have been explained to you before the trial. It's your right to know why he/she had to make such a large incision. The incision for my implant is only l and a half to 2 inches long. If a doctor does not answer my questions, or have my best interest at heart, I change doctors. I have done this several times in the past year and half.

Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Margee It's normal to be nervous, but you now have a place to vent this feeling. I was injured in l999. It took me 4 years to find a doctor to diagnosis me with the RSD. During that time, I went from doctor to doctor to doctor trying to find an answer as to why I wasn't getting any better, only worse. I had 2 shoulder surgeries, trigger point injections, acupuncture, massage therapy, physical therapy and I was still in the most horrific pain, No one could give me an answer, some were telling me there wasn't anything wrong, it was is my head. Thank God, I found the pain doctor that I use now. She started with the nerve block injections. They helped, but only for a while. Some lasted alot longer than others. She knew I needed the spinal cord stimulator, but you have to go through the process of having the nerve block injections first. It was frustrating and annoying, but there's nothing that can be can about it. Hopefully you get some relief from the injections. You want to explore every possibily before you have more surgery.

My life changed after an auto accident, I ended up having an Anterior Discectomy with Fusion of C-4 through C-7. My pain increased about 7 months afterwards. We knew going in with the spinal surgery that later down the road there's a good chance of more surgery. Right now they are trying to avoid doing more surgery this soon. I already had other health problems so this added to them. I guess on the 15th, I'll find out how my Medial Branch Block for Facet Joints, really nervous about it. This is Step One for me. > > Margee > > I have 2 spinal cord stimulators and a pain pump. I have RSD, disc problems in my neck, and back, slight case of spinal stensosis, arthriths. I was recently diagnosed with hypopituitarism and hypothyroidism. I know how terrified and confused you are. I've been there and back. Living in chronic pain, effects everything in our lives. I tried everything there was to alleviate my pain before having the implants. Nothing worked. > The SCSs and pain pump have made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life. They are not a cure all, but they certainly reduce the amount of pain you have and increase your mobility. The lumbar SCS kept me out of a wheelchair and kept me from having to have a lumbar spinal fusion surgery. The cervical SCS gave me back the mobility in my right arm. The beauty of this group is that everyone here is going through the same thing. We can all share our experiences and exchange our information. You're in a place with experts in the field of SCS!! > If you have any questions or would like any other information, please feel free to contact me. > > Sue C > Moderator > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
