Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 Hi K: Thanks for the good wishes. Jodi is on eight 1 mg tablets of Prograf a day, four at 7:00 am and four at 7:00 PM. She is also on 8 mg of Medrol which is the new dosage since the Hepatologist just decrease it when she saw him last Tuesday. He also took her off Prilosec and I think the only other one is Bactrim. She was just here earlier and we were going over piles of insurance papers and bills where they had sent some to the wrong insurance company. Lots and lots of fun. How are you doing? Hope everyone had a good week end. Take care and God bless, Genny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hi , I was diagnosed with AIH in January. I had a bowel resection done last year due to what they said was diverticulitis. Now I'm not so sure!!!! I had high liver enzymes then but no one looked into it to find out why. Last summer when I was still sick, and still had problems with my colon did they finally do some testing. (Finally went to another DR) I also have other autoimmune related stuff such as hashimotos. Anyway they put me on 30 mg of prednisone and 50 imuran. I'm now on 100 imuran and still trying to taper prednisone. I'm at 17 1/2 pred right now and everytime I get to 15 is when my enzymes go back up. I taper 2 1/2 every two weeks. They haven't tried a maintenance dose yet, I don't think my enzymes have stayed down long enough. K in Tahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 , My LFT's did the same thing. They finally kept me at 15 mg's for 6 months and then slowly began to taper and so far that's worked. Now at 2.5 mg's. I know how difficult the taper is. Hope things improve. Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Why don't you see how 7 day intervals work for awhile. You may be fine with that. The level may fluctuate somewhat but you may not notice any symptoms from it. If there is really a problem at day 6 or 7, I might consider bumping the dose upward a little assuming polycythemia isn't a problem. If I was going to double the number injections I take, I would want to know that I'm going to enjoy a significant benefit. When you first start treatment, you're highly motivated and you'll do anything. After your treatment has stabilized and you've been feeling normal while, you'll want a treatment that is not any more burdensome than necessary. Two shots per week would get old quickly for me. Brad k, I agree with Brad on this. I am older so I don't have the poop to go to it too often. One shot of T 80mg ever 7 days for me is enough and I don't get too low by the week's end either. It depends a lot on how you feel too, each of us are different. I finally got my E2 back in range and by the way Brad I had a bit of wood again this morning so I think my E2 is still in range. I have found the shots work best for me and keeps me feeling good too. Good luck, Blessings, Roy . __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi Ring the lab and ask? they might tell you to see your doc for an explanation, but that could be useful too... best wishes Bob > > In medical terms does anyone know what the letter K stands for? > e.g. No K. > > Luv > Chris > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi Bob Sused it, No K was noted with clinical observations notes rather than lab tests. K can be either knee jerk or potassium. Found this link to medical abbrevations on web might be useful for everyone: http://www.rcgp.org.uk/default.aspx?page=4134 Luv Chris > > > > In medical terms does anyone know what the letter K stands for? > > e.g. No K. > > > > Luv > > Chris > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
