Experiences with

Elavil

April 2014 “The serious facts about funny turns”. So ran the headline in one of this week’s free newspapers – the Metro. In many ways it highlights some of the problems faced by Hughes syndrome patients – April’s ‘patient of the month’, for example. This year our efforts at improving awareness of

Elavil: visual blurring, mouth dryness, difficulty starting urination, drowsiness, dizziness, weight gain, lethargy, paradoxical anxiety, and maybe forgetfulness." From Doctor Brian Le "Neurontin is not an anti-inflammatory medication.

less chance of getting side effect from Elavil with this low dose?

I'm currently on neronton at 2400 mg per day and 50 mg if Elavil for insomnia. My sleep is still rotten, between the neronton and ibuprofen....I'm popping pills all day. Will i now become addicted to these " non narcotic" pills ?? I need advice... I'm at my end.!

I would like to share something that has happened recently, I have had 2 stents placed just 18 months ago my cardiologist put me on plavix 75 aspirin 100 clodipril, he has had me on this for the 18 months about 4 weeks ago i started getting red blotchy itchy skin very much like hives, I looked up the

February 2014 This time, a real record – the wettest winter ever recorded here in the southern part of Britain! Terrible flood scenes. In this month’s blog I propose to deal (or to start to deal) with ‘treatment’ – still a major issue for all of us – patients and doctors, living with Hughes syndrome

After diagnosis with APLS I was put on Plavix. I felt a lot better for a number of years and my very bad headaches went. Now I have the headaches back and i am permanently tired with headaches most of the time. I do not feel I can go on working any longer. Does anyone else have a similar experience?

I was diagnosed with primary aps on 2009. At first I was on aspirin (75mg.) for may years. Last year Cardiolipins went up to levels of 0.70 and 0.08. Plavix (75 mg.) was added to aspirin. Levels went down to 0.55 and 0.068 but still well beyond normal. I haven't had any thrombosis up to now and the doctor

Hi everyone, I am starting fragmin tomorrow, I'm nervous about injecting myself but excited that this could give me my life back. I have been on plavix for the last month and have had an improvement in my headaches but thats all. I still can't really use my brain, take things in, remember things,

I have just read that GP's are taking people off warfarin if they have not had a stroke, PE or DVT. It seems Kate has corroborated this. I am seronegative diagnosed by the Professor himself on livido, miscarriage and all normal symptoms. Have positive lupus/ Sjogrens too. I am really scared I think I

At long last there is a sense of spring in the air. Earlier this April, it was so cold that even our Schnauzer puppy, Lucy, didn’t want to step outside! This month saw the latest in the bi-annual international lupus conferences. This year’s meeting, run by a team of South American doctors, was held

i have low blood pressure average about 110 to 115 over 60 to 70. and my consultant has put me on candesartan 2mg. but it's making it much lower under 100. iwas on ramipril before and told him this but he said this should be ok. all this after angiogram last week. all was ok with my stents over a year

My DS has seen the Prof and has weak positive test. Severe almost daily Migraine and extreme fatigue the biggest concern. The Prof wants a 2 week trial of heparin as plavix has not helped. GP does not understand APS and as the prof has not written that he is sure it is APS then GP is worried. Says have

Anyone taking this for APS? alongside Aspirin. Prescribed today by my Rhuematologist to try to combat my severe cluster headaches/migraines. Would appreciate feedback on experiences with it. Thank you. x

Pre stent, I felt physically well even though my LAD was 90% blocked. I have had several 24 hour and 2x3 day cardiac monitors and heart apparently fine. Ejection fraction 65%, so few problems there. I also developed stomach/bowel problems post op. and this seems to be associated with the presyncopes.

I am male, 69, & am now trying Multaq, knowing it is not the equal of Ami., but hoping the Myopathy may not deteriorate further now I am off the Amiodarone.

Does anyone take Plavix instead of Coumadin/Warfarin or LMWH? Have you had any issues with it?

I had a stroke in 2006 at the age of 44. this is how I became aware that I had hughes syndrome. After my diagnosis I was put on Coumadin. I began having seizures caused my brain damage from my stroke. So my Hymatologist took me off Coumadin due to the risk of head injury and put me on plavax. I'm concerned
