Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Actually, guys, I was put to sleep for my biopsy one year ago. I had the option of that or not. My doctor suggested I go to sleep, so I did and it was just fine. My suggestion is...ask your own doctor. Obviously they vary, but I'm glad mine did it the way he did. I didn't want to be awake and there was no reason for me to be alert during the procedure. He did all the work. I just laid there. in LA AIH 99' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 Hi na, welcome to the group. I have not had the mental confusion, even though my doctor did say it was possible that you could develop encephalitis if the hepatitis has gone untreated and advanced. Now, I do know the Prednisone can really make you feel confused. It's a horrible drug and can make you think and feel so many different things that you normally could not. If you think going to a neurologist would ease your mind, I'd go, but in my opinion it's probably just the stress and meds. Once again, guys that are talking about their liver biopsys, you can be put to sleep. My doctor told me that every patient should have that choice. It is much easier that way and there is not one reason you need to be alert or awake. I did have to lay on my side for several hours after the procedure, but that's all. So, you should ask your doc about being put to sleep. I recommend it. in LA AIH 99' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2001 Report Share Posted January 27, 2001 By the way na, where are you from? I have two friends named na and thought it was an unusual name. in LA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Hello , I am from Vermont, I have only met a few other na's, 2 more in VT and one in Wisconsen. Thanks for responding to my message, my family Doc also suspects it is just the Prednisone so I think I won't do too much about it until we lower the dose and see what happens.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2001 Report Share Posted January 29, 2001 Hi na... Welcome.. When I was first diagnosed with AIH the Gastrologist wanted just to give me a local ( numb the site ) and then do the biopsy.. I have Fibromyalgia also, so it hurt just to do the sonagram to locate my liver.. He tried to do it that but he couldn't..So my family physician had me go as a out-patient and had another Doctor do it.. This time they gave me a injection of something ( don't know what it was ) but it relaxed me so much that I went through the biopsy and had no problems.. It doesnt take that long at all.. I myself would recommend just being a little groggy.. Unfortunetly, I found out that I have Steado-Hepatis ( fatty-liver) and Cirrohsis of the Liver.. So I have to lose weight and keep a keep going to a Hepatologist every 3 months for a check-up... You will be in my prayers!!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 hi all! My question relates to ongoing studies with Xolair. I am having a lot of thyroid issues which my endocrinologist thinks 'may' be due to Xolair. I can't seem to find any info on how the studies are going except the initial one. Any ideas? thankyou, helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Hi Helen, I doubt that the ongoing long-term study will be published in any form before it is completed unless something dramatic turns up while the study is in progress. This would be why you're unable to find any info about the study. Would you mind sharing what thyroid issues you're dealing with and why your endo feels they may be due to Xolair?
