Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I have completed 14 days of Questran and Actos. I thought some might be interested in my experience so far. Confounding variables: (Note: I have not been taking growth hormone for 6 weeks now to remove a variable from my situation.) I have stopped eating meat with antibiotics in it but only in the past week. Side effects: gassy feeling, have used Sorbitol a few days, but no major constipation problems. Have not needed Nexium at all, no reflux. Notable changes: Nothing obvious except the tendonitis around the knees has improved. The right knee is no longer painful. The left knee is 50% improved. FACT score improved one point on each eye, then at 14 days the left eye improved to a "negative" score while the right eye got one point worse - go figure. Weight loss of 2-3 lbs. Symptoms which persist at this time from 8 years of illness: neuropathy on left side of tongue, inability to do aerobic exercise. (This is currently worse due to inability to do any exercise with knee tendonitis) Sensitivity to mold in certain buildings with a sense of anxiety and increase in blood pressure from 110 to130/70 to 80 to 160/90 to 110 I do not seem to have infectious symptoms at this time, but this follows several years of antibiotics and 6 months of Zadaxin.
