Guest guest Posted May 24, 2002 Report Share Posted May 24, 2002 Hi Doris. My son has been on Lamisol for 4 weeks now. We switched him from Diflucan to this. WOW. What a big difference. He used to have eczema really bad, even with Difucan, on the back of his arms and on his cheeks. Now the eczema is almost completely gone and he has been making even better progress since this change. We had a dye-off (I think). For almost 3 weeks. It was hard, but well worth it. Let me know if I can be anymore help to ya.E-mail me if you want. I'll be gone for the holiday week-end but back on Monday. :0) Diane B.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2002 Report Share Posted June 18, 2002 Hi Doris, From an old post, you mentioned Dr. G changed your son from Diflucan to Lamisil. We have also just done the same thing. How is it going with your son? Others mentioned their kids had exzema and foot fungus, but my son doesn't have anything like that, did yours? Did you ever get your insurance to pay for it? We have BC/BS of IL, who have refused to pay. It's quite expensive, so I hope it is worth it. What kind of response is your son having. Thank you for any info. KathyP lamisol hello! I have a few questions 1- who out there is using lamisol ? 2- Anything I need to know that the pkg insert doesn't mention ? 3- has anyone gotten their health insurance carrier to pay for it ? esp BCBS ? Dr G wants to switch from diflucan to lamisol. It's $170 for a month's dosage. BCBS refuses to pay - they say monthly blood cultures need to be done in order to prove there is yeast before a prescription will be accepted. Now is already getting blood taken every month to monitor the diflucan and etal. But this obviously isn't enough for BCBS. 's Ped and allergist both have agreed to write letters supporting the use of lamisol. Thank you! doris land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Lamisol contains lactose ... as does Nizoral Diflucan does not. Now, with that done and said, is highly sensitive to casein. He has always done better on diflucan than on the other two. But he's never adversely reacted to Lamisol or Nizoral as he usually does with anything containing casein .... on the subject of music, takes music lessons. we thought it might help his auditory sensitivity. His current choice is 'Jesus music'. He went through Aerosmith 'Big Ones' for quite a while .... then Mozart ... then country. Now it's the local religious station ... doris land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
