Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 This doc is foreign speaking and I am getting tired! This patient has multiple medical problems including diabetes, narcolepsy, obesity, hypothyroidism, hypertension, sleep apnea and seizures. Hopefully you can help out a bit on the following.... ....We had given him some Lasix to get rid of the edema for a couple of days, it did get better. He had a CT scan which showed some S/L pleura plaques from S/L extosis , but no tumor. ....he still does have the narcolepsy and S/L Ketokalexy, sometimes he just falls down. He is on various medications including Sinthroid, Ritilin, Lupron, S/L Lipid-light, Ritifol, Refinol, Dilantin, and Flonase, the S/L evendol was discontinued because of the edema. I think I am way off on the drugs, I can't seem to document most of them as you all can probably see!! Thanks for your help in advance.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2002 Report Share Posted November 20, 2002 On your drugs, I know Synthroid is spelled with a " y " . The next is Ritalin. I know that's not much help. Those foreign speaking doctors are exceptionally hard to understand! Good luck! Carol in NC More word help please.... This doc is foreign speaking and I am getting tired!
