Hi All,

Thought I would check in and tell of my experience with Sandostatin.

Perhaps my experience can help someone else.

I have been NPO since October 2004. I have Idiopathic CP and SOD.

Started on Sandostatin about 10 days ago. 3 subq's daily 200 mcg each

dose. Depot form may be possible after trialing the 3/daily dose.

For the first 2 days, I felt terrible--headache, nausea, achey. Used

Demerol to go me over the hump. I haven't had any real pain to speak

up since using the drug. Still have problems with overwhelming

nausea, but use Zofran to help with it. Headaches are still a problem

but they are mild and are probably related to hypoglycemia.

So, what would I say so far about this treatment. I actually think I

have a lot more energy. Pain is minimal.

I am hoping it works.
