Monderate staph?
So my oldest DD was admitted Tuesday after her PFT's took a serious nose dive.  She went from mid 70% down to 45% in a month.  This was after she had been on an oral antibiotic.  After about 3 days of Tobramycin and Fortaz her PFT's went back up to mid 70's.  She is home now on IV's and goes back in week after next.  For the first time she managed to cough up not one but TWO green chunks for the clinic.  Both were tested and apparently the only thing that has grown was staph and they said it was moderate.  So my q...

OT: Worked OTC in a pharmacy, now I never want to be a pharmacist
Job itself is not bad. I would not mind being a pharmacist for a couple of months but doing this for YEARS? I work over the counter so my experience is limited but I see the pharmacists doing almost the exact same thing every single day and they can easily be confused with the technicians. Of course, I expected this but it was not until I experienced it that I began to realize how unfulfilling this must be. Pharmacy is more of a job than a career. The 9-5 mentality is strong and it shows with most of the pharmacists I worked with; none of them actually want to be there. I used to only think about how I would be helpin...

RA Factor in lung disease??
My pulmo ordered some blood work a few weeks ago and I just got the results in the mail. There was a category for an anti-neutrophil test and it had a few things under it, one being RA factor. Most everything was normal but the RA was 4 which apparantly is positive. When I researched what this was testing for all the information was about rheumatoid arthritis and I dont understand how this links to lung disease. It seems that this is a really low RA value but is this significant in any way to my health? Just curious what it meant<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"&g...

Suspected CF-looking for information
My 16 year old daughter has just been referred for CF testing.  Long story shorter, she had what we thought was an abscessed tooth back in March 2011, through further discovery it was a cyst in her jaw.  During the diagnosis of the cyst the CT scan reviled that her frontal sinuses  were 90% blocked as well as one in her forehead region that I can't remember the name of.  We went to the ENT and he put her on antibiotics, decongestant and nasal spray for a month.  They did another CT this past Monday and while the nasal blockage was reduced to about 40-50% t...

including rheumatology
Does anyone include rheumatology in their practice, specifically injections. It seems to take quite a bit of skill. I did a rotation and very much enjoyed it (was able to ease a lot of pain) but I would blow my brains out if this is all I did every day, please take no offense just my feelings. (this is why I picked family med over Internal med). Guess my question is can I keep this skill set on the back burner and feel competent to pull it out when I need it, or could I even have a subset patient base? Do you all just refer it off? Oh, and did you just do electives in Rheum or would a sports medicine fellowship be somethi...

Those darn new Pancreaze bottles
I know some of you have switched over from Pancrease MT whatever to the new Pancreaze in what ever dosage of Lipase you need. Some have commented on the package change from the nice lightweight plastic bottle to the heavier glass bottle that comes in yet another package, a box. But has anyone had any difficulties with the stupid child-proof cap on these new bottles? I am neither a child, a person with arthritis, or a senior citizen and I have had quite a few of these bottles difficult to open. It's getting ridiculous, when I have to give it to my husband to open and he gives me, after his first failed attempt to open t...

Problems with Levaquin
Originally posted by: Deb Has anyone ever had problems taking Levaquin? I have taken it several times over the years and the only side effect that was bothersome was insomnia. However, I just finished a 14 day dose and every joint in my body aches. It started in my shoulders and I dismissed it as pain from exercising. Then it was my elbows and then my hips. Since my mother has rheumatoid arthritis I started thinking perhaps I was developing it as well. Today I could barely get out of bed due to the pain in my joints--my whole body. Upon doing some research I discovered that this can be caused by the Levaquin. And even wor...
