Poor thing. Hopefully the chemist is open by now. For the skin I used Aloe Vera Bio Active Gel on my kids, as well as calamine. Cool baths helped. Piriton for the itch. Not sure about the mouth, but you could try ice pops. And lots of calpol/nurofen of course. Hope he's over the worst soon. Hang on in there.

Medicare pays for the transplant itself and most of the time the follow up visits but it does NOT pay for the transplant drugs (the ones that keep your body from rejecting the new organ).\n\nFor more detailed information go to www.cms.gov

ouch, lots of misinformation in these answers. \n\ndiet products are not harmful to the liver, and have not been proven to be harmful to human in any way (except those with phenylketonuria). the most common claim is that they cause cancer, which is false (see the link below). there is no way for them to "clog up" your body or urinary tract.\n\nyou are right to be concerned with taking tylenol or any product containing acetominophen (many cold remedies have it). tylenol can be fatal to anyone if they take too much, and the cause of death is liver failure. \n\nyou are definitely a special case, with multiple liver disorders AND allergies to other pain meds. you really need to call your gastroenterologist and ask them whta the maxiumum dose of tylenol you should have is. if the transplanted liver is functionally normally, you should be able to take it, although I can understand wanting to be extra careful with your gift.

Drug therapy is also used to treat aplastic anemia, and the two most common types of drugs used are immunosuppressive drugs and growth factors. Typically, one or more immunosuppressive drugs such as antilymphocyte globulin (ALG), antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine, are used to treat aplastic anemia patients. Although the connection is not well understood, one possible cause of aplastic anemia is an immune system that is working against itself. A common strategy with severe aplastic anemia patients is to administer ATG and cyclosporine until a stem cell transplant can be performed.\n\n\nBecause it can take up to four months for immunosuppressive drugs to work, some aplastic anemia patients also receive growth factors as an initial drug treatment. Growth factors are synthetic versions of substances normally found in the body that stimulate the marrow to produce blood cells. Common growth factors include Erythroprotein (EPO), G-CSF and GM-CSF. Another drug option is high-dose treatments with cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar).

lung transplant these days are very succesful but carries the risk of rejection nevertheless, and the possibility that the CF will reattack the new lungs and eventually make them like the original.   \n\nbut your question actually involves more than how long one is on "the list".  there are multiple transplant patients, well over a few hundred thousand, many of whom are at the top of the list.  there are only a few donors throughtout the country depending on a variety of issues as to whether or not they would make good donors for your nephew.  of course tissue matching and rejection possibilities play a big part in the selection, as does age, priority of illness, organ itself, staff availability, and a few other key issues.  survivability is another factor which is looked at and can sway the decision as to whether one patient or the other gets the organ.\n\nit can be overwhelming.  there are also many success stories where out of the blue you recieve a call because "bingo" everything matches your nephews need.  so dont despair, the odds are better than the lotto but in general can be hard to win.  \n\non a different note but relative to CF; there are many fine advances in the contol and treatment of CF.  gene therapy, dna alteration, and similar biotech approaches are also available and should be considered, they have their successes too.  \n\nlastly understand that CF is not a primary respiratory problem; it is secondary.  CF is a metabolic disease with respiratory involvement.  CF patients are prone to many recurring lung infections like pneumonia but not limited to pneumonia.\n\ngood luck.

Well, your better off taking the insulin for now because the surgeries are expensive as hell and time consuming. They have isilets of langerhan transplants and pancreas transplants, they have insulin pump transplants and insulin pump therapy. All but the insulin pump therapy requires you to take drugs 6 months in advance to shut down your immune system to ready yourself for a transplant and then you have a 60% chance of rejection if your lucky enough to get a pancreas to begin with so if your ready emotionally, physically, and finacially to go through with it good luck, like i said just get a bottle of insulin and some syringes and tough it out.

My father has had 5 open heart surgeries and was temporarily on the transplant list at Westchester Medical in NY. Once they determine you are a candidate - there is a very specific process and protocol that needs to be considered for you to first qualify for the list and second actually get on the list. The hospital itself wil provide you with ample info , along with a cardiologist(s) and most hospitals have a transplant "team" to help you through the process. At your age, unless you have congenitive failure - it is likely a pacemaker/defib can be placed to thwart off the transplant. Of course I am not a Dr, but my father has had 5 procedures, over the past 23 years and is not only a miracle to be alive - but has had the pacemaker/defin for 4 years now - and is no longer on the list, with just having his battery changed, same day procedure and everything going as best as it can for him. \nThey will walk you through every option available, including cost, coverage and availability. If you can - Emory is the best in Georgia for heart surgeries, transplants and pioneer some great solutions opposed to  transplants.\nGodspeed to you.

It's not that they work better together, it's just that you can't get a pancreas transplant without needing a kidney transplant as well.  The train of thought is that it is not worth all the antirejection meds and the surgery just to get off insulin shots, but it is if you are getting off insulin and dialysis.

I try to lay down with a cold compress on the forehead, keeping my eyes closed and noises to a minimum.  Imitrex always works for me....but taken as a last resort.  I have heard that Relpax is good too.  Feel better!

19 is so young, I'm so sorry.  Is there not anything the doctors can think of to do for her? Maybe a transplant? I'll say a prayer for her, that she stays comfortable, is at peace and if there is anything anyone can do to help her, may they find her and help.

I have never heard of a person being able to have more than one heart transplant. You are certainly a blessed man. Here are a few links to stories about people who received two organ transplants. I hope you find these stories helpful. Please try to speak with the doctor handling your case as he would be the best person to give you a prognosis.\n\nGood luck...\n\nhttp://www.sbhcs.com/services/renal/newsletter/issue_7/gift.html\n\nhttp://www.transplantweek.org/members/vol2/news/013605.htm\n\nhttp://www.aetnapharmacy.com/AP/ihtAP/r.WSIHW000/st.9339/t.32966.html
