Hey Fermina

Or a side effect of a medication called Topamax. You have plenty of free time. Go Google it. I imagine that's how you discovered your vast knowledge of cancer.

That doesn't really account for 800,000 afflictions per year of those not taking it, now does it. :)
 
Well, whatever it is, get well soon.

I'm curious, isn't a stent put in permanently? and it's done in an angiography not surgery?

What kind of stent is that?

Stents for kidneys etc can be temporary, not sure bout heart ones but I'd imagine they can be temp

The stupidity and inability of some to do reading/research is just mind boggling.

EF, a stent can be placed in other parts of the body than a heart. Yes, kidney stents (ureteral stents) are temporary - typically left in place only for a couple days after a procedure to help with the healing process since inflammation can occur after a surgery causing blockage of urine from they kidneys to the bladder.

Topamax is a drug used to treat epilepsy and migraines. It causes systemic metabolic acidosis which causes excessive acidity in the blood and increased urinary pH which means increased chance for kidney stones.

The more you know.....

Go start a poll or thread on it - you seem to have ample time but obviously can't be bothered to do any informed research.
 
Some of my consultants have to ask why things out side their speciality have beennprescribed and how I find them etc etc. I am surprised people on internet fora with little knowledge of a person feel better equipped than these drs to make snippy queries or accusations.



I have "snippy queries and accusations" on my business card. It's the "have gun will travel" of the digital age.

I do tend to do that don't i.

Stent's primarily are indeed heart ones. And, because Burt.

Hey glad it isn't that.

Among other seemingly possible things.
 
Is it just me or did it get weird up in here

Is it odd? I am sitting in front of my computer. I have a choice of being nice, maybe just don't reply or maybe I decide to be "KING OF ALL DOUCHEBAGERY". Yeppers. We all respect you now.

Good grief loser.
 
I know I am not alone. I saw my stalker the other day. Good times.

Care to share a source on "primarily" or are you pulling this out of your ass as always? Is Bert/Ken your source? You know they can put a stent in your brain too? I'm wondering if Dr. Seuss wrote a book about stents....Oh, The Places You Will Go.

Any other treatment is considered "off label." Most "off label" treatments are not FDA approved. The intended purpose of Topamax is the treatment of epilepsy and/or migraines.

By all means though, keep talking out your ass. It's fun watching you playing armchair doctor instead of armchair lawyer for once. And while I can't school you in medicine in general like I can law, this particular medical subject I think I can hold my on own.

I don't even have to fake it like some people. ;)

But you know me. I'm always talking out of my ass. How else can i get you to come talk to me?

It's your fault.

Ha! It's just funny this is all being brought up again since I had to find a new neurologist and we just met last week and had to go over all the contraindications of Topamax again.
