Question for Andy...

<< < (11/42) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
Emby,

Since deferiprone is excreted by the kidneys, fluid intake is even more important. In fact, fluid intake is essential to ensure that the drug is working to its potential, so keep the fluid intake up, and as long as there is no sign of infection, don't worry about more frequent urination, with the only exceptions being if there is the feeling that there is a need to urinate and little comes out.

Manal:
Dear Emby,

Is there any weight loss?? Please make sure to test his blood glucose level (fasten and after eating)

Emby:
Thank you Andy.....I probably need to do the same as I'm not in the habit of drinking throughout the day.

Manal...Alhumdolillah, his blood glucose is within normal ranges and he hasn't lost any weight [actually he has gained a bit and doesn't resemble a beanpole anymore so we are glad about that  :biggrin]

Manal:
Thanks Emby for your reply, since there is no infection and the glucose level is normal, i guess it is something minor or maybe the cold weather sometimes lead to this.

Wishing you all the best :wink

Emby:
Thank you Manal....lots of love to your children too..
