Trilostane Day 1

5/16/2017

0 Comments

 
Today is my first day to take Trilostane to help reduce the side effects from Cushing's disease.It's a scary drug. Supposedly, it helps a lot of patients if they live beyond the first couple weeks. It comes with a warning that it is toxic to humans and to use gloves to handle it or wash hands afterwards. Sounds delicious AND nutritious, right? Coincidentally, I am taking a steroid for my eye. Too much steroid in my body but not enough in my eye? Aye, I suppose.
Picture
For those who don't know Cushing's side effects, here are some of mine
  • Excessive thirst
  • Panting
  • Hungry - more like famished
  • Pot belly - I'm just big boned!
  • High blood pressure - 220+ I should be the same as a human. I'm taking Amlodapine and Enalapryl too!
  • Blood clots - causing some of my vision issues
  • Stroke - had one in January but completely recovered
  • Hair thinning on tail and back
  • Muscle weakness in the back legs
  • Prone to infection - had kidney infection twice and I hate the medicine!

We'll see how this drug does to alleviate these symptoms
