After eye injections of avastin i was switched to lucentis. i then had 2 tia's and stopped treatment. I had been experiencing shortness of breath for about three mo. and swelling in ankles and leg pain. after theTIA a neurologist said these were warnings. no one has told me how long these disturbing symptoms will last. Can this be permanent? ## I am sorry, but I really can't answer that. Have you consulted a regular doctor? If the swelling and shortness of breath have been caused by either blood clots or fluid retention, they both can be very dangerous and you should be under treatment for them. Depending on the cause, you may require blood thinners or diuretics to reduce the amount of fluid in the body. Both of these options could cause TIAs and, both require proper treatment t...

Is Avastin being used for macro degeneration? ## Do you mean wet, macular degeneration (seeing distorted straight lines)? If so, Avastin is a Godsend, stopping the disease in it's tracks. It has saved my vision. Treatments sound scary, but are easily tolerable. No anesthesia needed, etc. As far as I know there are no alternatives to saving your vision if you have wet AMD/ peace ## My mom lost her hearing in her left ear 5 days after her first shot of Avastin in her left eye for wet macular degeneration. Could there be a connection?

whats the chest/heart pain am experiencing am taking razo for 7 days, cepcitabine caps for 14 days it has been 5 days since my chemo and my chemo meds are avastin and irinotican. am a colon cancer patient ## From just a post online, no one is going to be able to give you a definitive answer as to what's causing your chest pain. If you are taking Razo, which contains Rabeprazole to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach, it could be from acid reflux, on the other hand it could be a heart problem. You should really consult your doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment, if necessary. Have you consulted your doctor, yet?

My sister is a chronic diabetic. In the past her eyes have been extensively laser-ed. One year back she received Avastin injection for edema in the retina which eventually subsided. Now again she has started developing edema. Her eye doctor now is suggesting ozurdex injection.Please advise as although avastin was an expensive injection, I believe ozurdex costs over Rs.65000.Should she suggest to her doctor to repeat avastin, and if so how often can it be given OR she has no option but to try ozurdex ## I have to apologize, because this site does not have any information on pricing in your country. However, the best advice I can provide is that her doctor would really know best what she should try, because they are the person most familiar with her medical condition and her full medical ...

Has anyone experienced loss of smell and taste since getting injections? ## What did your retinal specialist say about the cause of loss of smell and taste? Were you on Lucentis or Avastin before the start of Eylea? ## I haven't been able to find any information that lists such symptoms as being known side effects of this medication, but it's very difficult to know how any drug will affect any given person that takes it. Have you contacted your doctor about it? Learn more Eylea details here. ## I have been having inj's. for amd since Oct 2010. First Lucentic for about a year, then Avastin. I have now had about 26 inj's. of eyelia. I lost my sense of smell in 2015 and saw ent specialists. I had a CT scan and an MRI scan but nothing found. The specialist put it down to a v...
