Has anyone else had trouble with Signifor (pasireotide) injections for Cushing's disease?
I've been prescribed Signifor 0.9mg/ml Inj, (60x1ml) to manage my Cushing's disease and I'm wondering if anyone else has experience with this medication. I'm curious about the injection process, any side effects you've encountered, and how it has impacted your daily life. Does anyone have tips for managing the side effects or making the injections less painful? I'd appreciate any insights or advice from others who have gone through this.
Stomach issues were a nightmare for me but I've found using ginger tea and other natural remedies really helps. Just stick with it and know everyone is different. Take care!
Signifor has been a lifesaver for me. My cortisol levels have been much better controlled, and I've seen a big improvement in my symptoms.
Has anyone experienced any serious side effects? Like is it normal to feel dizzy every day?
I had some severe stomach issues when I started but my doctor helped me manage them with some anti-nausea meds. It gets better over time as your body adjusts.
I've had some minor hives around the injection site but it's not terrible, just something to be aware of!
Side effects can be a pain for sure. Always keep your doctor in the loop so they can adjust your dosage. I dealt with severe digestive issues but now I'm just taking it easy and feeling much better.
I had to switch to a different medication because the side effects from Signifor were too tough for me. I suggest talking with your doctor about the possibility of finding a better fit.
I'm not sure about the side effects but the injections themselves can be intense! It's worth it if you can deal with it.
