Synvisc-1 Reaction

ANyway have experience with Synvisk-1? This is the injectable medicine made from rooster combs that helps replace cartilage in the knee. I had the injection and had an immediate allergic reaction and passed out for over an hour.

The next day I started breaking out in the worse case of DH i've ever had, all over the shoulders and neck.

The company says there is no gluten in the medicine although they dont know what the roosters are fed.

Strange to say the least.

That sounds awful. I hope the DH resolves for you soon. Meanwhile here is the FDA site link to report adverse reactions to drugs.

I read about this stuff when I was considering it myself for OA.

It says if you have adverse reactions to "feathers, birds, poultry or eggs" you may not wish to use the product.

Since I have a problem with eggs, I went for Hyaluronic Acid, but not the kind made from rooster combs.

Also, rashes are reported in some users, they state.

Sorry you got such a reaction! :(

Side effects from this stuff are more common than the regulatory body is letting on. :blink:

I had the injections several years ago, before my DX. I didn't have any bad reactions. Back then they did the injections into my knees once a week for 5 weeks.

Since then..I've reacted to Eggland's Best eggs because of the soy that they feed the birds. If soy could come through to the eggs..I don't think it's a far stretch for the feed to affect the chicken?

I'm so sorry you had such a bad reaction. It's miserable!

AND I found the shots really helped my knees.

Thanks much, Other the celiac I really dont have other problems although I am vegan and have not had eggs or any other animal protein in a few years. I'll have to do some research when I have time

my knee is a little better but I will never get the shot again.

Glad your knee is improving, Ken. Doc wanted to give it to me but after the awful reaction I had to cortisone I declined. I have a partial knee replacement. :) It has been great :D

they never mentioned the word partial to me-- i'll ask. the cortisone didnt help me at all but it has in the past with other problems although come to think of it I passed out after the third shot in the foot with it. i'll never try this stuff again!

I was able to have only a partial replacement (on the medial side) because that was the onlly side where the cartilage was worn away. My damage was caused by a sacroiliac problem :(, not osteoarthritis, per se. It was a real "wear and tear" injry :P

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
