Howdy!! Terry is experiencing tremendous "body" pain all over
......his Gleevec was raised to 800mg per day. The nausea is also
extremely hard for him to deal with....he is already overweight & having to
fight off the nausea is causing him to eat even more, so that is a
concern.
I have had him take as much as 800mg of Advil (Ibuprofen) at a time to
deal with the pain. However, it only dulls it, not make it disappear. In
addition, during the night, he often cries out in pain, especially if he is
trying to turn over, etc. Needless to say that I am not sleeping well
either.
I am looking for suggestions for pain relief. Our oncologist is
hesitant to suggest anything else...first of all, constant use of Advil is
irritating to the stomach. Also, since hubby is a school bus driver, pain
relief meds will be limited to what he can take during the daytime hours....and
also how late in the evening he can take it, so that the med will wear off
before 6am when he begins his route
I am most concerned because he is going for a sleep study tomorrow night
& with his constant pain, I worry that his test results will be tainted due
to the pain. He takes his work physical on Thur & will have to still
have our oncologist & also family physician to sign off because the
occupational doc will fail Terry as he did last year due to the leukemia.
thanks for any suggestions
