Marty you are a prince, thank you for your email I had eight or nine olives a few weeks ago and they must have had a ton of sodium in them and I paided the price so that's a no, no.
Thanks for your fast reply, greenie In a message dated 12/14/2016 8:57:48 AM Eastern Standard Time, wa2...@gmail.com writes:   So, David (greenie) Greenberg, hey now that's what I call a catchy name... You say that your Creatnine has slightly gone up, well I think it has a lot to do with Gleevec and I think that you had better stop eating those Polish Sausages. Salt is a big part of retaining water, and as we get older so does our kidney function.  Believe me I know. When I was much younger I would think that I was invincible and twenty some odd years later Mother nature slapped me in my face and told me not to eat that crap that I was putting down my throat. But of course I didn't listen and ended up on dialysis and four years later with a kidney transplant.   But I notice that you have become accustomed to trying to stop salt in your diet, and that is a very big plus for yourself. Also if your not diabetic try drinking Cranberry juice, it really cleans your kidneys out. Now just to be honest with you, every once in a while I like to eat Polish Sausages, and I pay dearly the next day. When I was on a cruise about twenty years ago I would like to eat Creaser salad, only this time the waiter brought over a bowl of anchovies and I put them on that salad. The next day I suffered with my legs stuffed with water, and the very worst part of it was the gout attack. I had to do to the ships doctor and get a shot of Prednisone. NEVER AGAIN!!! So my dear friend stop harassing your kidneys, you will feel much better for it...  18's Marty     On Wed, Dec 14, 2016 at 7:23 AM, myvety2k via CMLHope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: Hi Group,  I have some good news and then some not so good news. I received my blood work back from 10-07-2016 and my BCR-ABL1 fusion transcripts are NOT detected. The bad news is that my creatinine level and gone up from 1.56 to 1.82. I have always been on the high side going back to 1998. It was 1.3 back then. It was 1.58 in 6/01/2016. The other item is I'm retaining water in my feet and lower legs. Had some Polish sausage on Friday night and within 2 to 3 hours my feet, ankles and calves blew up like the Pillsbury Doughboy so no salt for me. Grace dose not use saw and when we go out for dinner I tell them NO SALT on anything but the sausage caught me by surprise. So Marty if you read this email me back or anyone and tell me what my options are because I am lost on what to do..  Have not heard from Doctor yet because she probably hasn't received a fax yet from Quest. Otherwise I doing find. Always get cramps that's been from day one when I started Gleevec the first week in Jan 2000. WBC is 4.7 and platelet court is 202 and RBC is 3.61 and it's been low ever since i started Gleevec.  So other then that I want everyone to drive safe and have a Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year.
