Hi Vivi: I just had an appointment with a neurologist/ophthalmologist due to the severe double vision/blurred vision, headaches, long and short- term memory loss and cognitive difficulties I am experiencing. They did an MRI/MRA of the brain and ruled out anything concerning there (whew!). Some

Hi Group, Received my flu shot yesterday afternoon and about 4 hours later I felt like crud. I started getting in 2000 and never had a problem before. I wonder if it was from the shot. Got the stakes, a little nausea, took a 1.0 xanax and went to bed. greenie **AOL

Hi Sandy, This is most likely the most difficult time of your life. Our son, Adam, now 15, was diagnosed in March of 04. He was on Gleevec for almost a year and had serious leg and arm pain for about a month. He took 400mg (in capsule form) and once he got used to it he managed fine. The

Hi Greenie. I had a flu shot about a month ago and had problem at all. I am on Tasigna, but had them for years on Gleevec without a problem. Hope this helps, but know that we're all different and react different to things. Hang in there. Millie

Thanks so much Patrick. I'm hanging in there. I haven't had any chemo for about 2 weeks now; don't know whether to be happy or sad. My counts are rising slowing, except for my hemg. I'm trying to eat well, and exercise. My potassium went up a little this week. I have to go back on my low

Hi Richard, It sounds like you are having as much fun as I am hehe. I've never taken Procrit; I wonder why my onc hasn't mentioned it. My counts are usually too high, not low, but that Tasigna knocked them for a loop. It didn't play around. Jeanie3 In a message dated 11/4/2008 9:23:17 P.M.
