Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 My opthomalogist has told me since 1974 time and time again to NEVER use Visine products in the eyes. I have been using Naphcon A for the last 15 years...before CML. It is cheapest to buy at a Target when they have 50% more written on the box. I was told my my doctors that the blurring of vision is Gleevec related especially if it has to do with edema! Just a heads up on that one... For shingles-I had them prior to CML; the doctor prescribed Famvir which was just released at that time. I never had any problems. My husband came down with shingles last year. We have a dermatologist who specializes in shingles. Guess what he prescribed for my husband? FAMVIR! It is a fantastic drug---my husband had shingles on his abdomen and mine was on the sciatic nerve behind my right leg. FAMVIR makes sure (if you take the full prescribed does) that you NEVER get Shingles again. This is my two cents worth for the year!
