[Guest guest]

My placebo works for me.

Gin-Soaked Raisins for Arthritis

Half a chance it will work for others.

mostly in my hands. I Have CML since 6/06. I am on 400

mgs of Gleevec, am in Zavie's 0 club and hope I stay there after my

cytogenetic blood test on tuesday. My doctor told me to take calcium which I do

but not

every day. Since I am taking it every day the I don't have the pain as much

or as often. I will be 74 in April. I thought the pain was arthritic but it is

strictly a side affect .

Ask your doctor for his advice.

Thanks ! Yea the side effects are fun. I feel like I am hearing a

kids bicycle helmet on my head made out of bowling ball material weighing 15

pounds. Wife asked me what it felt like............haha

She has been a real trouper. She had female type cancer 6.5 years ago. I

swear, me watching her deal with that was harder than what I am experiencing.

That is one reason I am really worried for her.

Today, our best friends mom was dx with stomach cancer. Oddly they were in

the hospital room for my consultation with my Dr who is now her mom's Dr.

Odd coincidences.

hey chris

i too went to er for a internal hemarage in my left leg on fathers

day 06, then found out i had cml. doc tells me im doing well as far as the cml.

gleevec does have some truly enjoyable side effects (lol) but seems to work well

at least for me. Was just informed i also have MS. so just remember life can be

cruel but beats the snot out of the alltinative. just hang in there it will get

better...
