Laying down after taking Tasi

March 16, 2008

Dear Aliza,

Besides kicking CML in the butt, you are good at giving advice. Whenever

you are in doubt, ask your druggist and they will find out for you. When I went

to get into the Sprycel trial, we couldn't eat 2 hrs. before and after and had

to do that twice a day. I used to get up at 3:00 a.m. and take it and go back

to bed because someone else I knew was doing that and I am wondering if that

was the right thing to do. I had GERD before CML, that's how I was diagnosed.

Went to the hospital for GERD and ended up with CML. Gleevec is known for it's

gastric problems. My doctor is giving me something to bind the bile to keep it

from harming my stomach and intestines. Colisted- its good for diarrhea, too.

I remember the doctor giving it to me when I first started Gleevec.

I had other drugs to take for my heart, GERD and thyroids that I had to be

fasting, so the doctor at MDACC told me to go talk to a druggist. the closest

one to our apartment was Kroger's and I went there and asked the druggist and

showed her my list of pills and she told me a schedule I could follow. That's

my other 2 cents for the day (night) wherever you happen to be.

Count your blessings every day, Aliza,

Lottie

thankx lottie

I feel this way like I said b4, god created the body to deffent itself from

death when you have multiple problems and to top it off cml you can't afford

to not be proactive in all you do, this is our new job to survive

as long as we have to take pills that are toxic we must learn to detox ,

nourish, and creat easy ways for our bodies to handle the damage sickness and

medications do. I just puchased a distiller I filter the water first and then

distill it for drinking and cooking however you must take mineral suplements

to replace the lost minerals in water i'm largely vegeterian ecxept for fish

and chicken (organic) best to eat less amounts of good food than large

amounts of junk.vitamins and weekly vegetable juice for detox. wow sounds like

a

lot huh? these are my weapons to kick the bug in the pants. Join the war.
