Cycling side effects

[Guest guest]

Hi Barb in France,

I can also attest to the cycling of side effects like diarrhea and nausea.

I am on a different drug, but there are some days I skip some meals because I am

so nauseated and other days my stomach feels o.k. I also note that my WBC

levels change when I have fever or take certain medications like Prednisone. It

may jump as much as 2 pts. I have to admit it makes me uneasy when I see it,

but there is no trend, so thank you for all your input as it puts me at ease to

know it happens to others as well, and I am not having an abnormal day. It

always goes back to 2.4, by the way, so it's something I need to get over.

Also, when I get a blood transfusion, it goes up, but it never stays there.

I hope you had a wonderful time in England with your family this summer. I

love visiting old castles and going through quaint villages. I particularly like

the Cotswolds and the tea shop next to a large red brick church that has the

most delightful tea shop. They bring you a pitcher of cold milk or a cup of hot

tea and a platter of cookies. Yummy. I know your children must have enjoyed

it, too. I hope it didn't rain too much. We went one summer when it hadn't

rained in 3 weeks and they were rationing water. There were signs on the water

closets " Flush if you must " .
