Subject: [ ] Vertigo explained - DUH!!

Well after suffering for more than a week with vertigo, and adamantly

assuming ( Dr. Stanley knows it all!) that the tasigna, the water

retention and dizzy dame syndrom were all related to the drug, a visit

to my primary care physician reveals I have a good old down home case

of inner ear infection which was the reason for the sudden onset of

vertigo. I am on antibiotics and should be fine in a few days (

although I am still dizzy with different positional directions. I am

finding it strange I did not have pain with it.

I just thought you all would want to know what the real culprit was. I

do still believe it is possible that the water in the ear is from the

water retention side effect of tasigna.

Be well all of you and all good things,

Barb

Hi Barb,

When I was on Gleevec, I had so many side effects; I got to where I wouldn't

even tell the doctor.

I just suffered through them.

I know that these meds are doing a job on our bodies, but they are keeping

us alive; so go figure.

I had my ct scan, but the doctor never called me about it.

I guess it was ok.

The pain in my side is much better now.

Thanks for worrying about me.

Let us know how your ear gets and if the vertigo goes away.

Blessings,

Jeanie<3
