Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I asked my research nurse if there were any reimbursements for expenses and he said " no " . This is interesting that they allow up to $1000 by your research nurse. I will definitely ask him again and bring this to his attention. Thank you!! It sounds like you are treated very well. I usually go to the library and sit at the computers while I wait for time to pass. Sitting in waiting rooms is sooooo cold and I fall asleep if I try reading so computers work better for me. Are you experiencing any bone pain or any side effects yet? You're right, this is a good drug. I'm taking 30 mg 2 hours after a light breakfast, toast w/peanut butter, then nothing for two hours post meds. Is that your schedule? Thanks, Jackie > > > Here it is, Obama's health care plan.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yeah, we don't get any reimbursements either..fortunately, I have a laptop and UCSF has free wireless for guests, so I was able to entertain myself all day. I tried reading a book, but found it hard to focus. I received a free lunch too, but it was straight from the hospital kitchen--chicken style food product, one scoop of mashed potatoes with a gravy-like goop over the top. I was hungry, so was happy to eat! So far so good, but I've had a brutal headache the last two days. I think it is from a lack of caffeine yesterday and too many hours in front of a computer screen on Wednesday, so I'm hoping this will pass. Hope everyone else is doing well...

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Oops, forgot to answer your question...yes, I'm on the same schedule...I have breakfast before 8am, get my blood draw/vitals around 10am, then 2 hours after that I can eat again.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hi Beth, Did you report your headache to the nurse? My research nurse said that one patient experienced a headache but they weren't sure if it was a side effect from the AP or not. I had labs done today and all is still holding strong. In fact my wbc & plts were up a little. The PA who reviewed results with me said that that will probably change as time goes on! So I am enjoying it for now. Still some bone pain in my legs. She prescribed Darvon if it should interrupt with my sleep. No ibuprofen or aleve - they decrease platelets. Are you feeling okay? God Bless, Jackie > > > Here it is, Obama's health care plan.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Not yet, but I will. In my case it could also be due To other things. Yesterday was my one year anniversary from diagnosis, I heard from Stanford that they found a donor, and, of course, I'm adjusting to these new meds. I did go to the chiro yesterday and my neck muscles were like rocks. Glad to hear you are feeling well. No bone pain for me at this point. I keep visualizing this drug as the Calvary coming in to wipe out the invaders in my body. Take care and good luck!

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I vision great things going on too. What wonderful news that they found a donor!! Are you going ahead with a transplant or are you going to wait to see how the Ariad drug works? It's a comfort knowing there is a complete match. Keep us posted on how well you do.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm in absolutley no hurry for transplant! I have so much faith in the Ariad drug, I know I won't need a transplant! (And, it is good to have a back-up plan! lol) I had an even worse headache today--more like a migraine. Started about 20 mins after I took the meds. Drove home and lay down with an ice pack on my neck and a wash cloth over my face, helped out quite a bit. How are you doing?
