Sharon - no other medications

That is interesting that your specialist thinks you have done so well because

you are not taking other medication.

Does he mean by other medication being medication that does not interfere with

Glivec

Or

No medication at all.

My own experience is my specialist calls me a " clean-skin " because I am on no

other medication on a daily management regime.

However at times he prescribes different drugs based on side effects at lower

doses to support me or that of antibiotics etc.

I also have a Menieres condition whereby I previously took Serc each day however

since my bloods Hbg

have increased to near normal I have had no vertigo or side effects of Menieres.

(Winter is a trigger for me for hydrops pressure so that

will be a test)

I am on a salt skip program (SSP) of eating - www.saltmatters.org

(Disclaimer here as the gals will have knowledge - chocolate is my downfall as

is cake) so perhaps a part time SSP.

This not only supports my Menieres and Vertigo reactions but also supports not

having to use diurectics for water retention so hence one less drug

with Menieres and one less drug for water retention.

I am putting up with issues for Menopause (they are not that bad) to have

another less drug to interact with glivec.

What are your thoughts
