my earlier post about how I solved my bone pain problem on 800 mg Gleevec with

Ativan. It is a tranquilizer but it DOES work for bone pain in a fairly low

dose. It is not addictive. I never had any problems at all with it. I only

had to take an Ativan IV once when the pain was literally unbearable. Other

than that I just took tabs as needed.

at night and don't have any pain at all.

Hi there,

Yes, I do go to Dr. Rappaport but it was a bad BMB from his nurse practitioner

on top of one that had been given to me at town University awhile back.

It was the combination of two inuries.

Yes, Ativan and lorazepam are the same thing. I know they say there's a

possibility of psychological or even physical dependency. I did not have that

problem and easily gave up the drug once the pain had disappeared when I stopped

taking Gleevec.

Aleve seems to me to be a really good option since a lot of people don't want to

take Tylenol or Ibuprofen. Dr. Rappaport knows I take it and there's no

contraindication on Sprycel.

Hi Esther,

I went to the Univ of Md because they had an opening in the Sprycel clinical

trial and it was about to close soon after I lost response to Gleevec. Are you

on the Sprycel trial? Or do you go as a regular patient to Dr. Rappoport. I

like him very much. As a matter of fact, before I stopped getting BMB's it was

Dr. R who gave me BMB's in my sternum because my hips are so shot.

Hi i go to Dr.rappaport as a regular patient i am on 400mg of Gleevec

everyone kept saying that you should go to a specialist and since i would but

heads with the Dr. i was going to i decided to give him a try and i like him

very much it is very different going to a big hospital like Uof M.instead of

going to your local hematologist.but i had also considered s Hopkins,but i'm

happy with Dr. R

I think you made a good decision, Esther. Dr. R sees so many CML patients in

every stage of the disease. I've been going to Univ of Md since early 2004 and

even though I live in Northern Virginia I don't mind the drive to Baltimore

every 3 months because I get very good care.
