Subject: [CML] Shingles - They're
Back
Hi all. Thought I'd give you all a quick
update. I am getting ready
to head to MDACC next week in Houston to
start the stem cell harvest
process. Looks like I have
shingles AGAIN - this time in my right
arm. Ironically, a week after
I started Gleevec two years ago, I got
shingles (in my leg). A week
after I stopped the Gleevec in
preparation for the harvest, I got them
again. It started as pain in
my shoulder and slowly creeped down my
arm. I immediately knew the
pain was shingles
pain. For those of you who have had shingles,
it's
excruciating. I went to the dr. and he's put me on Valtrex to
limit the severity of the illness and I am taking 800 mg of Ibuprofen
for pain (and boy - is it painful). Wouldn't it figure
that this
would happen with poor timing. I had hoped to used both
arms for the
harvest so we'll have to see if that option is still a
possibility.
I plan to post to the group through out the process to
keep everyone
posted and updated. I also hope to take some digital
pics that I'll
attempt to put in the files.
Hope this finds
everyone doing well. It's hotter than blazes here in
NC. Stay
cool and talk to you all soon!
Love,
Barb
