My 19-year-old son James was dxed with CML on 7/4/05. He is a sophomore in college, living in the dorms, about thirty minutes away from home. Yesterday evening, he called to tell me that at about six in the evening, he passed out. He was in a counseling class or appointment--I am not sure which--and first got dizzy, then very very hot. He left, and thankfully, a friend went with him. Outside, his knees buckled and he blacked out. I am not sure for how long; he says not more than a second or two. Someone called an ambulance, and the EMT's went over him, took his vitals, and asked questions. He did tell them about CML, and about being on 400 mg of Gleevec. They finally concluded he was dehydrated, and drove him back to his dorm, telling him to drink more and get some rest.
So, I am waitng to hear from the doctor's office. Any thoughts? Renee, trying not to be the typical over-worried mom ------------------------ Yahoo!
