The platelets will come down; it takes a while to get everything under control; I managed on Gleevec by planning and eating a large breakfast to take with my pills. It seemed like to took forever for them to come down. My doctor checked my blood every few days in the beginning. Don't eat anything spicy and have a large meal when you take Gleevec. I never ate much breakfast and it was a challenge to come up with large meals but I did it. Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/10/2013 10:37:08 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi there, I was just diagnosed with CML in Oct 2012. Was put on hydroxyurea initially, but am now on Gleevec. My white counts are now at the low end of normal (4.8), but my platelets remain high. Anyone else experience this? Is this normal with CML? Also have been experiencing excruciating pain in my shin bones....have tried hot baths, A535, heating pad etc but nothing seems to relieve it. Anybody found anything that helps with the pain? I've been told not to take tylenol, aspirin or advil as they interact with the Gleevec..... -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of _http://cmlhope.com_ (http://cmlhope.com/) ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
