Hi SusieQ, So glad you are undetectable; that is our goal that we shoot for. Pain is such an issue and if you are like me, I never like to think of myself as having to live off pills. Well, my life certainly has changed as pills are a way of life for me now. Pain management is very important; living with pain is a constant strain on our stress levels. My sister, who has never taken a CML drug has arthritis really bad in her knees and back. She is going for her 3rd knee implant soon. She walks with a cane but is doing really well. Good luck to all, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 6/24/2013 10:53:11 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

My doctor is letting me cut the Gleevec back to 100mgs a day and we will see how that does. I will celebrate my tenth anniversary of my diagnosis next February 6th (according to my mom as that's her birthday and she always reminds me that I called her and told her on her birthday about the diagnosis.) I see the new Pain Management Specialist this coming Friday. I do hope he is able to help me. I have had two awful bad nights in a row now. Was doing much better up till then. Been seeing my Chiropractor regular and he's been helping me quite a bit with my Sciatic leg pain and hip pain. But, then the arthritis in the SI joints decided to act up and there isn't a whole lot he can do for that. I've been hitting my bottle of pain meds pretty regular for past two days. I am beginning to think my husband may be right about me being in a wheel chair soon. But, I will do all I can to fight that and keep going. I don't mind walking with my cane if I need to, but don't want to give into the wheel chair before I turn 60 years old. Alright, gotta get going now. Y'all have a great day and enjoy the summer.....
