https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.3109/10428194.2014.982639 Hi Ragavan, I'm glad that your feeling better, and as I have already explained to you that you are not imagining this because your mind KNOWS when you are felling better as well as when your feeling worse. And I am sure that you already know this. Now I have included a couple of links that give you some information and I want you to thoroughly read and understand about the side effects. You have to remember that your not so much dealing with arthritis or cataracts but with CML for the most part. When I try to help someone I may sit up until early in the morning trying to understand more about the subjects I am looking for. In your case I want to make sure that you know the best ways to help yourself try to help yourself. Yes I know that I am not a doctor nor are you. There are doctors out there that sometimes also have to learn new things, and as my father told me about learning new things every day. So just let me repeat this once again: When someone learns something new every day then they become smarter. When they refuse or or not willing then they revert back to yesterday. Raganvan that includes you, me and all of the doctors in the world. 18's, Marty On Tue, Jul 31, 2018 at 1:32 AM, Gopalsamy Ragavan <graga...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear Marty, > > Thanks for the long caring reply. :) > > I am from Chennai, India and part of this group from 2012.
