Eithne01,
The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed significantly since the late 1990s, with the development and subsequent approval by the Food and Drug Administration of imatinib (in 2001), the first of a class of medications called tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which target the specific abnormality that causes CML.
Before that time, patients were treated with other therapy, including interferon and bone marrow transplant, and had very poor outcomes.
My doctor told to come for additional test in two weeks. Now my WBC is 1.3 and absolute neutrophils count is 0.04. I was told to stay home on antibiotics. How long it may take for my counts to clime back to safe range. And of course, I'm off gleevec right now. Does it seem that dose of 400mlg is too high for me.
I have been diagnosed with CML since Novmber of 2007. I am still a little confused about some things. and i guess when my WBC's got back to 4.5 I was excited and thought I was all good- In the clear huh... Well in less than a month my WBC's dropped back down to 1.8 and they say that I am good as long as I don't go past 1.5. Ok fine. I don't go back for another month and I already feel like **** and have had pneumonia 2x in the past month.
My 24 year cousin is my best friend and was just diagnosed with CML and her doctors are very optimistic, but she has so many qiestions she is scared to ask. They are going to put her on the "Miracle Pill" will she lose her hair? Will is hurt her chances of have children? As optimistic as the doctors are, is there any chance that this is a fatal condition?
We are scared should we be?
Wow I've never seen Paracetamol mentioned on here, it's always Tylenol lol. I'm from the UK and its all I take. Paracetamol is safe in pregnancy but they do advise to take the minimal effective dose and for the shortest time.
I had a headache and I took 2 Paracetamol pills. After 2,5 hours I drank a beer. Is this ok or should I have any consequenses?
You should be able to get that in UK. Stops the cough and is great on a sore throat and pregnancy safe. Be careful if you have bee allergies though. Manuka has a lot more healing properties than other varieties of honey and is therefore a little more expensive but totally worth having a jar in the cupboard.
Panadeine Forte is a combination of 30mg codeine and 500mg of paracetamol, and due to the higher dose of codeine, requires a prescription. For long term use on a daily basis, other medication should be considered. For occasional use to treat flare-ups in pain, a person may be allowed to take up to 8 capsules a day, which is 240mg of codeine and 4gms of paracetamol.
The danger with combination drugs that contain paracetamol is that paracetamol can be fatal in large enough doses.
re feverish, you could use and keep cold damp towel to your forehead and keep taking your Paracetamol. Rest and sleep is best and take plenty of fluids. Calamansi juice but not too sugary ( sugar is bad for colds) and Chicken soup is great to clear the chest. Don't over wrap yourself as this will even raise up your temperature. Is Oil of Oregano available in the Phil. ? You could take those for 3-4 days.. If your temp. goes up to 39.5 , its better to see your Doctor.
It can come from sleeping on your side because of the pressure on your jaw.
Have you discussed this with your doctor?
Paracetamol is a life saver
Many people only get the aches after the first 2 or 3 injections, so it is likely this will subside before he has had to consume very much paracetamol. Other sx might appear instead, but let us know and we can often offer suggestions to help with them.
Hello Doc,
My 9 months old kid is having light fever and is prescribed with Cephalexin 125 mg, Deriphyllin syrup and one antipyretic (Paracetamol and brufen combination) for 5 days is it fine?
Today I have the scent and smell of something like sipping a paracetamol in my mouth. Any idea what is going on?
