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.
Are you currently on any medication like imatinib? The neutropenia can be due to your current medication. You can ask your hematologist for G-CSF injection if you have persistent neutropenia. Patients with CML are immunocompromised and can easily acquire infections. Neutropenia also puts a patient in an immunocompromised state.
For now, it is very important to prevent acquiring any infection. You should avoid crowded places and persons with ongoing infection.
Good luck.
Hi.
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) is a blood disorder caused by an acquired genetic defect in the pleripotent stem cell. It has several phases: indolent chronic or stable phase, aggressive or advanced phase, and accelerated and blastic phase. The transition between phases may take years (on the average, 4 to 6 years from the stable phase to aggressive phase).
Need advice from u all. I had an emc over 2yrs ago as my little girl went into distress. She had IUGR. Im now 34wks on no2. This baby also has IUGR but not as severe as my little girl did. Dr said iv to decide what i wanna do by monday when i go back. So do i opt for elective cs or try a vbac. As this baby isnt as small she said shes happy for me to try myself. However last time was so traumatic between being induced twice and then the drama of having a horrible emc.
Im confused what to do.

If you've had vitamin D testing at Quest in the last two years, I would strongly recommend considering having your levels rechecked.
Average survival rates are generalizations, not applicable to a particular patient. The prognosis is relatively good. Newer techniques are being tried, including imatinib and stem cell transplantation.
All the best, and God Bless!
There's a big old surprise. I saw that coming when I heard that there was a meeting today.
I'm not sure that this means anything for the region. Those folks have been going at it for centuries.
TY for the reply. Yes I was told and am thinking that its parasitc or allergy. I went to aruba in June but that wouldn't have an affect on me now, would it?
I've been reading about this; sure hope they get the other one before any more people get hurt.
5 months back i had mri, which ruled out ms, I also had emc test and was told to stop worring and its stress. I did put it behind me for some months but its still there and in my opinion getting worse...I am also quiet nasally and have phlegm but no cold/flu. I have crohn's but under control.

I have two of the symptoms you mention, and maybe I can supply some information that you can research to learn why you have numbness in your fingers.First, there is a technique that Neurologists perform named, " Elec-tro-my-og-ra-phy"(EMC). Doctors place electrodes on the wrists, elbows, ankles and applied small amounts of current to judge whether your muscles are functioning well. This technique foretold that I would have carpel-tunnel syndrome in future years.

Therapy with corticosteroids is used for the treatment of most and additional therapy is available and dependent upon the type of HS. Newer medicines such as imatinib and mepolizumab are said to be promising. So, should your son have HS, there is reason to be optimistic regarding a positive response to currently available therapy.
You should request, of his doctor, an additional explanation for the tentative diagnosis of pre-hypertension.
Good luck.
https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/6414/pil#gref It's also used for anxiety. :>) Her terminology of tranquilizer is probably related to that. Anxiety that has psychosis involved which yes, could result from a traumatic situation. The medication is an anti psychotic The good news she is taking it which means she wants to be better. I would talk to her about her mental health issues with no judgement.

Here is a news article in the New York Times regarding pedialyte. I just found it on the web in an effort to give you something more than just my opinion. This is still more editorial than anything, but it gives you something.
