I'm still having pain but it's not AS severe as when I was using sprycel. I've had frustrating experiences with Drs. I changed once when he insinuated that my pain was my weight and arthritis. I like my new dr. But his reply is similar. Too much to type but in a nutshell, I get the feeling that Drs think I should be happy for the med which I am!!

Like you, I attributed all my symptoms to something else; if it wasn't hereditary it had to be age related. The antibiotic coincidence has me concerned, though because I know a couple of people who have taken the same high powered meds.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402247635006701650.post-84585395193366150022014-01-30T18:28:04.952-08:002014-01-30T18:28:04.952-08:00Donna, that IS interesting; did you have side effe...Donna, that IS interesting; did you have side effects from the Levaquinn?<br />MicheleMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18185513255737012093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7402247635006701650.post-61052422293519208092014-01-26T19:58:07.777-08:002014-01-26T19:58:07.777-08:00Michele, was just recently diagnosed with CML.

I was given Leavequin 16 months prior and you were given Cipro one year prior. Very interesting. Btw, I am close to your age when diagnosed (48). DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
