I'm bummed. Reported on my energy massage and how much it helped. Well, that night started with major diarrhea and keep having nausea and diarrhea every day for a few hours. Felt so bad this morning, I stayed home from work. I have an appt for another massage next week so will ask about that when I go there. Hard to know the source of stomach issues. Only change for me is TKI but more than tired of the unpredictable nature of my gut.

Hi Gail,

 

Get an anti nausea script from your doc, I used to use Maxalon. Try taking a probiotic plus add some fibre into your diet something like metamusil or psylium husks. The fibre will help bulk up the stools. I always had gastro stop in my handbag as well. Keep a record of what you're eating, coffee wasn't always a friend of mine.

Hi Gail,  It sounds like you're not ready for a massage yet. Any tki affects your entire body, a massage sounds great but think about all your insides that are getting  all smushed around. I would try to use a hot tub oh that sounds so goooooood!!!!!   Go easy on yourself it hasn't been that long since your dx. You will get your old life back plus a new normal as we call it. We just have to slow down a bit

Love hearing everyone's great blood work results, so happy for you. Gail I have heard when you have a massage it releases toxins in your system, I wonder if that is what is happening to you.. I took a bath with Epsom salts and something similar happened to me.... Never again will I use them I am afraid it will happen again, made me so very sick.

Good thought Chrissy. I've heard that too. I just think I'm blessed ? With a sensitive tummy and if anything new happens it rebels.

Congrats on the excellent response! Just got my latest PCR results, looks like I'm steady. 100 mg Sprycel.

 

10/10/2015   0.091

 

and previous was

 

6/10/2015     0.089

 

Statistically equivalent. I am not unhappy with this result even though it is up .002 percent! I am about 28 months since DX.


DX 6/2013

Sprycel 100mg

CCR 3/2015

MMR 2/2016

<.01 IS 10/16 hopkins didn't report actual percentage

.007 IS 6/2017

<.01 12/2017 again no actual percentage but didn't see the report myself yet
