Hi,my name is Sue
From two years ego I had elevated white blood cell and I was too much worry and my stress level was very high waiting the blood result.Than suddenly I felt my lymph node under my armpit swollen and the doctor did xray ultra sound come back I dont have any problem just enlarge lymphnode maybe from infection and didnt go back to normal and wbc count 14 maybe from stress and they gave me xanax ,I felt great I was doing exercise and eating healthy and they check my blood every six month and wbc was 11 or 12 until july 2019 I went to the doctor for normal blood work it come out wbc 32 and he did more blood work come out I have CML. I was surprised at the result.I told the doctor maybe because I have infected toe.he said this not infection and I have to start med Imatinib Mesylate Tablets I get it just 4 days ego and I started at 8 pm every night today my 5th day I was doing well but yesterday I get really in stress situation and I drove back home and I felt really tired and weak I cant do anything my knees suddenly felt very weak until today and today I felt very cold during the night , I dont feel I can go to work Im still very weak and cold I dont know if this from stress or the med Imatinib,by the way I stopped the xanax a month ego because they have very bad side effect.I dont have family or friends around me I live in Buffalo ny and all my family live in Germany.Thank you very much for this support groups.I wish all CML patients speedy recovery.
