Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi all: One of the members on this list sent me some research information on levaquin and I have missed placed the web site addy. If you or anyone on the list know anything about this so called drug, please contact me. I have been diagnosed with Myelo Dysplastic Syndrome and am not believing it. I was on levaquin last year just after Christmas and feel very strongly that 'it' has caused my low white blood count. I would like to be able to take the information along when I go back the 22nd for another blood draw. According to the doctor I have one year or with treatment, maybe up to 20 months. BULLS*** Also, Butch, will you email me off list. Would like your opinion on a issue I am thinking of trying. My email addy is britchs Blessings and love, Effie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Thanks, Carol, for the support. The doctor isn't always right and I will not go sit in a corner and say 'poor me'. I have never been a quitter and I am NOT going to start now. The doctor won't consider a bone marrow transplant because as she put it--I'm too old!!!!!! That's a kick in the shin.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 A million thanks for caring. I have even thought of not going back to the doctor again because I feel I was misdiagnosed!! Do have a lot of questions to ask so will find out more on Wednesday.

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Effie, My heart goes out to you! I would most assuredly go for a 2nd opinion! If this is a condition you DO have, then they should do everything they can to help you. Too old for a transplant. <HMPH!> That's just plain wrong! If you've been misdiagnosed, then you need to know the REAL problem you are dealing with, so it can be treated properly....either by a doctor or by natural means. Please, please keep fighting! Life is too precious to give up....and I can tell by your emails that you are a fighter! So keep it up. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Take good care!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Sorry I just had to butt in here. I work in a nursing home and no one is too old for anything. I have a lady going for surgery on polops on Tuesday that she has had in her nasal cavities sinces she was a child and she is 80 plus years old. How can he say that you are too old? Find a second doctor and get another opinion! Kathy in Ohio - C. Lucas 12/19/2004 9:51:39 PM Re: OT - INFO Effie, My heart goes out to you! I would most assuredly go for a 2nd opinion!

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Kathy, When it comes to bone marrow or other transplants they do have cut-off's when it comes to age, but also there is another intake factor, such as general health ,condition etc..than there is the insurance factor... Our health nowadays is not determined by what makes sense or should be done, but by what the insurance's, medicaid, medicare are willing to pay. If you are super rich you can get anything done... But I agree, this lady needs to see another Doctor for a second opinion. C-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of someone that could find out for you what you really have. This of course is if you believe. Let me know and I will see if they can for you but we would need your permission to do so. What does that mean? It means you just have to say yes I want you to sense me. Let me know Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Thanks, Barbara. I did go back to the doctor yesterday and they done another blood work up.
