Ouch - sounds like you left heaven! Well, I would suggest you put things in writing. THis way nobody can misunderstand anything. They do have timelines for things whether they are too busy or not. I do imagine if these two people are doing *everything* that they are probably maxed out! Feel for them but push for your ds's stuff to get going regardless. You can request things and insist that things happen and do so with a smile. I would do that. Also, bring donuts or snacks to meetings and such as they might feel under appreciated having to do it all like that. Let us know how it goes at the school!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hi Everyone, Sometimes I take forgranted that everyone knows me since I've been around for a while. For those who may have forgotten or those who never knew, here is my brief history. I was diagnosed in Jan 2002 at the age of 31. I was finishing up my degree in Psychology and raising 2 daughters at the time. My WBC got up to 114 and my platelets as high as 1.6 million. I had night sweats so bad that I was sleeping with a bath towel and my bed sheets were so soaked that they wouldn't even dry for the next night's sleep. That's when I clued in that something might be wrong I started 400mg of Gleevec a month later. I only had electives left to do for my degree so I decided to do them all in biology and chemistry which gave me a better understanding of this disease. I also spent months reading medical journals and abstracts which also expanded my knowledge. I managed to graduate in the summer of 2003 and have tried to share what I've learned over the years with anyone who wanted to hear it. I'm glad to be here and hope to contribute whatever I can.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hey Tracey: No . . .I didn't know anything about you except that you live in Canada and are very knowledgeable about our bug. I thought the night sweats were the result of me becoming menopausal for years. It wasn't until diagnosis that I realized 'all' the side effects were gold related. I applaud you for completing your degree, a lot of young people would have abandoned their education and used our bug as the excuse. 3 cheers 'RAH, RAH, RAH' for being persistent; especially with children, I knew that you are 'special'.
