Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Troy, A very good question indeed. When I was first dxed in 04, the first doc I went to(which I fired very shortly after seeing him) told me I could not take Tylenol at all, or Aspirin. Well shortly after going to my present doc(which I am changing from them only because of my recent move) they advised me Tylenol was fine but Aspirin was still off limits. In fact they put me on Tylenol 3's for pain. You might give them a try, they are I think a bit less than darvocet so you might be able to tolerate them better. They really were not strong enough for me and upset my stomach so I am now on Loritabs. If your having to take allot of Tylenol for pain I suggest you do try some other form of pain med, I am not sure what the acceptable dosage is with Tylenol, but from what I can gather we can take it just like those that do not have CML. I can't take darvocet for the same reason I had to move off of Tylenol 3's. Darvocets really mess with my stomach.Take care, Terry On 10/9/06, trocan722 <trocan722@...> wrote: > > Hey Group!!! > > As I stated in a recent reply, I am a newbie in the CML arena.

Go to the the Gleevec website and take a look at what they say. > Take care of yourselves!!!!! > > Troy > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
