Today I feel like trash. Very weak, nausea. Doctor called me Saturday and said I had very little immune system left. She is trying to get my insurance to pay for Nupragen{spelling?]They will only pay for it if I go down below 500. Swell. God bless. David.

" I'm sorry to hear about your insurance woe's, how typical... I had to start taking Procrit, my counts were very low, and I was feeling awful and white as a ghost. The pharmacy had to call my insurance company because it exceeded a dollar amount, but when they called, it was then approved..maybe you should have your pharmacy call for you. Just a suggestion. All the best, hope you start to feel better soon. xoxo "

" I do not have medical ins. this is the reason i did not get it. there is always something. i am better off without it (i am not saying you are). i can go to a charity hospital for free and get most of my meds and visits free are for hardly nothing or i can pay 200 dollars a month for med ins and still have to pay copays and deductables. its just better for me not to have it! i was on procit as well, the hospital paid for it. if you can get the nupragen, great. it will probably make you feel better! The meds can be horrible. just remember we are ALL here for you and God bless you. "

" Me too. Maybe that is why I was throwing up last night. Am taking extreme measures to keep hands away from face and to wash like a doctor, hands, wrists, up to elbows. Take things as slow as you can and REST. Please take good care of you. ...OH! Just started that Dannon Immunity Boost liquid yogurt everyday...and must resume vitamins...so bad "

" Yes, when my white blood cells drop I sure feel a lot worse, like difficulty breathing, higher pulse and very tired. I used zinc, sprouts, yogurt and green veggies to help boost in back up last time it happened. Went lower this last blood work so am trying those same foods again to boost. Good Luck, and stay strong. "

" David hang in there. Things will get better!! if it gets to bad your docs might change the dosages on your meds. Mine was very low and had to lower dosage for awhile but it brought itself back up and I continued regular dose of meds. Keep the faith brother, we are all praying for you and our success in the fight against the dragon! "
