Hi,

Please can you tell me some more on the sideeffects coz what we have heard from the docs and also from our searches on the net is that As2O3 is a kind of slow poision and leaves deposits on the finger nails and toes and hair too. Also there are damages to the liver in some cases where in heavy metals like Arsenic deposit more.

Do let me know some more on this.

Thanks and Regards

My dad too felt he had become weak and hence required a transfusion . when his CBP was taken his platelets showed 22K, WBC – 3800 and HG- 5.3

His earlier CBP taken more than 1.5 months earlier showed a platelet of 20K, WC – 3100 and Hg – 5.4

Wanted to know if the increase in WBC is a cause of concern?

Cheers
Sandhya

Hi,

My dad’s HGB count went as low as 5. He had vision blurredness too and started having palpitations. Based on this his doc decided to give him blood transfusions , 2 units.

After that he felt a little better and the internal bleeding in the eye also got better, so his vision. But even now he has some blurring about 10 – 15%.

The doc will decide based on how you are feeling whether to go in for a transfusion or not.

Thanks Patti,

Will definitely check with my dad’s current Naturopath whether he can take Cod liver oil.

Wanted to know one more thing on Thalidomide.
we feel that taking thalidomide is making the person feel more weak as it is destroying the good as well as bad cells.is this correct.?
My dad is taking Thalidomide, had infections and was forced to have transfusions to boost his hb levels. Now he has again started to take thalidomide.
We are very confused whether to start taking Thalidomide or not now.?

Please do reply incase you know of it.?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

My dad has also been diagonised of MDS +RAEB. he has just started to take Thalidomide but had diahorrea , fever cough and cold and was forced to take transfusion as he Hb count was 5.4 and platelets – 20000.
he discontinued thalidomide then and has started again now.

Please let me know if Thalidomide is really working and what are the side effects.
