Haven't Written in Awhile Mood
Wednesday, January 28, 2009 | A General Update story

Well it's been a few weeks since I've written in my journal.  I'm feeling pretty good, but the Gleevec is really doing a number on my bowels.  I'm trying fiber supplements and that doesn't seem to be helping.  It really concerns me but the doctor seemed to think the fiber supps will help.  I was also told I could try flax seeds, which will be my next step.   I'll give it a week or so and see if there is any difference.  If not, I'll have to call the doc.  Other than that, I'm really doing well.  I am back working out at the gym which was a hugh step for me.  I have alot more energy.  Not much else is going on with me right now.  Hope all my friends at Daily Strength are doing well.

    Right on with the working out!! I tried that yesterday with my husband and it's a no go. I did some walking on the treadmill, and about a quarter through the 3rd lap my joints started to bother me. I know for me, my bowels decide when they want to come and go. Sometimes it can be a pain in the tooshie!
