Sorry to hear your so ill.

How long were you on tx? (weeks)
How long have you been off?

You should be starting to feel human again real soon after quitting the meds.

Now doctors don't take you off tx due to too many side effects.

I have a feeling your number (CBC's) must have been real low.

Do you have a copy of your last weeks of treatment. (bloodwork)

If you do call his office, tell him about you being so sick like you are, and you would like to know why?

Keep in touch!
