Sorry for the extended "vacation" Ha! Went into the hospital to have a biopsy done on a growth in the sinus chamber over my right eye. Turned out benign, thank God. It was a return engagement. Had the darn thing seven years ago, and had it removed through the nose via endoscopy surgery. This time, the docs wanted to do a biopsy because of the blood cancer situation. Still turned out benign, again thank God. Have now just yesterday started Rinuxin treatment for the Waldenstroms Syndrome. Supposed to take only 4 treatments to bring down the bad protein count to below 400. Supposed to be 350 or so under normal conditions. Hopefully, when the Waldenstroms is under control, or even hopefully GONE, the PN will follow suit.
As to the question on Tylenol, yes I do take two 500 mg extra strength capsules at one time. Sometimes as much as 3 times a day. That is why I am soooo hopeful that the Rituxan will react in a hurry. The PN pain in my hands is progressing at a rapid pace, and it's getting scary. I am to the point that I have to start my car with my left hand, as there is too much pain , and too little muscle control in my right hand to actuate the start position on the key switch. I am looking into having a "remote start" switch incorporated in the key fob so that I can start the car with the push of a button instead of the normal way of twisting the key switch. I have seen some in the neighborhood that have that function as a part of the original purchase of the car. But, I am told that it can be added easily. We'll see.
Again, sorry for the delay.....
