Re: Navelbine and Ears
Bon Jour Michka,
I had some problems with my ears and discovered it was from taking nexium for acid reflux. When you take it long enough, it inhibits your body's ability to absorb vitamin B12. I stopped taking it and started taking B12 and now my ears are fine. Not sure if it will help you, but worth a thought. I also had severe bone pain and fatigue for a week after my first infusion of Zometa. It got easier the longer I was on it. It has also done a number on my kidneys, so do be aware to drink lots of fluids in the 24 hours after your infusion.
On another note, my daughter is moving to Paris in August with her job. She works for Arevia in Wash. D.C. and just took a job in Paris. I hope to be able to afford a trip to visit her sometime soon.
Take care and remember we ALL have our silly moments of fear. You are not alone.
Emelie
