Diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. At the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. Before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. Verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. Lifethreatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. Talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. Serious liver problems can happen. Symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. Blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. My relentless reason its them.

Reporter we went on a hike through the redwoods where after a moment she invited us to look up and look within. The redwoods remind me of two things, regeneration after being clear cut and connection. Whenever anything is off or off balance in my life, like last week, we had a crazy week and i literally just go out under the oaks, which i call the aostles, which form a grove for me, and the redwoods in the front yard, and i find peace and sanity there. Thank you for this opportunity. Thank you. After the hike, excitement. Oh, my god, i cannot believe oprah just hiked with us. Reporter and for nicole piez, confirmation.

Reporter oprah had a good time, too. This was fun. Reporter this was so much fun. Yeah. Reporter what made you want to come here to oakland .

What difference do you hope having oprah here to shine a light on this will do . Well, i think it has an opportunity to shine a light of hope, of connection in times when people may not feel as connected. You know, in times when cities dont feel like friendly places. We can shine a light on a beautiful park like Joaquin Miller park and let people know that nature is so close, its right in your backyard. You guys, oprah really had a good time on this hike. It looks like it. That middle section, we were looking up and doing that, that was supposed to be the end of it, oprah was like were done . This is the end . They were like, no, we can keep going. We hiked some more. She was really enjoying being out there. She kept breaking away, was looking at the trees. It is a beautiful park. It gets you into that place. Its amazing. I love it. I love that it started in oakland. I did not know that. You heard of it in denver, it expanded across the country. It started as a blog in 2009. She talked about how being in nature helped her with personal things in her life. She said nature is healing. She wanted to share that with people and for people who may feel like i dont know where to start in nature. I dont know anyone in a new city. It gives them an opportunity. She says everyone is a beginner, you dont have to feel intimidated about can i keep up with this . Thats awesome. I need some trees in my life. And walk like oprah. Hello. Trees. Disciples .
