Hi Jeannie. I have same side effect. My Hair has thinned and I have rush lately but is not so bad. My eyes are red and dry most of the time. I use drops for dryiness.

Hi Renee,
Yes, my hair has thinned out a lot.
It use to come out as I brushed my hair.
I haven't had the nausea so I've been blessed with that.
I love to eat but have always believed in eating healthy.
I use a lot of olive oil, yogurt and try to eat fruit and veggies; sunflower seeds are good for you.
I've never been much of meat eater but have meat occasionally.
My favorite is chicken.
I've had palpitations ever since I had CML; it has never gone away.
I is always there sometimes bad sometimes not so bad.
Lots of rest is important also.
I've had a bad rash for a while now.
The Dr. is treating it with fungal meds but I wonder if it's gleevac related.  Anyone else had a rash?
I've also had problems with my eyes and nose.
I like to hear what everyone else is having problems with.
Let's all post our problems so we can see if we are having the same ones.
Blessings,
Jeanie<3

The biggest problem I've had has been with food.  Specifically,
keeping it in my stomach.  I've tried different things and have
decided it works best if I take it right before bed.  That means I
have to eat right before bed too.  At least I don't have the nausea
and loss of appetite during the day that I was having before. 
Compared to the side effects of other treatments, it's not that
bad.  I've also noticed (my vanity showing) that my hair is getting
thinner.  Has anyone else had these types of problems?  Also, they
mention that some herbs can cause problems.  I have noticed that
when I eat anything with rosemary before I take my medicine I get
sick.  I also know St. John's Wart can be a problem.  Does anyone
know what other herbs should be avoided?
