Hi Teresa,
First a Big CONGRATULATIONS on your molecular remission!!!!
Second the eye bleeds have been common for some of us. Why? I really don't
know????
I can tell you that mine go away on their own. It takes about a day or so...
Today I woke up with one on my eye lid. This is also very common for me. I
think it has something to do with the edema. When my eyes retain fluid at
night my eye lids are very puffy in the morning. You can actually see the
water in them. I suspect that the pressure from the swelling makes my skin
get the red bleeds too but this also will go away in a day or so for me.
The only thing I have all the time is watering eyes until about mid
afternoon or so. The water just runs out like tears. Very annoying. My work
associates will all ask me if I am crying...am I ok...etc.
I take water pills but I only take them every three days or so and I only
take a half of a very small dosage pill because it causes me to have severe
cramps. Like Gleevec it also depletes the potassium & magnesium which in
turn causes the cramps. I take supplements but it only helps me maintain
taking the half of pill every 3 days. If I take them (the water pills) any
sooner the cramps and spasms are too painful for me to handle.
Take care and keep up the great work on killing those nasty leukemia cells!

Subject: Eye bleeding-
I have noticed a big red spot in my eye. Is this Gleevec side effect? I
remember few people have complained about this. Can someone tell me if they
had this problem before and what did they take. Thanks
