I've been having a lot more nausea and diarrhea lately, too. I have
also been on Gleevec (400Mgs) for 21/2-3/4 years, now(Dec 3 03) I take
stuff for it at night, sometimes, but mostly I've been riding it out.
Thought I had the flue the other day, too, but it was just another 'Gleevec
day.'

Subject: [CMLHope] Nausea &
Diarreah
Hello everyone:
I've been on Gleevec now for a little
over 2 1/2 years. In the
beginning the nausea & diarreah were
pretty rough, but eventually
leveled off and I adapted. In
fact, barely had any nausea at all.
Well, about a week or so
ago, it's all come back with a vengence. I
was up way in to the
middle of the night last night & thought I was
going to throw up.
I did try some Pepto Bismal earlier in the evening,
but didn't even faze
it. I certainly don't want to be taking any more
prescription
drugs.....so does anyone out there have any other way of
relieving the
nausea. The diarreah, I can handle pretty
much.......just the nausea
is what gets to me right now. Is it usual
for these side effects to come
& go like this? At first, I tought I
had caught a "bug,"
but I am pretty sure it's from the Gleevec.
Thanks for any
help........am sorry to read of those who are having
such a bad time of
it.....and for those who are so young. No one that
young should have
to deal with a disease like CML.
Keep Looking
Up:
