Hi Barb, So sorry you are having those bad side effects. It seems no matter what we are on, it is chemo, and we are going to have the side effects. My counts dropped so low I had to be taken off Tasigna after 1 month on treatment; I am now back on the full 800 mgs daily. I had itching really bad at first, especially the scalp, now I have a light rash on my legs. It seems to go from one thing to another. I have also developed some side pain, but it comes and goes. It seems my ribs are sore. My hemg dropped to 7.9 last week, so if it hasn't come back up this week, I will have to have blood. How are your counts? Keep fighting; we just have to manage these side effects the best we can; it gets hard. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 11/30/2008 8:56:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Jeannie, You may not want to hear it. I am beginning to develop the side effects, slowly, that go with the drug and some that were of gleevec. I have had painful fluid retention in the joints ( plural joint effusion) and cramping in the hands and feet. I have vertigo ( usually positional) and also, headaches, insomnia, fatigue, and such. I guess no matter what drug I take, I will have these symptoms. I will say they are milder than before, but seem to be getting worse. And I am on 400 mg, the absolute minimal dose. How are you Jeanie? Blessings Barb **************Life should be easier. So should your homepage. Try the NEW AOL.com.
