Hi Tom, and glad you got on Sprycel after not being able to take the other 2. I haven't had any fluid buildup so far; I'm going not my 4th month on Sprycel. Had bad headaches but they have gotten better. I take mine in the morning with breakfast and haven't had the nausea. Good luck Jeanie<3 In a message dated 10/22/2009 4:40:48 P.M.

Hi Lenda/Jeanie...I is nice to find someone in the same boat...I have just started Sprycel (3 days ago) after finding that Tasigna and Gleevec were toxic to me. I am on 100mg and have headaches and some nausea....but they are not too bad. I was diagnosed in Dec, '08 and was started on Tasigna first in a trial at MD Anderson. Switched to Gleevec when I developed acute pancreatitis...then had to stop Gleevec because of severe rash. My latest PCR from the bone marrow aspiration was 0.05 and my blood counts are relatively normal. Did either of you experience fluid build up or low counts? I was also wondering about alcohol. I couldn't have any on the Tasigna but didn't not see any warnings for the Sprycel. I miss my daily glass of wine with my wife! Anyway, nice to be connected as we ride this train of life in the same car!
