Hello all,
I have been on tasigna for 15 days, (lowest dose) and yesterday a problem came up. This after being off all medication for over six years due to a couple of brain bleeds while on gleevec. (diagnosed Feb. 2005). So....yesterday my eyes crossed for about a minute - an hour after I took my tasigna. Also my right hand is tingly. Also a slight headache deep inside brain. Called doc, his advice was to stay off medication for one week and start again. Any thoughts? You should also know that I had a hemorrhagic stroke 3 years ago which left my left side tingly and numb permanently. I do have good strength in it, praise the Lord. During the stroke and for 3 months following my right eye refused to track with the other eye. Thank God it was restored. I have cavernous malformations on my brain and until today the docs all thought it was just the cavernous malformations that caused the brain bleeds. My original decision that the medicine exacerbated the brain bleeds and stroke appears to have been correct, regardless of what the docs said. So we have to listen to our own bodies! Now I am really unsure what the future holds, but I know I am in His hands! 18's, Susan F. Zimmerman -----Original Message----- From: C.M.

I will take one day at a time, and hope for the best. I've been taking it easy today, as that was my instructions from the doctor. I might even take tomorrow off too.....My son, Christopher, helps me so much and I am blessed with having this wonderful son in my life. God has his reasons for everything and he gave me Chris for this time in my life. I don't know if I ever told you that he was my daughter's son. She was killed in a car accident before he was two and has always been with me as she was in the process of divorcing her husband. He didn't want him, so I fought to keep him and have never regretted it. He's brought me nothing but joy. In his eyes, and heart, I am his MOM....and I feel the same about him. My other sons accepted him as a brother from the start, so we are so fortunate in so many ways. I'll keep you up on the results. You and your wife enjoy your stay in PA. I hope only the best for you. 18's back to you, Many hugs too, Millie -- -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
