When I had PE several times I was on diuretics after they found it. Doctor had me take diuretics for a some time when on sprycel. It does reduce the fluid. It was just a prolonged problem and doctor did not like reducing or stopping the sprycel that often. So now I am off it, and on Bosulif now. Had great numbers on sprycel! Jeff
