HI Jocelyn, I did get a significant red rash all over my face as well as lesser on most of my body. The intensity was greater or lesser based upon the dose I was taking. I dont' know if I would call it flushing..but I had redness and a significant rash. It got a bit better with some over the counter aids...Hope this helps..good luck to you!!!! and please keep your doc informed regarding any side effects you may experience...

Has anyone experienced intense deep red facial flushing with Tasigna? If so, does it get any better? Thanks!

Richard, I am so happy you can bring your wife home! And Susan, I will keep you and Jeannie and Marty and Richard and Greenie and everyone else whose names I cannot think of this moment ( chemo brain:) ), in my prayers... I had a rough ride...did not make it to Florida, stuck with a kidney infection and kidney stone in Chicago, then, after ultra sounds and two MRI"s, three trips to the hospital..of course I caught something there..had the flu for the last week plus...so, finally starting to feel better...sat down and I have another 1100 emails to sift through since the last time I was online..... so sad to have missed you and your wife Greenie, but hope to get down there this winter some time...in the mean time..I hope you and your sweetie are taking good care and enjoying nice weather...Chicago has been so mild up until now...now ice storm, and then 4-7 inches of snow tomorrow on top of it....I am still off any work until next Monday so I hope to regroup...and get better this week... I think of all of you so often and hope this is a good health year for all of us. I have been of sprycel for 6 weeks now, but Bcr Abl showed it's return at 5 weeks off...so on Friday I restart. It has definitely been good for my body and soul, the break, working on getting the cpk down with steroids in the hope that I can build back muscle if we can just get it down and keep it down....still have a lot of pain in my body..but other than that..no complaints....happy to be here.. my best wishes, 18's and big hugs all around. You all are the best, my CML family. love, Beth -----Original Message----- From: 'Susan Zimmerman' via CMLHope <[email protected]> To: cmlhope <[email protected]> Sent: Mon, Dec 28, 2015 1:37 pm Subject: Re: [CMLHope] Re: Merry Christmas and happy Hilidays Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you, ALL!!! This was the best Christmas I can remember, as both my adult children and their families were in attendance. It made the celebration wonderful with a 7 and a 4 yr old (grandkids). I will be recuperating for a few days since they left yesterday. Both my husband and I hit the sheets for a nap the minute they left! Wouldn't trade it for the world. Was not sure if I had stroke symptoms or a sugar overload on Saturday after a big party. Double vision and near-vomiting for over three hours. Took off my mono contacts after the LOOONNG ride home and in half an hour was fine. Ten days before that I had doubled my dose of bosulif. Now not sure whether to keep on two a day or cut back to one a day again. Stroke is not worth the medicine. I'll test it again and see.....prayers appreciated. 18's and Enjoy every day, Susan F.
