Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Hi, my name is susie and i was diagnosed with cml november 2002. I know we have to be thankful for Gleevec but please can I talk to someone with servere vomiting, diarreah and the joint aches are unbearable. Im on 600 of Gleevec (was on 800 until trial finished october 2004) 10 sickness tabs a day and im on upto 10 pain killers aday. Somedays I just dont verture out from my house due to bathroom reasons and i end up in my bed with my electric blanket on three to help me cope with the joint ache. Many times I walk and feel like a 60 year old due to joint ache and im only 41 . I also visit the shower or bath many times through the night just to leaviate pain.. please someone talk to me....Please don't get me wrong I am thankful for Gleevec but does someone know of other drugs that I can take as well as just to give me a little bit of quality of life....talk to me....
