Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Hi lynn, im sorry to hear about your side effects. I too have bad side effects, vomiting, diareah and constant aches in my joints. I was on 800mg for two years with very servere side effects and then they took me down to 600mg as i finished trials. My doctor use to be a bit blazae about my side effects but just this last few months he has now gained symperphy. Not sure just where my results sit only he spoke to me the other day and said they are up and down since comming off 800mg last october. He is gonna see what happends with my results in august to whether he puts me back on 800mg. Im not happy with that but what else can we do. I too am very greatfull for Gleevec, it is the wonder drug of the 2000 and when you say you now say you can have life but feel like crap I do understand. There is a new drug out he says but it just dosnt seem i can go onto that till maybe next year. I wish you well and I hope you find relief in your side effects from Gleevec and if you find any...please pass it on... thanks..

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thanks for sharing this Zavie. I had no idea this many skin conditions even existed, let alone that they could all be brought on by Gleevec. I'm tempted to look each condition up just for curiosity but it would probably take me forever to do so.....maybe one day when I'm bored and looking for something to do Tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
