Also - for those of you who are curious - my 'eye bags' have already returned!!! So much for losing the periorbital edema Barb, what does your oncologist say about splitting the dose? I don't think it's a bad thing to work your way back up, that's a hefty dose at 800! Anyway, I know just how you feel. When I start back up on my dose I cannot keep it down either, so I asked for some Compazine. It really helps me, though it does make me sleepy. I find that I have to use it a lot lately, sometimes my body rejects the Gleevec for days.....I find especially if I am overtired and stressed out I cannot keep it down. I had a bad morning today and could not keep my dose in, so I have to start tomorrow. I'll say a prayer for you that it goes smoother this time, I hope you feel better by the end of the week. I started taking the Bilberry extract again and it really helps with my Gleevec eyes. I also recommend asking about the anti-nausea med. God Bless and I will be praying for you! love, Lynne A.
