Re: joint pain and fatique

[Guest guest]

Hi Carolyn

I am on Sprycel 20mg myself and I called my Dr. yesterday because I am

experiencing the exact same things. My joints have been really been bothering

me and I have been sleeping a lot since I started the Sprycel. I spoke with his

assistant and waiting on a reply from my dr. I have tried Gleevec and Sprycel,

and having problems tolerating both.

Dear Group

I have been on Sprycel with wonderful results since August. I am

experiencing joint pain and fatique. Am wondering if any of you

experience this. This could also be be a left over from a bout with

the shingles. That was just a little insult to injury - no fun. My

onocologist told be to be sure to drink enough. He suggested Gatorade.

Any feed back would be appreciated

Hi Carolyn,

I too take Sprycel and am doing wonderfully well. However, I sleep a lot and

just a few days ago a thyroid test revealed that my " numbers " whatever they are

called for Thyroid are way out of whack. So I see an endocrinologist on Monday.

But m,y onc as seen the test results and thinks I'll probably just get a common

drug used for thyroid conditions like mine. So, you could get a thyroid test

(blood). As fopr joint pain, I get it once in awhile and use topical treatments

(OTC) or use those OTC patches that have topical icy hot goo soaked into them.

They last about 8 hours and do work. There are some other products on the

market that are basically supplements and I do know that a combination of MSM,

glucosamine sulfate and another ingredient I've forgotten now does help. If you

go to a supplement store where the staff knows what they're talking about this

might help.

Good luck,
