Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Janice- I was so relieved to see your email. I have been complaining of this for 2 1/2 years...... I think my doctors have given up on this and think I am wacky. Which I may be! I have been on Gleevec since May of 2005. I have had a " swooshing " sound in my right ear since about August of 2005. It is my heart beat and was VERY bothersome at first, I think I have learned to just :live with it " now. I do have it a majority of the time and have told the MD's about it. They usually shrug it off to fluid build up and nothing worrisome. It is more of a nuisance then anything. Sometimes its hard to concentrate because of it and sometimes its hard to fall a sleep because of the constant swooshing. I am glad to see that someone else has this and I am not alone in my crazy symptoms..... I seem to have them all. Let me know if your hair changes colors. Mine did and they have no explanation for that one too! 35 CML 5/13/05 Gleevec 800mg (Currently on hold for stem cell harvest X 5 days) Wife and mother of 3 (11,8,6) ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
