I meant to write that 1% of people who switched to Sprycel reported a

weigh gain of more than 20% of their baseline weight in the time after

switching to Sprycel.

I'm on 100 mg a day now...I was on 70mg twice a day, but the headaches were

killing me, I could not function! The doctor thought that I might have about 5

lbs of fluid, but did not think the 20 pound gain was due to the medication. So

I asked him how many CML patients he had on Sprycel and he said I was the only

one, so that tells me that he does not have a lot of experience with the side

effects of this drug other than what the clinical trials published. That's why

I love these support groups, we are the ones living with this stuff and it's

great to be able to share our stories, problems, accomplishments!
