Sprycel problems, rash......

[Guest guest]

Hey all-

I was wondering if anyone on Spyrcel or that has been on Spyrcel could offer

some advice.....

I have been on it since September 07 and I am having some issues and

wondering if this is Spyrcel related.

About a week ago I developed a rashy thing on the left temporal side of my

face. It is small bumps in a red patchy area that itches like crazy and the

more I itch the more it burns. It seems to come and go in severity but has

never disappeared.....

Also, I am having gastro issues. I am bloated (look 4-5 months pregnant)

and having gassy, small loose stool with fluid). What a nice picture this is

painting for ya, sorry about being so specific/graphic.

I also have the usual extreme fatigue, muscle aches, sweating like crazy

with any activity, itching, scalp hurts but the gastro and rash thing is really

bothersome. Any ideas/suggestion?

I am on 100mg daily that I take at bedtime without any problems. If I wake

up during the night I am having muscle and bone pain but nothing else really.

Is a rash common with this drug? I know it was with Gleevec....

Hugs and Hope-
