Hi Chi,

You're post made me laugh (at myself) because a couple of weeks ago I

went through a similar thing. Out of no where, I suddenly developed a

pain in my arm and I thought what on earth is wrong with me. I never

had this type of pain before. After racking my brain to come up with

an explanation, I remembered that two days earlier I shovelled 2 feet

of snow. It took two days for me to feel it but boy did I ever feel it.

Try not to worry about the pills either. Four 100mg pills has the

exact same effectiveness as one 400mg pill. I remember in the " old

days " Gleevec came in 100mg capsules. When they changed over to the

pill format, many of us were a bit superstitious, what if they didn't

work the same we worried, but of course they did. I will say this

though, the side effects were very different when we changed from the

capsules to the pills. MANY of us suddenly had nausea that we never

had before so there was some sort of difference in the tolerability but

the effectiveness was the same.

We all get those " what if's " once in a while but thankfully they do go

away.

Take care,

Tracey
