Guest guest Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hey all- I was wondering if anyone is experiencing this.....I have very dry skin and it is very sensitive with the meds from CML. What is happening is if I get hot or start to sweat, my skin starts burning. I really notice this over my face. Of course, it is worse outside but I can be simply doing housework and start just getting hot and my face will burn. If I go outside in the sun, within 5 minutes I have splotches of red patches on me. Now, I must say I am a red head and fair skin but it was never like it is now. I mean even in the shower if the water is too warm, my skin turns bright red. I am very nervous what this summer will bring. We are going to a cardinals baseball game and my hubby went to the store and bought me a hat, sunblock and a mens workout short that is long sleeve so that I wont burn. It sucks that I have to wear a long sleeve shirt when I'd like to be wearing a tank top like everyone else but I cant afford the sunburn or the sun poisoning. Was wondering if it is all CML med related or if some could be from hormonal. It is definitely worse over the last year or so. And seems to be worse on Syprcel then it was on Gleevec.......... Just wondering........... Hugs and Hope- 36 CML 5/13/05 Gleevec 800mg until 8/07 Spyrcel 100 mg since 9/07 Wife and mother of 3 (12,9,7) # 907 in Zavie's Zero Club **************Need a new ride?
