Fatigue & taking Gleevec AM or PM

[Guest guest]

Many thanks to all who responded to my question re time of day to take gleevec.

I seldom have trouble with nausea -- I take my gleevec with plain fat free

yogurt and this

works best for me. But my fatigue has worsened over the years. We are all

different,

and I'm thrilled for those of you for whom the side effects have lessened.

Not so with my

fatigue.

For the past couple of days I've switched to taking gleevec mid afternoon. I

do think that I

feel a bit better this way -- and have the morning and part of the afternoon

with a wee bit

more energy. Not the energy I had pre-CML, but that's just the way it is.

And I don't

want to lose sight of the fact that I'm alive!

I also want to say 'welcome' to new members. Welcome to the club that no one

wanted to

join. That said, we are blessed with this group -- and with the drugs.

peace,

Kathy
