Guest guest Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hello and tasi buddies I have had no colds, flu or illnesses of any king. My immune system is strong. In fact, since beginning tasigna, all my counts, CBC, CMP are in the normal range for the first time since diagnosis. It is the first time I do not show anemia of some kind. I will tell you I have acquired now, a sinitus that I didn't have before. I need Nasonex every morning. On occasion I do have a cough that feels like light bronchitis. But it is minimal and does not bother me. Sorry you have been sick .
