wonderful news on puffy eyes

[Guest guest]

Hi Martha and all,

I know just what you are talking about.

I would look in the mirror and wonder who that lady was with the tadpole

eyes staring back at me.

Right before I went off Gleevec, they got so bad I couldn't believe it.

But now, after 18 days on Tasigna, my eyes are back to normal.

One good thing right???

Hang in there Martha, things will get better.

Blessings

I have been on 600mg since being DX and at present PCRU

Teary eyes - now have gone however had these for a year.

Had terrible bone pain this year again has gone

2008 year of the bleed-out - with a hysterectomy as the outcome.

Rashes are my bugbear - and an assortment of all different types - all non

itchy

Eye Odeama - that is just normal for me now - tadpole eyes in the morning

and by the time 8.00pm in the evening eyes and face A-OK

I also still experience fatigue - by about 2.30 - 3.00 in the afternoon I

stated to wane

and skin is now becoming paler in colour and I burn more easily

I seem to bleed more when cut - faster flow lately

Took nearly a year to work out that I had become a type of lactose

intolerant - so since not having any

dairy for at least 5 hours each side of taking medication no longer vomit,

feel queesy etc.

I am on a Salt Skip Program SSP www.saltmatters.I am on a Salt Skip Program

SSP www.saltmatters.<WBR>org which

100mg - 2 weeks - did not have any side effects

200mg - 2 weeks - I found the worst side effects I ever felt was on 200mg

(go figure)

400mg for a month - slight side effects

600mg ever since - I have had across the range side effects but in the last

month or so have felt very well even though I am still experincing side

effects.
