Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi , I was taking Gleevec 5 years ago and experienced the same fatigue. It's miserable to be so tired. I had to take a leave of absence from my job for a year. Then Gleevec stopped working for me and I was switched to another trial. The fatigue has finally gone away. I'm in the HHT trial and it doesn't really have any short term side effects. It will be two years in April that I started it. I guess if Gleevec is working against your cml, it's great. But I do understand your frustration with fatigue. I hope it is short term and subsides for you soon. God Bless, Jackie Schneider 48 yrs. old From: Rosen Lum <rrosenlum@...> Subject: [ ] That blasted fatigue! Date: Saturday, January 24, 2009, 8:33 PM Folks, is there anything we can do or take to combat that " gleevec fatigue " that renders us unconscious for so many hours of our lives?

Between fatigue and all the other side effects I gave up looking for a solution. I could be doing something, and I get so weak and tired. I just put whatever I am doing off to another day. I have learned that whatever it is, like housework. It will still be there waiting for me. Its 10 years now, so its just become part of my everyday life. I sit down to watch a tv show, and I am out like a light in 10 minutes sometimes. Guess we just have to accept it, if its doing its job. > _________________________________________________________________ > Windows Live™ Hotmail®:…more than just e-mail. > http://windowslive.com/explore? ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t2_hm_justgotbetter_explore_012009 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Granny takes her Gleevec at night after she has eaten. But, she stays tired also. She is on 400 mg. She has had a hard time trying to keep from throwing the Gleevec back up. In the last couple of days she has discovered that she can handle half a pill at a time better. [ ] That blasted fatigue!

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Yes, I too had " Gleevec fatigue " when I wsas taking my 400mg with my meal. After I complained to ONC we started all the supplements with little progress. I then discussed it again when I had to have transfusions for low blood counts. It was determined that I had Iron Deficent Anemia. The transfusions helped some, but most of the fatigue went away when I went on vacation. I had to resume Gleevec 400mg and the fatigue returned within a week. Six months later, I had to have another transfusion, so stopped taking the Gleevec and began taking Procrit. Five months later my blood counts were all normal except hmg which was at 11. Two ONCs recommended that I remain on Gleevec Vacation and stop the Procrit treatment. My monthly CBCs remain at an acceptable level and in Feb. I will have my quarterly PCR to see if I remain negative. If so, I will remain on Vacation until I have a definate positive PCR (Probably 2 as I have had a false-positive the last time). At that time, I will begin the Gleevec, and as soon as my CBC counts go down below 9 I will start the Procrit treatment to see if the combination works. I would talk to my ONC to see if you need to do more to help control the Hg and red blood cell counts. My energy level the highest that it has been since I began taking Gleevec in Mar. 2003.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I am on glivec (600mg) dose Fatique - well can drop you flat As I think stated - you can do some task - exercise - event etc and it may very well knock you out for 2 days. I found this in the early stages of glivec and as the medication started to work - the fatigue has become less. I am PCRU However I had to make a decision for me of a Fatique Management Strategy to Balance ones life I have a diary - so I know that by the end of the week I actually start to feel fatique coming on. I have been extremely fortunate to have a family ethic culture written into policy where I work. So I have been able to reduce my work hours both in days and time start and finish. So I now work a 7 day fortnight - start at 7am and finish at 3pm and do not have a lunch hour. It takes me some 1 - 1 1/2 hours travelling time - car, train, so I have a nap on the train. I no longer ride my horses every day - and have had to lease and sell some of my buddies but that is a good trade off. I have two 4 legged pets at home. That has reduced quite alot of tiredness. Work around property - well I can do that on days off at my own pace. So I have a 2 hour time schedule - start very early - do one chore - and not finished in 2 hours then I stop. Then continue the next day. Eat sensibily Glivec is recommended to have a diet of low sodium or watch your sodium intake. This also has a considerable effect on fatique I have found. I eat with the regime of Salt Skip Program (SSP) - www.saltmatters.org and have a lot of recipes from an website known as www.megaheart.com I can hear the girls and Zavie say but what happened at Christmas to New Year - I did not have to time to get fatiqued too busy partying - and my waist line has proved the point so my resolution is to get back into a routine - everyone who is putting on the pud - should join the LosingWeightwithCML - great support group. Keep Hydrated Have an interest outside of your family and outside of the house - be that be volunteer or community work ; study ; book club ; craft or what ever - taking your interest away from being self absorbed - gives one energy - you do not have to do alot of stuff but giving back to the community is a great thing to do - someone I know was just watering plants at a charity garden nursery for 1 hour a week - and the difference it made to that person was amazing. I myself do heaps of community work as part of a locality group within our rural area. Exercise - walk if nothing else at least 30 - 40 minutes a day quite fast so that you are finding it hard to speak when walking. Take your dogs or family with you. Even if your break it up at 10 minute walks thru the day. It does help. Learn to say NO and learn to know when to stop - and very importantly learn to listen to that inner voice you have that tells you about your body clock. Summary - I have had to make some practical common sense decisions to overcome fatique but also to manage my life within the limits of CML I have a great life - so if you can just make a few simple changes; you may find that this may support your tiredness If fatigue is the only side effect - not a bad trade-off - I have a list of side effects if anyone wants to compare.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 and Sue, I can relate quite well to the fatigue issue, as I, too, am hampered by fatigue. I do work 3 hours per day, but find it nearly impossible to get through a day without a 1-2.5 hour nap in the early afternoon. Hemoglobin, of course, is low, and at the borderline for needing Procrit, but both my onc and I agree that unless my hemoglobin stays below 10, no Procrit. Sue, what wonderful suggestions for dealing with fatigue. Thank you, both, for posting.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have only one thing to say. Have you all had your vit. D checked? Mine was low and t hey put me on a huge does of D once a week. I have been on it for 5 weeks and I am not tired at all anymore. Oh yest I do when I ove r do like anyone else. But I really think it helped. It doesn't hurt to have yout D checked. Low Vit D can cause many serious problems. Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Hi, Kristie. Has your Granny ever tried an anti-nausea medication? I'm also one of those who could never keep Gleevec down. Without compazine, it comes up like clockwork, about 45 minutes after I swallow it -- and so violently that it breaks the blood vessels around my eyes. (Sorry to be so graphic). I just swallow a compazine 30 minutes before my Gleevec, and it does a pretty good job of heading off the nausea. Warm regards. > > Granny takes her Gleevec at night after she has eaten.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I also take it at night, after dinner. I still suffer from fatigue, after almost 4 years on Gleevec (well, it will be 4 years in May). Doesn't matter what time of day or night I take it -- I still sleep a lot. Before CML, I used to get by on 5 or 6 hours of sleep. Now it's double that.

I think most people would frown upon an employee who disappeared for a three-hour nap every day!! > > > From: paulorkay@... > Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 18:38:29 -0800 > Subject: [ ] That blasted fatigue! > > Hi : You actually made me feel good with your comment. I was starting to think I was nuts. I am good in the morning. As a matter of fact my husband is not a morning person. He asks me how I could talk so much as soon as I get up. When I get up I am wide awake. By afternoon I can not function unless I make time to doze off for what I think is awhile. I will awake, and the whole house is dark. I have slept for hours, not catnaps. I have been on Gleevec since 2000,and I always eat a good breakfast and take my medication all together. All my pills are once a day. If I eat enough, I do not get the nausea. Our dinner time varies, therefore, I do not want to take my meds at night. It was actually a relief to see how many people are going through this with me.
