Guest guest Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 I was wondering if side effects start right away or are they something that shows up the longer you take Gleevec? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yeah everyone is different. My side effects started to show about a little less than a week on Gleevec. Then they lessened and I thought they were going away then they came back a month later. My main effects were nausea, bone pain, fatigue, and swelling around the eyes. So far the only one that has lessened since is the eye swelling. When the eye swelling first started they would be swelled shut when I woke in the morning and I would have to use Ice packs to bring the swelling down. I looked like I had just gotten out of the ring with Mike Tyson..lol. Now the eye swelling is pretty much the only side effect that has lessened much. As as been said before there are some that have little to no side effects, some have them then they go away or lessen, some have them but they can be managed by other medication, and then some cannot even tolerate Gleevec period. So like Sharon said, and as strange as it sounds it is true. Gleevec effects people differently. On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 12:53 PM, Sharon & Denny <onthewtr@...>wrote: > It is different with everyone!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Well so far I have not noticed any hair loss. I am a 42 male with long hair, that seems to be the only thing that was not effected when I became ill. I grew it out when I got out of the military and tried to become a rock star..lol. I even dyed it black up until last year. I stopped figuring I should not push my luck with my hair. I do believe hair loss can be a side effect but I am not certain. That is the thing, if she is on Gleevec it effects so many people differently it gets hard to tell.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 my already thinning hair did not fall out, but did it lighten up on Gleevec. Even my Onc noticed and commented several times. Never thought I would say this, Sprycell is making me grateful for how good I did not feel on Gleevec. Stopping Gleevec was not about side effects, but loss of effectiveness. I am so miserable on Sprycell. But, tomorrow is another day and am hopeful it will be better than today. Cheers, Chris **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 At the beginning my hair was coming out in gobs, but since I have enough for five people, no one noticed. It used to be straight now it's terribly frizzy. From: terrydailey@... Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 10:08:16 -0500 Subject: Re: [ ] Side Effects Well so far I have not noticed any hair loss.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Terry,'See that is one thing that I really hate! You get side effects and they give you other medications to treat it. I do not believe that taking other medication is good while you are on Gleevec, Sprycel or Tasigna. Of course some people have to I understand that but I think that before I would take other meds to get rid of the side effects I would go off Gleevec and wait two weeks then go onto something else. That is basically what my Doctors did for me. And it worked so far. There is a medication out there that will work for you and so many more in the pipeline .Mixing medications is one of my pet peeves. I saw how my mom died and I truly believe it had a lot to do with all the meds she was taking.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 When I was on Gleevec I lost a lot of hair and all my eyebrows and eyelashes. But when I stopped gleevec it all came back. Although now being on Tasigna my hair is thinning a lot but not like when on Gleevec. At first it came in thicker then about two months ago I noticed it starting to thin. But I think it has now stopped.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 You should be nervous because you don't have any idea what you are getting into. Read Jim Humble's books before you do anything. Diarrhea is not a side effect of MMS. It occurs when there is a herx reaction (die off)... two different things. Go slowly, do your home work, and know what you are doing before you take anything as powerful as MMS. chantal.cote@... wrote: Hello, My brother bought me MMS for treating HIV. After reading several posts and their complaint being diarrhea, I have become quite skeptical. I was due to start tomorrow but I am becoming nervous, seeing that I am very busy during my days. What are the other side effects to worry about? How long will they last? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 You will be fine as you take it and you will be healed. Here is a few sites with info to get you informed. http://projectavalon.net/lang/en/jim_humble_en.html http://www.miraclemineral.org/importantinfo.php http://jimhumble.biz/biz-fundamentals.htm http://jimhumble.biz/biz-hivandaids.htm You cannot overdose as you will get diahrea or/and nausea.
