Just finished 1st week of Tasigna

[Guest guest]

Need some feedback.  Started Tasigna Sat and all fine until Monday.  Don't know

if it was medicine or a bug, but it was like somone drained all the energy

physical and mental and I spent Monday-Friday hardly able to get out of the bed

and had no appetite.  Saturday morning woke up feeling great, but my scalp feels

as if it's burned and I can hardly stand to put my fingers through my hair.  The

pain seems to be where the scalp meet the root of the hair shaft.  You know when

you have a chill and your body turns into a chill bump - well when it hit the

scalp I had to " yep " a little - only lasted a second, but???  It's a real treat

to try and wash hair - have to just let water run over it and not scrub as

usual.

Still get a twitch of a headache in my right cheek when I lie down.  PA at

Houston gone Friday so didn't get any feeback from her.

My counts were doing great on Gleevec but I was sleeping my life away and Dr.

says shouldn't have that problem with Tasigna. 

Any feedback would be appreciated. 

Thanks
