Hi all,
We're new to this site.
Jill, my wife, has been on Glivec (Still think of it as STI) since
July 2000. She has had a difficult time of it well before we found out
that she had CML. Head pains and crappy feelings all the time. Her
story can be found on the English site:
http://www.cmlsupport.org.
She has been having all the side effects, some nausea, some cramping,
acid reflux, puffy eyes. She still had the head pains and crappy
feelings even after her PH% went to zero after 11 weeks.
A new doctor (internist) found out two weeks ago that she had low
thyroid output and high trigliceride levels. Medication helped after
three days and she felt better than she had in years.
Thanks for setting up this site Erick. It looks like it will be good
for those on Glivec.
Richard and Jill
