Suzie,
I had a simliar experience with Gleevec. I have been on it since April 04 and around late June nearly all of my side effects had leveled off, and I tried to go back to my job. Well to make a long story short, they came back. The nausea, diarreah(in my house the bath room doors are vaccumed sealed..hehehehe. just kidding) fatigue, and bone and muscle pain all came back. About the only one that has maintained a level, is the eye swelling, that rarely occurs anymore. The nausea is now around almost on a daily basis, along with the others...Check with your doc, but for me nearly the exact same thing happened. It was almost like the Gleevec was pulling a fast one on me or something..hehe. But it still is keeping me in remission, so I can't complain. Take Care,
 
Terry

Hello everyone:
I've been on Gleevec now for a little over 2 1/2 years.  In the
beginning the nausea & diarreah were pretty rough,  but eventually
leveled off and I adapted.  In fact,  barely had any nausea at all.
Well, about a week or so ago,  it's all come back with a vengence.  I
was up way in to the middle of the night last night & thought I was
going to throw up.  I did try some Pepto Bismal earlier in the evening,
but didn't even faze it.  I certainly don't want to be taking any more
prescription drugs.....so does anyone out there have any other way of
relieving the nausea.  The diarreah, I can handle pretty
much.......just the nausea is what gets to me right now. Is it usual
for these side effects to come & go like this?   At first, I tought I
had caught a "bug," but I am pretty sure it's from the Gleevec.

Thanks for any help........am sorry to read of those who are having
such a bad time of it.....and for those who are so young.  No one that
young should have to deal with a disease like CML.

Keep Looking Up:
Suzieq
