Dave,
Something I forgot to mention in my other reply was that gleevec completely changed my appetite also. I completely lost it. I didnt want to eat either and between that the nausea and the diarrhea I lost 85 pounds the first two years after dx, Three months ago I took a round of Medrol Dose pack and its like it flipped a switch and suddenly I was starving. I gained 30 pounds in two months which totally ticked me off (I weighed over 300 pounds at dx) but since the doc had me stop the gleevec for two weeks then restart it my appetite is gone again (thank the good Lord!) and I have lost 7 pounds in the last five days. That is the ONE side effect I have been grateful for. I get tickled at my mom (she will be 70 in Dec.) she will hug me and say honey you are just wasteing away.......I just kinda laugh and say give me a break mom.......I still weigh over 200!!! For years and years every one was constantly on me to stop eating so much, now all I hear is you nee
d to eat....go figure!!!
Hugs,
Katy

Hi Larry,One thing I forgot to add. I don't know if this means anything at all but I'm 67 years old and the color of my urine has changed about the same time that the nausea started.. Let's say that the color rating is from 1 to 8 and (1) being the light side and (8) the darkest. Most people's avg. is no. 4. Mine as changed from 4 to mostly 2 and sometimes 3, now that's odd. And my fluid intake has not changed. My Urologist doesn't seem to be concerned about it. This is my 5th day off Gleevec and I still feel nausea in the morning. If I feel the same Saturday morning I'm going to start back on Gleevec. Their has to be something else wrong. The worst thing is that I do feel like eating at all.Take care,Dave Greenberg
