I take Brukinsa too. What side effects do you have, and how do you manage them? I bruise extremely easily, have dry skin, nails and eyes.
Also petechiae on my leg. I am lucky to not have any fatigue.

I've been on Brukinsa since June'24. No side effects so far. I take 2 pills twice a day & generally have at least something little to eat (7:30am/5:30pm). I drink tea throughout the day. I have noticed I am slightly more prone to bruising. A lot more likely to be sick longer – but that's a CLL side effect. Most of my non-CLL stats are pretty much ok. The only other drug I am on is a low dose statin - just thinking about other drug interactions you might have. I'm not sure anyone knows why we all end up with different symptoms from any drug...

I hope this helps!
