Some of my issues related to the Gleevec (I believe) show up as some GI (loose stools, diarrhea, urgency), fatigue, blurry vision, and possibly some sinus pain/pressure. Symptoms for the most part are manageable. I feel very fortunate that the medication is available to me and has helped in keeping the CML in check. We’ll be having a checkup in a few days to see how things are looking.

I’m with ya being fortunate having something to keep CML in check. Sorting out side effects from life changes took me a while and a lot of conversation with my doctors. At least for me with the Sprycel I have some random GI issues( diarrhea and nausea), headaches are kinda sporadic but not as bad as when I first started on it. Fatigue, muscle/bone pain, and my body temp seem to fluctuate a lot seem to be the most consistent side effects. I’m 46 and haven’t had a spleen in over 20 years either.
