- Just received my latest PCR results and it's not a pretty picture. The number of copies doubled from 5.7 to 11 during the past three months. Has anyone on the board experienced an increase in the number of copies and how was it handled. Any...
- I've been on Sprycel at various dose levels for nine months and, while it has been effective at reducing the Philadelphia Chromosome, it continues to lower my blood counts, even at the 50mg dose level. (The blood counts are getting to the point...
- I was dx with CML last June and have been on different dosages of Sprycel since then-100mg, 70mg, and now 50mg. All the dosages cause my blood counts to continue to drop, which I understand is normal, but shouldn't they stabilize at some point?...
- Does anyone know if there is a problem in drinking tea or herb tea while on Sprycel? I think I read somewhere that either tea/herb tea could interact with Sprycel and its effectiveness.
- I was dx with CML in June and went through a period of time on 100mg of Sprycel, which I stopped because of edema. Eventually I went back on Sprycel (70mg) and everything was going well for 2 1/2 months until a week ago when the blood counts started...
- I have been on 70mg Sprycel for 4 weeks and my blood counts have become abnormal, with the major concern being the platelet count of 71. I've experienced the same reaction to Sprycel a couple of months ago when I was taking 100mg. Has anyone else...
- I saw the doc. today after not taking Sprycel for two weeks. I had taken Sprycel for three weeks and stopped because I was getting a lot of edema and most of the blood counts had dropped below normal. Today the counts had moved back into the normal...
- I was on Sprycel and doing well for two weeks, then I started having a lot of fluid retention (15 lbs worth) and my Doc suggested stopping Sprycel for a week. After a week without Sprycel all my blood counts were down, many below the normal range....
- I've been on 100mg of Sprycel for three weeks today. The first two weeks went well-my wbc and platelet counts were decreasing into the normal range and the other counts were generally normal. Overall, I felt well with only a few side...
- I was dx w/ CML yesterday and will start on dasatinib in a week. Any info. on side effects, longevity, etc. will be greatly appreciated. The whole thing is new to me and a little offputting.
- I have had some degree of lactose intolerance for the past year and recently noticed that, occasionally, eggs cause the same kind of symptoms. Has anyone else had a problem with eggs? Someone mentioned to me that the shell may be the problem...
- I was diagnosed a year ago with Afib and seemed to handle it well with aspirin and multag for a few months and then nothing. Everything was going well until tax season came, I have a little tax business (a post -retirement thing), and last week the...
- I was diagnosed with A-Fib this past April and have been on Multaq for three months and stopped it this past monday, based on instructions from my cardiologist. Last night and today my BP and BPM were elevated with a high degree of anxiety. I called...
- I've taking multaq for one month and feel an uneasy feeling in my chest like my heart is fluttering. Not sure if this is a side effect of the med or A-Fib. Also feel weak and tired all the time, plus feeling that my heart has missed a beat. I'm...
- For several years I have suffered from panic attacks and recently have been diagnosed with A-Fib. The symptoms are very similar and I'm wondering if its been A-Fib all along. Does anyone else suffer from both diseases?
