Hello.
I have been on Imatinib the last 8 years (give or take a few months) and i am now starting Sprycel due to stomach issues, and a bit above normal kidney values.
I am staring 50mg yesterday, and i hope its enough to keep my CML in check.
The first day i had some bad headaches, tinnitus flaired up again, and some (not too bad) bone/muscle pain.
I am wondering if it is because i am coming off the Imatinib (had a 2 day break before staring Sprycel), or because of the sprycel, and i am also wondering which pain releivers are okay to take with Sprycel. Today i started a magnesium supplement with Magnesium Lactate and Citrate.
I am also a bit freaked out about the change of TKI, if it will work and side effects etc. Hope that the anxiety subsides after a few blood tests as it did with Imatinib.
