Headache with Imatinib

Categories:

Hi,
Hope every one will be in good state of mind and health,
My question is , if there is any relation between CML and headache.
Actually i am suffering mild headaches time to time , these days.
Please guide me what to do.
Regards

I drink 2 litres of water a day, and barely have a headache.  Before I was diagnosed I used to suffer all the time with headaches but I think the water intake has made all the difference.  I'm on imatinib and have been for almost 2 years.  I hope you manage to sort this out, it's miserable having headaches.

Thnks. It will be helpful for me.
Regards

Thanks for the info. Btw, do you know any meds that can help me get rid of my migraines?

Hello,
I used to (for many years) suffer from migraines several times a month. Since I was diagnosed with CML 5 months ago I cut out all sweets from my diet and started exercising 3-4 times a week. I have literally not had a migraine in 5 months. The change was so drastic I even wondered if it was the imatinib that was preventing the migraines, but from what I can tell it is the change in diet/ exercise. I'm sure this won't work for everyone but it's worth a try!
