Hi everyone,
I'm after some advice or maybe reassurance.
I've been on imatinib since early Feb. In that time I've had solid tablets and capsules that dissolve. Both pill types have given me a host of side-effects - stomach pain, increased fibroid pain, swelling legs, hair thinning and itchy skin.
4 weeks ago I started back on the capsules and I am struggling with just how low I feel. Some days I feel miserable - like a black cloud hanging over me every day. The slightest ache or stomach pain and I spiral into negative thoughts and anxiety too.
I find this difficult because usually I'm an upbeat person.
Has anyone experienced such feelings whilst specifically taking TKIs?
Thanks
