Hi guys ,ive been taking glivec now for 6 years and my results are great mmr.Ive always had the side effects which hasnt really bothered me as these wonderful drugs are keeping me alive but lately the fatigue has hit me like a tone of bricks and the diarroah has become unbearable ,i know it doesnt sound nice but when i gotta go i really do have to go no matter where i am,i find it very embarasing ,.is anyone else having trouble with there bowels or is it me,ive even thought of having a food intolerance test to c if its something else causing the problem.

I've got exactly the same problem - it's generally worse in the mornings & I feel quite sick with it; It's terrible when you're in the middle of a supermarket!
If you don't mind me asking how old are you?
I'm 43 & have been taking glivec for 5 years - am PCR-U & not too many side effects - have been wondering if severe diarrhea is linked to my hormones? seems to be worse at certain times of the month.
Is much worse when I drink milk & eat salad foods too.
