I have been on Tasigna for 7 days. Yesterday I got a horrible stomach-ache and have had it since. I feel a little cold and achy. I'm wondering if I am really sick or if this is just the Tasigna? I sure hope it isn't because nothing I do will make the pain go away. I have pain in the pit of my stomach.

Whether Tasigna-related or a bug of some sort,since you are just starting on the drug, your physician will want to be aware of any possible side effects at this stage of only 7 days, so if symptoms are not improving, you should call your physician. Fluids are important while on this drug. Keep in touch and I hope you feel better !!!
