Hi,

I am going on day 4 of an eye bleed and this on e has been painful.  I experienced these with both Gleevec and now with Tasigna.  I do not take fish oil which I understand can be a contributing factor.  As a matter of fact, I have taken nothing in addition to the Tasigna in weeks.  Help!

Maybe you could try cooling it down with with an icepack but not too much.

Trey,

Thanks for the reply.  I tried a cold compress without success.

Hi:  I do not know how bad your eyebleed is.  Mine was pretty bad when I had it years ago.  I know it took me over a week to start to see any clearing.  I had some discomfort, but not bad pain.  If it does not clear up, then I would call your doctor for some ideas of what to do.  Mine was with Gleevec, as its the only TKI I have taken.  I had 3 of them a couple of months in between each one.  Then they stopped.  Hope you get some relief soon.
