Hello everyone...
Just a little info before I get into my topic...... I have been on this battle for thirteen years and have taken gleevec (terrible side effects) and spyrcel (stopped responding with little side effects). I have now started Tasigna since July with bearable side effects except weight gain. Weight gain seems to be petty but the issue is I am already overweight and the extra pounds has caused my bloodpressure to rise and my fatigue to increase. I am very uncomfortable and my family has asked me several times "Why are you breathing like that". Has anyone on Tasigna increased in weight like this..... I have gained over ten pounds and can definitely feel the difference and will exercise help if this a side effect
