I'm noticing that I'm catching bugs more often, and feel sicker with them than before CML. Definitely taking longer to get well. Currently have a cold, and the GI problems flared. Back to muscle aches and weakness. It's like I'm tolerating the TKI side effects better but when I'm ill, they all come roaring back. Normal life span, not normal life.
