Is there any correlation between our weight vs. our dosage? I recently lost 20 pounds (on purpose, not because of CML, but because I needed to). I developed a bad skin rash and wondering if dosage can be too strong at any point.
Weight/BMI vs. dosage?

If you needed to lose the weight, there is no correlation.
Said another way, the correlation would be dosage per ml of blood, not per gram of fat.
But a loss of lipids could increase skin sensitivity and rashes.

Some people just drop the "et" from "asset". I never knew that was what it meant, so thanks.
