Yes....mine flares up from time to time and the only explanation I ever get is the scar tissue on my spleen.
Diagnosed in September 2011. Tried one year of Sprycel. Had great response. Became undetectable in a few months. Changed to Tasigna hoping for less side effects. Self medicated myself down to 20% dose and held for 3 years before becoming detectable again. It has been a journey that has helped me realize what life is about! I am all about a balanced life. I firmly agree with my decision to lower my dose. What is life if you aren't living? Mine will never be the way it was, but it is going to be as good as I can make it! Drs PRACTICE medicine, we can guide our dr to help us with a better life! Don't settle until it's acceptable to you!

I was fine for a long time but I have been working on building a storage shed. It requires a lot climbing and lifting. It has caused my spleen all kinds of grief. I have had to slow down and limit the amount of time I work on it. I was told it was scar tissue. My spleen at diagnosis was huge.
