Welcome! I had very few side effects on G and fuzzy, tinny taste wasn't one of them but we are all different when it comes to these drugs.

May I ask, why are you on prednisone?

I had a metalic taste in my mouth a couple of months into taking Gleevec, it went away after a couple of weeks.

With the nausea - make sure you are eating enough food with your Gleevec. I occassionally get nauseous, but find getting out in the fresh air helps, if it gets too bad you can get nausea medication from your doctor.
