Thanks Tracey, I'll keep that in mind. Like I said I used to get migranes so I

wouldn't be surprised.

[ ] Re: sensativity to light/headaches with gleevec

Hi ,

It sounds like you might be having ocular migraines. I had a

simillar experience a few months ago where I actually went

completely blind in a part of my field of vision in one eye but it

cleared up after 30 mins. How long do your episodes last?

I personally don't think it has anything to do with Gleevec or CML

since many people in the general population have these problems but

it's always good to mention it to your doctor.

When I had my episode, my doctor sent me for a carotid doplar

(ultrasound of the carotid arteries) to make sure the artery wasn't

narrowing or blocked. Everything was fine so they assume it was

just an unusual ocular migraine (which I never had in my life but

there's a first time for everything right?)

Take care,

Tracey
