Re: Re: Light headed from Gleevec?

[Guest guest]

Say, as I am listening to this talk re light-headed/dizziness, I am beginning to

wonder if that is what has been going on with me. I recently went through a

whole battery of testing, neurology included, because of severe dizziness to

the point of vomiting. The consensus was vestibular migraine. I am wondering,

however, if the Gleevec could be what is setting it off, cyclically, as with the

other side effects.

Any thoughts on this??

Hi

I had about 6 weeks of dizziness about a month ago. The room would spin

crazily and I couldn't drive for the whole period. The Doc diagnosed excess

fluid around my middle ear probably due to the oedema from the Gleevec.

Glad to say it has gone. I would get it checked out though.
