Hi All,
I've been on 400mg Givec for just over 5 years from my CML. In the last few months my side effects have changed.
The aches and pains have increased in severity and I've been getting what look like blood clots in the veins of my fingers .... Just at the joints. The veins swell up. It's sore for a few minutes and then resolves to a dull ache. The swelling stays for a couple of days though.
Has anybody else had this? My blood counts are all fine. My GP is a little stumped and my haemotologist doesn't seem in interested unless I start bleeding from my eyes!!
Thanks,
Alan.
