PLEASE READ THIS QUESTION!!! Who Has/got A Terrible All Rash All Over Their Body!!
My 1st phase of feeling bad with CML was bruises, not sleeping, really dizzy

I can deal with not sleeping, being super dizzy, not being able to remember anything, not being able to eat etc. BUT, the rash has tormented me for 5 months. I'm pretty tough, and keep focused, but this is beyond description! I was put on steroids, but told I can't stay on them.

One Imatinib side-effect can be a Herpes Zoster rash. My wife Joannie had one all over her body. Talk with your doctor ASAP and have it tested. Very uncomfortable and it can easily spread it is viral.
Three is an anti viral pill that can be taken Zovirex (also now a generic).
Good luck let me know how you are doing. Feel ferris to call or join one of our Zoom meetings.
One of the side-effects of CML treatment can be Herpes Zoster viral outbreak. My wife has this as an ongoing periodic reoccurring issue. There is a drug called Zovirex (and a generic) to manage this viral condition.
Talk to your doctor and have them test for it. It can spread quickly and become very uncomfotable so take care with your towels and wash cloths.
Feel free to call Joannie or join one of our Zoom meetings.
