Hi ray and all, I have the same hallucinations others talk about, plus one nobody's mentioned (I think): tactile delusions, in which, say, tile grouting morphs into wavy strings I “feel” when I reach out to "touch" them. That lasts a nanosecond and then the illusion's gone. It’s only happened a few Times. I did a little reading up on Tasigna. They appear to be going ahead at Georgetown. The study is fully Enrolled. I Imaginethere are lots of Issues to be worked out. First things first.
