On Imatinib 100mg down from 400mg, constant headaches, body itching and slight swelling of right arm, pins and needles in right foot. Only started treatment in last couple of weeks on reduced mg, will side effects ease?

Hello and thanks for posting,
I can't tell you if these symptoms will ease or not. I would try and contact your hospital team/ clinical nurse specialist to ask them about this, particularly as they are new persistent symptoms to see what they suggest. They may review the dosage again.
I hope that you get this sorted out soon,
Best wishes,
