Dolow Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT i forgot to add he does have hyperglycemia and is  on a sliding scale of insulin , and lipitor for elevated cholestrol, but if the drug works he will just keep taking the meds for the problems, its the good outweighing the bad. Dolow Thu, 28 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT I have been on Torisel for 12 weeks.  The most serious side effect that I have experienced is fatigue induced by anemia.  It is being controlled by fortnightly shots to increae production of red blood cells and daily iron pills.  Early on I experienced severe acne on my nose, scalp and back.  This is being controlled by antibiotics.  straker Thu, 06 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT
