Freeda:
I have also had cramps but in the line of work I do I sweat a lot and
by adding a little extra salt on my dinner before lying down for the night has
helped eliminate the cramps for me. My doctor said it wouldn't hurt me
after I had called him about the cramps. After being diagnosed (August,2001)
with
CML I have been on Gleevec since September and have been in full remission
since October of that same year. Cramps didn't start until about a year ago.
I have had side effects of weight gain due to Thyroid malfunction (on
Levoxyl), and for the first time just discovered (9-12-05) creatinine had risen
(no
treatment started yet). Talk to your doctors see what they may say. Good
Luck - Mark
