This is in reference to 91166 or Dianne's posting. I was on 800mg of gleevec at the time, now down to 600, when I was experiencing numbness in my feet ( also very sore big toe -gout?)and a lot of cramping. I would get severe cramps that would bring me right out of bed ( always at night, especially when I stretched). The numbness is pretty well gone now. The cramps (my hands claw, too) are still with me from time to time. My onc told me to use calcium - magnesium 1500/500 for the cramps. I can usualy work out the leg and foot cramps by rubbing aspercreme into the affected limb.I also eat one or two bananas a day (for potassium). Nick
