Hi there and welcome to the group. I was dx in May 2005 and I can say that tiredness and lack of energy are my biggest complaints. I just try to eat right and I need to work on the exercise part. Just need to find more time in my day I guess. From what I understand, fatigue is something that will probably always be there. It sounds like you are still trying to stay active though, which is good. I am also on 400 mg of Gleevec. Do you have any other side effects?

Hi everyone, I'm new to the group and was dignosed with CML Sept 2005.
started Glivec 2 weeks later and have had relatively few side effects
apart from extreme tiredness and lack of energy. Prior to diagnosis
and glivec I was walking 8km a day with my dogs but now I struggle to
do 5km and if I don't have a sleep at lunchtime I feel completely
exhausted by the end of the day. Does anyone else have this side
effect and did it subside? I'm used to being really active but just
find myself drained so easily. I'm on 400mg glivec a day.
Luckily, touch wood, I haven't had any real problems with cramps apart
from the few odd times but since being diagnosed and starting glivec
I've also been taking a complete magnesium supplement that may have
helped with the cramps. I'm also seeing an acupuncturist who
specialises in blood conditions and herbal medicine. I figure the more
complimentary medicines can only assist and make the whole process
easier.
