Dear Joan, Thank you so much for this tip. I am now taking my Gleevec after my evening meal around 5:00 - 6:00 pm. Hopefully, this will allow me to sleep off some fatigue during the night so that I can have more energy during the day.
May God Bless you, Sandy ________________________________ From: Joan <lilak...@gmail.com> To: CMLHope <CMLHope@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 10:27:17 AM Subject: [CMLHope] Re: LOW ENERGY I've been on Gleevec about 6 yrs. It really messed me up at first when I was spreading it out over the day. For quite a while, I took it in the morning but I had to be very careful how I moved for the first hour or so or I'd violently through up. Now I'm taking it at night and not having trouble as often but I stilll haveto watch how I move, especially no tipping my head down. The fatigue and joint pain seem to be the most consistent side effects. I feel best when I get my swimming in but sometimes it's hard to do that.
