Hi! I live in Minnesota and am cold all the time. The summers are warm, but I'm still cold. This is definitely not a coincidence. I am pretty convinced that the CML and/or the Gleevec are causing at least a fair amount of my struggle with this deep, inner core feeling of being cold. chris in

Hi Lee, I'm cold most of the time also. We moved from Northwest Indiana to Springfield, MO. two years also. The winters are not so bad here. I turn the heat up, my wife turns it down. I'm going to have to get one of those clear boxes that cover up the heat control and keep the key.

Lee, I had the same thing happen to me for about 6 months or so after starting Gleevec. It went away and hasn't returned in the last 18 months. I do seem to be less tolerant of the cold weather than I used to be. But that could also be a result of getting older, too. Bob On Oct 31, 10:57 pm

In simple terms, Osmolality refers to the level of concentration of something suspended in solution, such as calcium levels in the blood plasma. It is like putting sugar into iced tea; the sugar disappears as it is suspended in the liquid. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003463.h

Dear Lee, I was dx'd in late 2004 and being cold has been a problem for me. It did not occur until after I discovered I had CML so I'm not really sure if it is caused by the CML or Gleevec but I believe it to be a common complaint from other members of the group. Hopefully another member of the gr
