Hi Sandy, What have you done for the muscle spasms?  The only thing I've found that helps when I get them is Tonic Water with Quinine in it!  Jim Rodeghier --- On Sat, 7/25/09, Sandra Wells nannyg...@bellsouth.net wrote: From: Sandra Wells nannyg...@bellsouth.net Subject: [CMLHope] LOW ENERGY

Sandy, I've been fighting fatigue as well. I seem to have chronic low level anemia that is probably related to the Gleevec. I do my best to eat plenty of iron rich food and drink a lot of water. That seems to help. I also seem to have better days when I laugh at something: funny movie, email or

Hi SandyI never did get over the side effects that I had on Gleevec. Most Onc. don't believe the possible side effectsor so I've found. I had diarrhea really bad on the Gleevec and found that different foods triggered that, so with staying away from the foods and being on meds for it,
