Hi Jeff, Don't worry about complaining; that's what this list is for. I think the Gleevec is causing a lot of problems that aren't listed in the side effects. That's why this list is so good; we can list what is happening to our bodies and see if anyone else is having a similar problem. Of course we have to remember we do have leukemia and taking Gleevec is only putting in on hold; so some of our problems could be leukemia related. This morning I woke up with a sore shoulder, I guess this could be the joint pain everyone complains about; I hadn't had it so far. I read an article about the fact that a lot of people that take NASIDS would probably have ulcers in their small intestines; so thing about what the Gleevec could do to them. Well, maybe I don't want to think about that hehe. I think we just have to treat each problem we have with good sense; asking our Drs about them and then treating them to the best of our knowledge and theirs.
