Penny: These are the side-effects that most of us have. I also have been on 600mg of Gleevec for almost 4 years. I don't like the puffy eyes in the morning and the thin skin which causes me to always be cold and have to have band-aids all over. However, you do get used to it. I have had no bone pain and no cramps since taking a good multi vitamin and extra calcium, potassium, and magnesium. You wonder what is really happening with our bodies. Beats the alternative, though. Dave
