Vicki, What are roth spots? In the beginning the fatigue is pretty hard, betweent he stress of being dx'd, your counts being off and adjusting to the medicine your body and mind are worn out. As time passes this will improve. To fight of the general fatigue I would suggest to to some kind of exercising each day if you can, even if it's only a brisk walk. I never changed my diet but I will tell you to make sure and take your gleevec with a 'full' meal not a snack and drink plenty of water. This will help with diahrria and nausea if you are proned to it. I was fortunate that these two side effects weren't a problem for me. I hope you respond wonderfully to the Gleevec and get to feeling better soon. Take Care!! Brenda gleevec 5/04 pcru 5/05

So far, I'm really tired and bruise very easily. Is the fatigue going to be a part of my world or has anyone found ways to help curve it? > > Thanks for any information you can provide. > > Vicki New!
