Pat I had the night sweats and contributed it to menopause and I was having a lot of joint pain. I figured it was the physical job I was doing and I was getting overly tired and contriubuted it to the work hours I was doing. Once I was diagnosed and put on Gleevec most of the symptoms have gone away. I have been fighting back by exercise and trying to eat healthy too. I feel quite fortunate to be doing so well.
