Hello. I'm new to the group and have a question about the
side effects of
Gleevec. I've noticed that when I try and run for exercise
now, my calves
cramp up fairly badly after about a mile. I used to run 6-8
miles a day but
now it seems like the most I can manage is 2 and half the
time I walk home
after the first one. I've been on 400mg gleevec for about
6 weeks now. I've
tried extra stretching and more potassium in my diet but
so far nothing
helps and I'm getting fairly frustrated. Does anyone have
any ideas that
might help? I was hoping to run in a local race in March
but at this rate...
Thanks for any ideas. Cheers, Kat
C.
