Hi everyone, I'm new to the group and was dignosed with CML Sept 2005. started Glivec 2 weeks later and have had relatively few side effects apart from extreme tiredness and lack of energy. Prior to diagnosis and glivec I was walking 8km a day with my dogs but now I struggle to do 5km and if I don't have a sleep at lunchtime I feel completely exhausted by the end of the day. Does anyone else have this side effect and did it subside? I'm used to being really active but just find myself drained so easily. I'm on 400mg glivec a day.
Luckily, touch wood, I haven't had any real problems with cramps apart from the few odd times but since being diagnosed and starting glivec I've also been taking a complete magnesium supplement that may have helped with the cramps. I'm also seeing an acupuncturist who specialises in blood conditions and herbal medicine. I figure the more complimentary medicines can only assist and make the whole process easier. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> AIDS has a woman's face.
