Hi Lee, I have been on Gleevec since April 2001 and I have consistent problems with cold fingers and toes. At first, it seemed to go through all of my long bones as well, but that improved over time. My counts have been consistently in the low normal or slightly low range. The coldness is worsened in the winter. But I live in S. California, so most of the time it's fairly warm. It may be CML, but I think it's probably a Gleevec side-effect. Just my opinion.
