Dear Michael, Just hang in there! The side effects do get better with time and a lot of patience. I think the diarrhea, low energy and muscle spasms have been the worse for me. It seems that the diarrhea can be controlled with diet and the muscle spasms with extra potassium, but not magnesium because this causes diarrhea. I believe one of the worse things for my diarrhea is Coca Cola and spicy foods, but then everyone is different Of the 37 side effects, I probably had 34, but after 10 months, I began to feel much better and am in "total remission". My one year anniversary on Gleevec is January 28, 2010. I will pray for you as I do all the CML Warriors.
