Hi Laura, I sleep in an extra large men's tee shirt and it works great. I had long bone pain when I first stated with the Gleevec back in 2003, but now I have pain in the Hip joint and don't know if it is related to the Gleevec or not. But I got through the bone pain in 2003 and the other side effects that I had. Gleevec is a God send.
