Re: gleevec and neuropathy-

Jean-

I have been diagnosed since May 05 and I am on Gleevec 600mg daily. Yes, I

too have the neuropathy that you mentioned. My legs go to sleep the longer I

sit and I often have " sleeping " arms and legs at nighttime when I lay down. I

have slept on my side and have woken up with that side of my face and arm to

the side I am sleeping on asleep. I also get the tingling in my hands during

the day.

My biggest problem besides the flair ups of gastritis is the fatigue and bone

pain in my legs.

Thanks for allowing my to vent.
