Having major muscle/joint pains...

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the holiday. Well, I've been on

Gleevec for 10 days now, and boy am I feeling the side effects!! I had

nausea from the word go, but for the past few days I've been having

muscle/joint pain behind my knees and now in my calves. And today I

look like the Michelin marshmallow man with my puffy eyes and swollen

ankles. Geez! All the things I read say that the side effects will

go away " with time. " Well, how long is that " time " ?? Months? Years?

Can anyone share how long they experienced all of these side effects at

once and when/if they will ever go away? Thanks, guys! Sorry to be

complaining!
