I am sorry that you are dealing with this problem, I know it can be quite

painful. I have not had kidney stones that I know of, however, twice I have

been rushed by ambulance to a hospital with kidney stone-like symptoms. They

did some testing, and thought it might be that, but it was decided finally

that it was pancreatic attack instead. I think all kinds of things happen with

Gleevec, as it really does have some crazy side effects and people experience

a whole slew of different problems.

For some reason, every once in a while I have these bouts and I know it is

definitely Gleevec-related, for I never, ever experienced painful attacks like

these. I hope you can find a way to alleviate your situation. I know this

email isn't very helpful, but I just had to chime in here and say that you are

not alone in having to battle unpleasantness. - Lynne A.
