normal to gain weight drastically?? i want to feel good despite of my

CML...please can anyone recommend a natural way?? also i am

experiencing gas pains and was advised also not to engage in too much

strenous activity that is why i dont think it is possible for me to

work out on this extra pounds i have..i used to be 108 pounds when i

was diagnosed 5 months ago and now i am 128 pounds..please
