Guest guest Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Hi, I may finally have a side effect, it only happened once last week and then again this morning. Leg cramps, first thing in the morning, and it is hard to remember not to stretch when you first wake up! I'll work on that. I well remember the cramps while on Gleevec, legs, toes, fingers, and I really, really can't drink tonic water without vodka and ice and lime. If they continue, I am going to try my faithful acupuncturist!

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 Bobby, That should definitely work the acupuncture for the leg cramps, I have one too, and I no longer have those horrible leg cramps that wake one up when in deep sleep! In fact most of my side effects from Gleevec, has gone away since I started using Acupuncture again!
