RE: Re: Gleevec & brain power

[Guest guest]

I did the same thing. Got off for a week and its like " WOW! " . Yet, I have

guilt that I am killing myself slowly. I have the thinking/concentrating

issues too. My HGB is low too.

My HGB is 11.7 in my last blood test in Nov. It was marked as Low.

I have had off 2 weeks Gleevec (refill problem) and noticed I got more

active and stay sharp most of the time. I feel like I came alive. But I am

now back on Gleevec. I am less eager to do things or think.

cannot concentrate and focus like it used to be. My thinking is not as sharp

too. Does anyone have similar experience I have when taking Gleevec? Also I

am getting forgetful too.
