Yet again I have got the winter chills again. I have been on Glivec since 2003 with an undetectable PCR for almost 2 years, so what a success story. The only problems I get are the Glivec related ones. Yet again this winter I am freezing cold, piling on the layers with everybody else in the house saying "Its not cold". My temperature today is 36 degs C, when it is almost always 37degs. Has anybody ever documented this side effect. I know its not just me by reading the Forum.
Also in an unrelated vein. I have been having lots of spine, hip and bone pain with pins and needles in both legs and arms, possibly a lower disc problem (or 2). I know Glivec causes the bone pain in legs, but is it documented that it can cause pins and needles? Cramp is a real nuisance, so perhaps the pins and needles could be related to that. I am waiting for an MRI scan as X-rays have shown up nothing.
Thanks again in advance everybody for the help that always comes from this wonderful site.
To the "newbies" - stick with it and use this site to the max, I couldn't have managed without it.
