side effects of glivec

I have been on glivec almost five years and recently lost the feeling in both legs it has returned however I am experiencing dizzy spells. Has anyone else had these experiences on glivec?

Hi,

I am not sure that loss of feeling in both legs and dizziness could be attributed to imatinib, especially as such symptoms could be  caused by other health issues. I suggest you contact your GP and/or your haematologist if the dizziness persists. There could be a simple explanation such as a low HGB, but it is best to rule out something more serious.
