I was diagnosed with CML in 2003 and have been on Gleevec ever since.  (Currently taking 400 mg) Along with the typical symptoms of cramps and swollen watery eyes, I have had a lot of skin related problems like sensitive inner lips and genital areas along with very dry skin. I had oily skin prior to gleevec. Since 2004 I developed asthma like symptoms but my pulmonologist has confirmed it is not asthma.  I am thinking it may be related to my CML treatment. Has anyone else experienced lung problems associated with taking gleevec?
