Frantic34

I am supposed to be starting on revlimid next week. I took it years ago...so I feel like we're going backward with my medicine. I sure wish I could go into remission. I am glad you are doing well.

Hi Frantic34, I am sorry you are having so many problems with your health, and at such a young age. I have gained weight too, I think it is because I am too tired to get up and do much. My doctor tells me to walk! I live alone so I have to walk a good bit. I wonder if some of your medicines could be causing some of the effects. What does your doctor say about it?

Frantic: Welcome to WhatNext. I am also an MM Warrior. It sounds like you're having problems with neuropathy and hot flashes. My SCT threw me back into menopause and I had some hot flashes and I treated it with drinks of ice water and cold showers. Luckily it didn't last too long. But the neuropathy, I use gabapentin (300 mg - 2x a day). It has cut the neuropathy in half. Stay well!
