I Am 2.5 Years With Multiple Myeloma And Taking Monthly Darzalex Treatments. I Also Had A Mitral Heart Valve Replaced About A Year Ago.
My on-going problem is with stability and fatigue whenever I am standing up. I feel ok when sitting or lying down. It is not a dizzy sensation but rather I feel like I am going to tip or fall over any time I am standing up. My walking coordination is not normal.
I have had several neurological and heart scans without any logical results pointing to the cause of my symptoms. My medications have been adjusted to see if they are causing the problems.
Let me know when things get better, as we all want to live a normal life.
