Does Anyone Have Painful Joints From MM And Taking Emplicity And Pomalyst?

Feeling Uneasy

So I've been very sick the last few days. Either the world is spinning or I just feel uneasy. Smell is another thing. Everything smell weird. Meat taste so nasty I gave up trying and things I do eat have a tin taste or sour taste.
I'm wondering if I stop some of the teatment maybe that will help. I can't do the next 4 months like this.

Hi - I Am A 65 Year Old Pretty Long Term Survivor Of Multiple Myeloma. I Am Looking For Info Regarding Cost Of Revlimid

I am about to go on Medicare and was SHOCKED at the cost of the copay for Revlimid which I am starting as maintenance therapy. Even with the supplemental prescription coverage, it is obscenely expensive. Why is there no generic available? I am wondering how others deal with this? We don't qualify for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society assistance program. Anything else out there? Thank you.

CO2 Numbers Have Decreased Below Normal On Last Two CMP's. What Would Cause This?

Doctor doesn't seem concerned, just says "we'll monitor". All other numbers are in normal range, no kidney problems or liver problems. He had an echocardiogram… read more
