What Is Your Take On The Covid Vaccines And A Spike In Your Protein Level?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Shipmates
I was in perfect health, well maybe a few pounds overweight. I never took any pills except for my migraines. No high blood pressure no high cholesterol, no history of cancer in my family. I’m the first. I had my blood tests done at my physical in November 2020. Everything was fine, no problem. March and April 2021, I received my Covid vaccines and in November, 2021, I was told I had way to much protein in my blood. I needed to go to an oncologist and was diagnosed with… read more

Yes, healing is slow. As above, but also due to lowered immunity caused by the treatment.

Can Anyone Explain What The Current Covid Vaccine Recommendations Are For People With Weakened Immune Systems?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have gotten the initial 2 shots and have had 2 additional booster vaccines. My last booster was Nov. 18, 2021. When I called my doctor's office to ask if I needed another vaccine, they simply said yes you need one every six months. I don't want to overlook the fact that they are coming out with new vaccines that are more affective against some of the newer variants. I don't know if I should just get the original vaccine or wait for one of the newer ones. I'm curious to know what is being… read more

My oncologist said to get my 5th shot and I am fine. Never have had Covid yet. Knock on wood. Stay healthy and God Bless.

Has Anyone Used Evusheld - Any Side Effects Or Issues With It ? Any Other Preventative Meds Used Besides The Covid Shots ?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm going to a trade show in Sept. and possibly another in Oct.

I'm still immune compromised and its probably going to be a long time before my immune system will recover. Due to Covid, I've mostly been working from home but not exclusively - food shopping, restaurants, recently movies again, and endless doctor, PT, and now gym visits, etc.

Being on a plane and in close contact to thousands of people at a trade show is a whole new level of exposure that concerns me.

Thanks

Does Anyone Have Long Covid Symptoms Along With MM In Remission?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Because there are so many side effects with the various medications and also the symptoms of MM create similar problems it’s difficult to figure what you should ignore and what it’s possible your doctor can help with.
