Well, Ms. Ryan, an interesting question. Causes one to reflect on the joys of living. I've not heard this concern with male enhancement drugs. At my age clinical proof of deleterious effects would not… read more

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
My first COVID vaccine caused a spike in my light chains, but it was temporary. I don't remember if my protein pattern was effected..

Hi, everyone-
What are your thoughts about protecting yourselves from infection? I’m in the middle of induction therapy and I wear a mask when I go out in public and I avoid crowded places.

Hi
I am on Daralex and dexamethasone for maintenance therapy. I ask my doctor about getting the Covid 19 vaccine and was told it may not be as effective because of the maintenance therapy. They did not say I could not get the vaccine, but I should check to see what the CDC guidelines were.
Thanks

I was advised by my Specialist to get the new booster, so I did. I had sore arm for a few days, but that is all. I was sick after the third shot, so was expecting the worse. I was very surprised… read more
I was diagnosed with multiple Myeloma in April of 2021 after several spinal fractures were found. I had a stem cell transplant in Nov 2021. I was on Darzalex and Revlimid, but recently went off the Darzalex. I also no longer take dexamethasone or Acyclovir. I am in very good partial remission. I get a Zometa infusion every 3 months .
