Jennie, It affects people differently but yes those extreme side effects are possible. Most people are energetic, get a lot done, restless, can’t sleep for a day or two then you get a crash, where you will catch up on sleep. The steroids make the Myeloma drugs more effective!

I gained about 20 pounds but had fun buying new clothes that fit. I have lost 10 pounds this year by eating less carbs and sweets.

My husband has not gained weight but he has had thrush several times from the steroids.

My husband was on dexamethzone. He only started gaining weight after being on it for many years.

I think u only gain weight if u r on the steroids for a long time and daily
