If you have pain in my experience a palliative care doc is who to see. Mine was amazing. Many think it’s end of life care but they also do pain management. Check it out

Dex reduces inflammation. It’s a steroid. It can keep you awake and hungry. It’s used a lot with other MM chemo drugs to make them more effective.

I took it twice a week during induction.
