I'm covered with a rash that suddenly appeared. Doctor took me off Revlimid
I am on 15 mg Revlimid for complete response maintenance.
Over 2 1/2 years ago on 25 mg treatment dose I experienced boils on my thighs. Stopped treatment and took antibiotics the boils went away, even after return to the higher dose. Last spring I experienced hives on my scalp and swelling which went away with s dose reduction. The issues occurred from a drug interaction. I returned to 15 mg Revlimid dosage. My light chains and blood draws never changed and no negative results. My multiple myeloma is very stable and indolent according to my MM Specialist. While the occurrences were very inconvenient I fought through them and returned to my maintenance dosage and extend my remission .
Thanks. I will be seeing my oncologist tomorrow regarding this rash and revlimed
Well, I just started 10 mg again as maintenance after my SCT. Third dose and my head is covered in angry red rash. Especially my ears that are itching and burning. I
A few other areas too. Dang. I tolerated this dose before but then I was also on Dexamethasone at the time.
Still...Revlimid is very good at keeping MM in remission longer so its worth the rash to me.
When I was first diagnosed w MM, I was put on regimen of revlamid. My form of the disease did not respond to the initial treatment at all. After two weeks on Revlamid, I developed a rash over my entire body. Prednisone cleared up the rash right away. I hope 🤞 this helps. Good luck to you. 💕
