B12 supplements can actually be beneficial for myeloma patients, particularly those experiencing anemia as a side effect of their condition or treatment. Some doctors may prescribe B12 supplements specifically to help increase blood cell levels and improve anemia symptoms. However, it's crucial to always check with your healthcare team before starting any new supplements, including B12. This is because some supplements can interact with myeloma medications. Your oncologist or healthcare provider can refer you to a dietitian who can help determine if you need B12 supplementation and at what dosage. One MyMyelomaTeam member shared their positive experience, noting that they started taking B12 to help manage their anemia, which had been a constant side effect of their condition.
