Fatigue is a very common side effect of myeloma treatments that can persist during maintenance therapy. While some people experience improvement over time, it's important to understand that the response varies for each person.
The good news is that as your myeloma gets better with treatment, fatigue often improves gradually. Studies show that maintenance therapy becomes more effective the longer you take it, which can lead to better overall health outcomes. To manage fatigue during maintenance therapy:
• Keep your healthcare team informed about all your symptoms
• Ensure they know about any medications you're taking, including over-the-counter drugs
• Follow your maintenance therapy schedule consistently
• Be patient - improvement may take time as your body adjusts to treatment
Remember that staying on your maintenance therapy as prescribed is vital for the best possible outcomes.
