I have been taking Darlex for about 5 years. Never ever had a problem. Maybe your back problems could be a fracture like I had and a pinched nerve. MRI sounds like a plan. Good luck

Try taking Frankincense to protect your healthy cells. And Curcumin!

Everyone may react differently and your provider could be conservative or more lenient about your needs or wants...just depends. Remember though, that not everyone reacts the same to treatment. You will learn and see many opinions in here, so research, listen to your medical team, and be proactive....easy, huh? 😉 lol
Also ask AI a lot of questions....pretty smart and great bedside manner!
You'll see...Welcome Manjul 🤗

Can homeopathy or ayurveda help with side effects from Darzalex and denosumab?

It's understandable to feel concerned about starting new treatments. While complementary therapies like yoga, meditation, and massage have shown benefits for mental health, sleep quality, and fatigue during myeloma treatment, there's important guidance about alternative approaches.

Research shows that people who choose alternative medicines alone instead of modern medical treatments have higher risks and lower survival rates. Complementary therapies work best when used alongside your prescribed medications, not as replacements.

Regarding Darzalex specifically, common side effects include:
* Nausea
* Back pain
* Fever
* Cough
* Fatigue
* Low blood cell counts

Denosumab helps prevent bone problems that can lead to pain and fractures in myeloma.

Your healthcare team can help manage side effects if they occur. Many major medical centers have integrative therapy departments that can guide you on safe complementary approaches to use with your prescribed treatment. It's essential to discuss any complementary therapies with your myeloma specialist before starting them to ensure they won't interfere with your medications.
