Grocery List.......my first reaction. Produce has gone up in price SO much but still food is always better than a pill. I'm taking notes.
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member, My primary doctor checked my foliates and vitamin b12 in March and b12 was way out of normal range - excessively high. High B12 is hard on the kidneys so I have stopped taking. I don't know if the clinical trial meds I'm on has anything to do with this but I have mentioned to my oncologist and will have my b12 checked again next month.
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member Getta, I always worried about my white blood count and finally found out that the Revlimid was causing my number to be below average. Now after 5 months of being off Revlimid (I have been in remission) my white count finally is in the normal range - still on the lower end but I’m in the green. Low white count means your immune system can easily catch a bug. So don’t worry the Revlimid is the cause of low white blood count. If takes a while but once you are off of Revlimid your number will go up! Wishing you well!
What supplements can help increase white blood cell counts in someone with myeloma?
Low white blood cells are really common with myeloma, since myeloma cells compete with healthy blood cells in the bone marrow. It's great that you're keeping an eye on your numbers!
