That's wonderful news — more energy and better kidney numbers are both really encouraging signs! There could be a few reasons things are looking up.
Myeloma itself can put stress on the kidneys, and when an infection is brought under control with antibiotics, the body has more resources to focus on recovery. Less inflammation and infection burden can sometimes lead to improved kidney function and a noticeable boost in energy.
Here are a few things that may be contributing to how you're feeling:
- Treating the infection reduces the overall strain on your body and immune system
- Better kidney function means waste is being filtered more efficiently, which can directly improve energy levels
- Staying hydrated (2–3 liters of water daily is often recommended for myeloma patients) also supports kidney health
It's worth sharing these improvements with your care team so they can track what's working. They may want to monitor your kidney numbers closely going forward, especially depending on which myeloma treatments you're on, as some can affect kidney function over time.
Keep celebrating those wins — they matter! 🎉
