What Should My Diet Consist Of Foods I Should And Should Not Eat?

Anyone Have Severe Hot Flashes And Fatigue? I Am On Revlimid 15mg 2 Weeks On One Off And Dexamethasone 4mg 5 Pills The Two On Weeks.

I am having such terrible hot flashes lately. I have had them all thru menopause but way past that now so do not think it's that. They seem to happen I do notice when feeling a bit of anxiety, but not always. Also extreme fatigue, not tired which seems strange, as the days I take the Dex I wind up with insomnia and for at least 3 days can't sleep then by end of week I can't get out of bed, but when I do I don't know how to sit and relax I wind up keep getting up to do things, which makes the… read more

Can People With Multiple Myeloma Taking Maintenance Therapy Get The Covid 19 Vaccine?

Hi
I am on Daralex and dexamethasone for maintenance therapy. I ask my doctor about getting the Covid 19 vaccine and was told it may not be as effective because of the maintenance therapy. They did not say I could not get the vaccine, but I should check to see what the CDC guidelines were.

Thanks

If You Have Multiple Myeloma, Have You Had A Root Canal Or Shingles. I Need Both Yes And No Answers

As a retired physician, I hypothesize that a cause for multiple myeloma is long term exposure to your immune system by a never changing bacteria or virus. The most likely source for such a bacteria or virus is a root canal or shingles. Bacteria can multiply and divide without exposure to plasma cells in the tubules of a dead tooth. Shingles virus hides in the spine. The never changing bacteria from the dead tooth then leaks into the gum where plasma cells are constantly stimulated to create a… read more

Do FISH Results Showing Chromosome Deletions And Alterations Ever Change Back To Normal As A Result Of Chemo Treatments?

Husband's most recent cytology report from his bone marrow biopsy said "Normal Male Karyotype, no clonal abnormalities detected." A FISH analysis was not done on this biopsy, probably because there were no abnormalities, but the original Fish analysis on the biopsy done at diagnosis, showed multiple chromosome deletions and alterations, leading to a "high risk" prognosis. This is also puzzling, since we were told that "high risk" suggests that the usual therapies do not work and multiple… read more

Can Someone Tell Me What Range Is For M Protein In Patients Diagnosed With MM?

Revlimid

I’ve been on Revlimid for approximately 4 years with very good results thus far. I was diagnosed with MM 5 years ago and have NOT had a stem cell transplant. I’m just curious if other have also been on Revlimid without a transplant? If so, how long has it been. For those who were on Revlimid, and eventually needed a transplant, how long was the Revlimid effective? It’s my understanding at some point the drug will lose it’s effectiveness, and I will need to explore other available options… read more
