I have Multiple Myeloma and have been on Darzalex/Revlimid/Dexamethasone for over a year now. My Myeloma numbers have dropped into the normal range so we have decided to drop my Revlimid dose from 25mg to 10 mg and monitor.

I am going on medicare in December and I have been paying $10.00 for my Revlimid because I have medical coverage through my employer . On Medicare its$1700 per month( give or take).

I cut out all salts and whenever I can I elevate my feet for long periods of time.
I am in remission after stem cell transplant but I was prescribed Revlimid as maintenance therapy. I have to take it until relapse. What is your experience with this medication.
And I was doing good with pain until a couple of months ago, pain in my hips and upper thigh , is that where Claritin helps is with pain ?
I've yammered a lot already about having an existing cancer -- told it's not related to whatever stage of Myeloma I may be. But symptoms of both seem to potentially "overlap". Ergo I get The Shrugs right now, when I ask if they're Myeloma-related.
New: deep bone pain that makes me snivel, far beyond what I've been told is arthritis. Lumbar; hips; fanny to shins; neck (my eldest grandson, 5, says I look like "Robo-Greema" because I have to now turn my whole body vs just my big fat head). Ribs… read more
