Is Anyone Using 10mg Ritalin Daily?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

A year ago, I was given 10mg Ritalin to take daily, to help me during extreme fatigue times. It helped me focus at a time I needed to concentrate on my work. I only took 5 of the 30 pills.

Neuropathy
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

Shipmates,
Did your neuropathy come on gradually after taking MM meds? How long after meds did your neuropathy start? So far I’ve been blessed no neuropathy but plenty of lower back pain. I’m wondering if neuropathy is another phase of MM. is this what I’m looking forward to next? Thank you so much. Wishing you a blessed day with smooth sailings.
