Haven’t logged in for a while as been adjusting to my weekly treatment days and abundance of pills. Feel I’ve now experienced most of the side effects, several at a time, but fortunately not all at once.
I’m finding restless legs hard to deal with as it lasts for several hours at a time. A heat pad on my calf helps, as does walking and exercising my legs. Difficult to do that at night though.
Has anyone found anything else helpful?
I started treatment in January so have just finished two cycles and the good news is that my paraproteins have dropped considerably. This tells me it’s worth persevering even when it doesn't always feel that way.
I was still symptom free until December of last year. On Boxing Day, however, I was admitted to hospital with multiple blood clots in my lungs. I was told by one Haemotology doctor that it was connected to my myeloma, but was too poorly to ask him how.
Had anyone else experienced this?
Thank you,
Jo
