Hi all

Mum started Revlimid on Monday and has started with really bad itching, is this a side affect of Revlimid and if so how can it be treated.

Hello Michelle – yes, itching is a side effect of Revlimid and I experienced it to a lesser degree. I didn't use any creams but I would suggest you contact Mum's team and tell them so that they can perhaps recommend a cream that will relieve the itching.

I do hope that Revlimid will help her. Will be thinking of you both.
Love, Gaye x

Hi

Stephen was very itchy when he was on CDT and he used the stuff he uses for his eczema Sudocrem. I am always loathe to advise anyone to use something but this can be used on babies for nappy rash so should be gentle enough and may do some good.

I felt as if I'd got nits for about 6 days. I took some Piriton, which seemed to help. The itching did wear off and hasn't returned.

Good luck.

Hi guys

thanks, I have given her some antihistamine today and that has helped, she is back at hospital tomoz to see how she is getting on, so she is going to mention to the team then. dont know whether i was right or wrong giving but im sure it can only help, when i looked at her back she has a massive red rash, and it sure did look itchy.

When I took the Piriton, I took it without thinking of the interactions but when I told my consultant she was quite happy about it and said I'd done the right thing so even if it doesn't get rid of the itching completely, I'm sure it will reduce it without any problems.

Hi Tom and Bridget

Glad she is not the only one that falls asleep lol! She has my Dad and Brother in stitches sometimes, She will answer crossword questions for My Dad while she is sleeping but doesnt know the answer when she is awake ha ha ha!! and the other day picked up a fan and started faning herself, gosh what is the world of MM coming to!?!?!

I took her shopping yday, cos she not been out all wk with the snow, and guess what? Yep she fell asleep in the wheelchair, not only pushing her round but at the tills too. Its really not a good look I keep telling her.

Well least I get a laugh, and oh what memories she is giving us!!

Love to you and your Mum
