Hi Val

Nothing prescribed by the medics for me post SCT.

It may be my imagination but I find Minavex helps keep some of the bugs away. You can buy it from the chemist,one spoon a day, it is usually for children!

Hope this helps.

Hi Val

I take a teaspoon of Manuka honey each morning hoping it will help boost my immune system.  Am also thinking of starting taking turmeric tablets as I found an American study which showed it had the potential to stop myeloma becoming resistant to drugs.  The only thing I have come across which is a no-no is green tea if you are on Velcade as it is thought to prevent it working properly.

You should tell your consultant about any supplements you are taking.

Should also add that I given up alcohol – apart from a couple of glasses of bubbly at my son’s wedding and at a friend’s 60th birthday celebrations!

Sorry have just noticed you are post SCT.  I haven’t had mine yet!

Best of luck

Sue
