Hi Helen I am glad your mum phoned the ward , I used to hesitate about phoning for advice but then I quickly realised there is no point suffering when there is usually a solution to be had . I was diagnosed 5 years ago after a year of awful back pain. Eventually I was diagnosed and by that time 3 vertebrae were destroyed, I then had a spinal…[Read more]

Hi Sarah
Thinking of you today,as every one on this sight is,many because we know some were down the line it is going to be one of us,so sad that it has come around so fast.we all know what a roller coast of a ride this is and i do not think anyone is ever prepared for the future.

Hi Helen sorry to hear your mum is having a tough time , hopefully things will improve soon , it can take a few weeks on Revlimid before things get easier You are probably right about Dex causing the shakes , it might be worth talking to the doctor about spreading the dose out , I now take mine every Monday for 4 weeks rather than for 4…[Read more]

Dear Sarah my heart is breaking for you , life is just s–t sometimes. Gordon must be pleased to going home and spending time with you all , he must be sick of hospital.

Hi Ozzy just to add to Jos point about being careful re any persistent leg or hip pain and high doses of steroids In my case I had to have a hip replacement a few months after my sct as the steroids had completely destroyed the joint in just a few months So if your hips or legs get worse make sure your doctor knows about it and they can check with…[Read more]

Hi Bridget

I am so glad something is going your way after such a rotten few months.
Long may your improvement last. Who knows, those size 12s may get another airing eventually.

I always appreciate your obvious concerna and support of others.

Hi Amelia
Your posting was near midnight,and I can sympathise how shocked and worried you must have felt,it is very hard when things start to go wrong,and by nature you must worry about it all starting over again.make sure you keep posting ,i often wish Slim was one of the lucky ones who sail through to SCT.

I cannot answer your questions,but…[Read more]
