I am so glad you are starting to feel better but as Roz says dont overdo things , mind you it sounds as though Stephen will make sure you dont Will you need oxygen permanently now ? Or will your lungs…[Read more]

Hi Helen yes it was a bit confusing and spooky but later I saw the funny side ! It will be a while before I know if it is working, I have to rely on bmb and mri scans together with any physical symptoms such as pain because I am now a non-secretorBecause of my own experience ( initially my pp results were accurate) I am always a little uneasy…[Read more]

Hi Amelie sorry if I was over generalising I did remember John is your friend but I was just giving the patients perspective. He certainly is a very active man and his mum too , obviously good genes in their family ! I am glad you can come on here for answers to some of your questions but it is hard to be specific when we each have our own myeloma…[Read more]

Hi only me I really feel for you its horrible watching our parents go through it It is not really a case of someone being able to give you a time table as to when your dad will feel better as everyone is different but in a couple of weeks time you will look back and be surprised how much better he is Just take it one day at a time, I know you…[Read more]

Hi Jean what I didnt say is I could not have got through the last five years without Jeffs support The thing about not telling you everything might be male pride but come to think of it there are times I dont mention little niggles. I really feel for you Jean as now my mum is very frail I feel totally useless but even with her I try and let her…[Read more]

I admire your strength especially having a toddler to look after as well , but its a lovely age though everything is new Heres hoping you get your energy back up quickly just remember to allow your body time to rest when you need to Good luxk love Bridget x

Hi Amelie and Jean I was just thinking how hard it must be worrying about someone you care about but I thought it might help to hear the other side, the patients side It is a tricky one but I would not want Jeff to be hovering over me all the time .I already feel pretty useless because of all the things I can no longer do so I would feel even…[Read more]

Hi Helen and Sue thankyou for asking. I am still struggling with the tiredness which I assume is Thalidomide Sometimes its scary , the other night I dozed off on the sofa woke and went to get a drink in the kitchen when I looked at the clock I realised I had fallen asleep standing up for an hour in the middle of the kitchen!! Friday and Saturday…[Read more]

I think the answer Debs is to talk to the hospital and better be safe than sorry, Im sorry your feeling so awful but its that darned time of year when everyone is run down but being run down after MM is something to take professional advise on.
I hope it clears up soon and your able to get on with your life
Love MIn

Dear Gina,

Also some soothing wipes to use instead of…[Read more]
