Good Morning Fellow Sufferers
This is my first post, I have read with interest a lot of your helpful and anecdotal comments and thought it was time I shared some of mine, no doubt now my children will be asking when I will be progressing to Twitter and Face Book (Never!!!!)
Following my SCT and the 100 days, I perhaps was luckier than some of you to feel so well albeit at times tired and a loss of stamina.
However towards the end of my 100 days I developed a rash on my chest in the area of a V (like you get from the sun while wearing an open neck shirt), I thought it was prickly heat or hives and was prescribed anti-histamines and steroid creams none of which gave any real relief, I just wanted to turn my skin inside out to get some relief.
I had been using E45 cream on some patches of very dry skin and was over zealous one morning with the amount I dispensed from the tube and to get rid of it I applied it to my chest and arms and found that it gave me some relief from the itching. I have since been using the E45 Itching cream twice a day and found it to be very beneficial. Also I have found that if I exert myself and sweat (Glow for you ladies) the rash gets inflamed, however a quick wash and reapplication restores the balance.
Are any of you out there on the new myeloma XI Maintenance treatment of Revlimid & Zolinza?
Kind regards to you all
