Hi Peggy, I have something similar, I am not sure when it started, although not as bad as you. My left leg tends to go out to the left slightly and my right does not come all the way forward when walking. This only happens on odd occasions but it does make me very unsteady some times. I had thought of using a walking stick but at the moment I…[Read more]

Good Going Dia, just keep up the good work.

I had a similar situation many moons ago now with my blood test results. So I altered when I had my blood taken from a couple of days, that I was told to do, to 5 clear working days before. Now I know all my results will be available and I always ask, good news or bad it does not matter ? they are…[Read more]

Have a real good time, you deserve it.

Actually Ann I was told by my doctor that Somerset is a hot spot for Myeloma. He has two other patients, which is unusual!

The Geraniums I have planted in the garden look good, nice colour. The ones I have left outside my greenhouse, were smaller plants and a couple are looking a bit distressed (leaves go red), so I think I was rather early. I normally wait for the council to plant their borders and then do mine in the same week But for some wierd reason I decided…[Read more]

Hi Roz, You were here when I started on the site I think and it is nice that you have kept in contact. I wish you all the best for the furture.

The nearest I have to your loss was that of my son at the age of 19 years. It took me 18 months before I could say his name withour welling up with tears so I know, I think, where you are coming…[Read more]

p.s. Just planted some Geraniums out today, a little early but it was such a loverly day I could not resist it.

You I know I had forgotten all about this, thanks Ali,

I am so glad that it helped you, you have made my day.

By the way I mention the taste of the water and it was not the hospital water it was the altered taste buds in my mouth, when I got home it was just the same. My full taste returned Christmas morning in time for Christmas dinner and…[Read more]

Hi Vicki and Colin, Peaks and troughs are par for the course with Myeloma. I think recognizing that the guy/girl you love is still the same person when their personality is being changed by the drugs seems to be the hardest thing to bear for a careers. Stick with it be positive there are good times ahead and get out into that beautiful area…[Read more]

Hi James, Are you new to the site? If so a warm welcome and if not I apologize for not recognizing you.

Best of luck to your Dad, the drugs can have a different affect on different people so there is no "golden rule or treatment path? so to speak. As you say it is very early days yet and the Doctors have to work out which treatment is…[Read more]

I have had a SCT and radio therapy (15 to 20 months ago) and at the moment I am on a plateau, my Paraprotiens are stable at 2.4(ish). I have no pain and am able to do most things, gardening, shopping and some DIY.

What I do before I travel away from Taunton, my home, is to make sure I have any medication I need for the trip PLUS enough for…[Read more]
