Hi Sal
Sorry to hear about M. My hubby is 57 and has had several operations on his spine and lost mobility. He is now walking on crutches and getting stronger after more than a year in hospital. Take one day at a time and try not to look far into the future. Comfort him but do try to make him do things for himself and be independant.

We are in central Scotland and get treatment at Forth Valley Royal hospital. We have found the consultants very good. I believe Dundee have a specialist unit for myeloma

Wound is being reviewed every week in Edinburgh and is healing nicely. Still going every morning to FVRH for antibiotics. Up at am7.30 every morning and feeling tired.
Looking forward to Christmas with the family. My daughter will help with the cooking. Love seeing the granddaughters.
Merry Christmas

HI Andy
I was thinking of Dai too. It was a lovely day here and I like to think he is now signing with the angels.
Think of him often and will miss his cheery character.

Hi Andy
Thank you so much for your reply 🙂
I am now seeing a Nuerologist on Tuesday so I will mention to him about bone pain possibly being related to the Stem Cell production.
Its a little depressing to think I may have to live like this if it is damage caused by the treatment, I don’t have much quality of life and I am only just 50. My…[Read more]

Hi
I was diagnosed on 12th October 2012 with Multiple Myeloma and I am now 6 months post stem cell transplant and I am feeling terrible pains in my body mainly back, down shins to the top of my feet and down my fingers. I have seen a (sorry about the spellings) neurologist, rhuematologist and a back specialist. I have had a kyphoplasty, carpel…[Read more]
Hi Mandy!
Likewise I have a lot of pain post transplant (April 2012) and getting worse. Skull, shoulder, ribs. left hip, both knees and left ankle and foot. Fingers and neuropathy do not help either! However, do not despair, Oxycontin and Oxynorm help with pain management, as does radiotherapy when required. A simple walking stick helps with…[Read more]
Hi Jimbob & thanks for the reply. I fully agree, I feel so sorry for my ever patient husband he must really be fed up with my ailments. I went back to my G.P just before Christmas & apart from the OxyContin & Oxynorm she has changed my medication to see if this helps. This change took place 10 days ago and all this has done is make me feel sick…[Read more]
