I do miss not getting engrossed in a book, I could read for hours at one time. Will have to get some magazines and look at the pictures.
Have watched that film Jeff and I would say do one task at a time!!

I have started using coconut oil on my nails thanks Dorothy.
I have vertical ridges on all of my fingernails, Karen, they seem to be getting worse just lately.
All these things we have to put up with but we are still here which is good.

Very good responses, my husband, Roger, often tells me that he has told me something which I can’t remember. He is trying not to get too annoyed with me..
Thanks Richard for your outlook on this!

I also felt like a very old lady while on treatment. I had/have the same side effects as you Carol numb toes as well as finger tips.

Hi Amanda, I was on Thalidomide for 12 weeks prior to my stem cell transplant. I must admit that I didn’t feel too good on it I felt like an old woman I was only in my late 50’s but I am still here which is the main thing! Few problems with my hands and feet now they are a bit sensitive I often drop things because I can’t feel them. But be positive. Janet X

Hi Terry
We all have to have a moan when it is right to do so. Ask all the questions you want infact write them down so you don't forget when you do go and see your doctor.
I expect I will be asking questions soon as my PP has just started to rise after 6 years.
Best wishes to you

No one really knows how we feel thats why it is good to go on this forum site.
It is always best to keep positive and not let MM beat us.

Keep with good thoughts

Thanks for all of your replies.
I had my SCT just over 5 years ago, I lost all of my hair and it did come back thick and curly. This past couple of years it has gone dry and brittle. I think that I should have it cut short really wanted to grow it though. Looking at it another way, I am still here even if my hair looks naff :):)
At last, I managed to put a photo of my self and my hubby Roger

All my best wishes

I know that a lot of things have changed after 5 years. I was on Thalidomide, have a few ongoing side affects but at least I was in remission for 5 years.I can also have another stem cell transplant.
