Hi Tom

thank you for your response………. I know what you mean  about the tiredness I only had my 2nd injection of Velcade last Thursday and I was completely wiped out for the weekend  although I seem to remember  last time the steroids also bothering me

Hi Rebecca

Many thanks for taking the time to respond ……… I understand I will be having another SCT  and am hoping it will work as well again .   I will be careful of the neuropathy

hope you are both well.

Take care.

Hi I was diagnosed with myeloma in 2006 and had a SCT in November of that year.  In 2008  I developed shingles on my neck and scalp and across my chest however  but this was misdiagnosed by my doctor  for 4weeks.  I eventually ended up in hospital for a week .    I have been experiencing severe pain ever since  and have been subscribed pregabalin  (2 x 300 mg)  which helps a lot with the pain .  I have also been prescribed the use of a “pain patch” Transtec  52.5  transdermal patch  which is used for cancer pain  and this has also helped .  My problem was that it was some weeks before  I was treated correctly but I understand that if you receive treatment as early as possible then hopefully the pain will not last for too long.

 

June
