  • Hi Tim

    just been reading your post, were you on the dex and thalomide, if so did you have any side affects, I am on the cdt trial with dex and thal. most of the time I feel light headed and my legs are very weak and wobbly, feel like I have no control at all, would be interested to know if you had any of those symptoms.

    Take care
