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

Hi Mavis
What was the problem with your legs pls, well before I started treatment my legs were very weak and wobbly, just feel like I am going to fall over, not much control at all, but for this I would be fine, no pain at all.
