Hello from San Antonio

by Dalyn V. on Tue Oct 14, 2014 10:17 am

My name is Dalyn. I found out I had multiple myeloma in March of 2013. It will be one year on October 23 since I had my stem cell transplant.

I don't have a computer so doing this on a phone. I've come to a point that I have to reach out to people that are going through the same thing.

These meds are really messing with me. I hear the same thing some of you here "you look great," but we don't feel great.

Anyway, hello everyone.

Dalyn V.

Hi Dalyn,

Thanks for introducing yourself. Sorry to hear that you're not feeling so great these days.

Is there any particular issue that you're having that people here in the forum can help you with? Do you still have side effects from your stem cell transplant, or are you on maintenance therapy and is that creating problems for you?

Whatever it is, we're happy to help.

Ian

It is the Revlimid (10mg). I'm having a lot of pain in my back and sides and neuropathy in my hands and feet. Also, my white count is up and down, which I think has caused me to get a fungus on my toenails (one is almost fallen off), plus I just don't feel good.

There is some great news, though: my M protein is so low they can not give it a number.

Thank y'all so much.

Dalyn V.
