How far to push?
I have mulitple myeloma and I have been in chemo for 3 years. I am trying to decide how far to push myself as I am
tired all the time with the new revlamid I am on along with
the dex and velcade. My mind is playing games with me too, I just feel so foggy. I went for a half walk yesterday and
layed down the entire afternoon. My legs were so stiff and tired. What do you do? I just started the revlamid a week ago and have been on the others for 2 years after stem cell transplants. Maria
I happen to live near a city and have incredible drs. They give me a lot of hope. There is another drug coming out soon that is very close to velcade, a drug so often used with m.myeloma. I do alternative therapies often too. It is very hard to not get discouraged especially in the beginning when things are so fresh. There is so much information you have to absorb. If you can find a way to take it slow, I would recommend it.

I stumbled upon your entry, it struck me because a few months ago my boyfriend was diagnosed with the same. Sounds like you have been fighting for a long time now. Have you ever considered alternative therapy? You must be incredibly strong and made it through the transplant… it amazes me because I’ve been so dissapointed and disallusioned and I’ve only been dealing with this world for a few months. Good luck.
