Kay…thanks again for your feedback. Most appreciated..according to what I’ve read so far, since I’m on eliquis a blood thinner..supplements like turmeric and garlic are not recommended as they serve the same purpose or have the same result. But I do have another question ..re diet..I have scheduled appointment with dietician/nutrition next week. Have cut back on sweets, bread, processed food…and have amped up my exercise appreciably…yesterday I felt pretty pretty normal, but most days I feel low energy and almost nauseated..not sure if and when this feeling goes away with diet change and exercise over longer period. Thanks again. Stay well
Bob

@bigbob5461 Just as there are so many ways to handle your diet, there are the stories you will hear here on Connect.

I was diagnosed with a very rare kidney disease in 2015, and had been following a sound renal diet for many years before that. In 2017 came MGUS, in 2018 it advanced into Smoldering Myeloma, and in 2019 advanced again to active Multiple Myeloma. Yep, I am an overachiever, definitely!

My renal diet of reduced sodium, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, red meat, dairy foods seem to have stood me in good graces with this foray into blood cancer. Keeping active as much as you feel like it, doing things that appeal to you to keep you interested, as @kayabbott has mentioned, all sleeves in together to keep your spirits and body in good form.

Please let us know what the dietician has to say!
