@meg1685 I struggle with protein levels also. In addition to the multiple myeloma, I am an end stage kidney patient, on daily dialysis. Dialysis is notorious for depleting protein stores. What has worked for me is to focus on quality protein. Chicken, fish, turkey, almost no red meat. And I make my own protein shakes, using blueberries, Greek yogurt, almond milk, and protein powder. These shakes are simple to make, and fill me up!

When we are going through these health concerns, reaching out like you have done for others' thoughts and experiences can be invaluable. I am also on dexamethasone, 12mg once a week. Moderate exercise, and mindful living. It's hard, and sometimes I feel like I am hyper-focused on myself. I watch the scale every morning [gotta take vitals each day!] and feel disappointed when it goes up.

Let's see what others have to say about getting our protein levels up!
