@roughanne Yes, that neuropathy is a “b—-h”! I take one Magnesium 400 mg capsule a day and recently changed to taking it in the evening. That seems to help with the foot/leg problems at night.
The exhaustion is probably what I have complained of most but it comes and goes, at least for me. So, I make the most of my bursts of energy and when I get tired I stop and rest. I try not to nap during the day because that affects how well I sleep. But, rest!
And, I too have a bad back. Exercise, damn it😝helps. Get some PT. I have taken Tramadol when I needed it (rarely). I woukd ask your hematologist and your pharmacist about that med (Im unfamiliar with it).
As far as alcohol, I use wine in my cooking but just don’t have much taste for drinking anymore. I do have one Vodka Gimlet for my birthday (old habits die hard) and so far no ill effects. But, I would ask your hematologist.
I’ve been on this journey for about five years. There are worse things!
