@colleenyoung @urban60 I was on Revlimid from August 2021 to March 2025, fluctuating from 2.5 to 5 mg doses during that time. In November 2024 my team and I added in Ninlaro [ixazomib] 2.3 mg. On the Revlimid, which was 21 days on, 7 days off, there were several unpleasant side effects, including the "Revlimid rash" and diarrhea. I am being treated for multiple myeloma, and am also a kidney dialysis patient. My situation may not be the most common one around, but working together with my team, we have developed a workable solution.

While each of us has our own journey, and story, I am glad you are reaching out to hear how others experience the medication routes. How are you feeling today?

@githanks for your input Ginger. I am on my 4th month on Lenalidamide 10 mg. 21 day cycle.So far no side effects. I feel just fine. No rash. My platelets dropped to 113 the second month but are back to normal now. So nice to have someone to talk to who has taken this drug!
