I am so glad to hear from you. I know I am not alone, but I just can not stop crying. I did not have any symptoms until 3 days ago when oncologist mentioned MM. I am just worried and every little hurt is magnified now. Wondering if that is normal.
I am devastated, the news came so out of the blue
Are you tired all the time and have pain?
What concerns my Dr. is the high M spike.
I am being so depressed.
Is Versed a pill one takes shortly before procedure?
Thanks so much for replying to my
Post.

Hi @helchen,

Versed is one of several brand names of the drug midazolam, which is given before and during surgeries and some medical procedures to induce drowsiness, relieve anxiety. It’s available as a syrup or as an injection, and is given only by or under the direct supervision of your doctor. Here’s some more information: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/midazolam-injection-route/description/drg-20064813

@helchen Yes, I am tired a lot of the time, but there are other factors that may be contributing to that. I am anxious to review the latest bloodwork results to see if there is any change to be concerned with. Right now I have only partial returns. Do you have family or friends nearby that you can reach out to? You know the saying about friends: "they double the joy, and halve the grief and worry". You will need a driver for the biopsy if you get Versed. We care, and hope you will keep in touch with us.
