Mom has myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with deletion 5q and started 5mg of Revlimid this week. One day on and one day off. She is having many side effects like nosebleed, gums bleeding, stomach pain, constipation, hard time sleeping, fatigue. Just wondering if any of you that take it may have started out the same but now manage it well?

Hi Ana, welcome. I'm sorry to hear that your mom is experiencing such difficult side effects with Revlimid (lenalidomide). I moved your message to this existing discussion about Revlimid so that you can connect with fellow members like @devehf @pom @1nan @wycowgirl307 @5qdeletion @gmajudy, who have experience with this drug, either themselves or someone they care for.

Have you reported your mom's side effects to the symptom management nurse or oncologist? Have they offered any suggestions?
