I hope I am on track not to miss any doses but will know in the next few days. I would not be so desperate to get to remission if I did not have the 24/7 issues with my t8. I have mild pain almost every waking hour. It isn’t to the level of taking pain medication but I never can feel totally well. I am not sure what can be done but apparently nothing until I am in remission. It just seems so interminable and now I am having the other issues of swelling and liver in top of that. I know I am lucky not to have had kidney damage. I was beginning to have issues around the time I was diagnosed but that happened before any damage was done. I guess if it is the Enoxaparin it may clear once I no longer am on it but not sure how long that might be. I sure hope that is the case. I was a bit disappointed that my IGG went from 1800 to 1317 but after this second round only to 1150. That is right in the middle of the range but not sure what significance that has. I know I need to be upbeat but hard for me since I was in such a good place last Fall and I blew it by not getting the second opinion then and with my constant reminder that I have damage. I know there is hope that I can get to the transplant so I should focus there. I so hope you can get to remission. It seems like the right strategy with the kidney issues. I guess not much we can do but see how it all plays out. That said, just one of my down days which will likely come every time I get to the Revlimid renewal window!!! At least while I am taking it I feel as if I am making some progress!!!

@tml Check to see if you can use a warm compress, or massage in the T8 area where you have pain? Also, CBD cream applied topically might work for you.

Please do not beat yourself up for the hiccup in the road last Fall, okay? That is water under the bridge, now.

And as for the slight rash, that is really common. I had a more severe rash on my lower legs area at the beginning, Just used Vitamin E cream to clear it up, and make sure I keep the area moisturized well. My dermatologist wanted to give me a steroid cream, but "nope" from me! Remember, each time you get to the renewal window, your body is at its lowest point for red blood cells and all, so you may feel more tired, more emotional. It comes with the territory.
