Revlimid and colonoscopy.
I had a colonoscopy 7:30 am, yesterday.
I don't think proper attention was given to the fact that I am on Revlimid and already had diarrhea.
It's been terrible since.
I should have quit Revlimid until I had the colonoscopy. Or just skipped the colonoscopy.
If you're having diarrhea related to Revlimid, I recommend being very careful about how you go about the cleansing associated with a colonoscopy.
This is terrible. I'm wide open to suggestions.
I'm choosing to NOT add a photo. You can thank me later

@jrsav So, I'll say "thank you" in lieu of a picture! I have been on a break from Revlimid since May for my multiple myeloma, but I continue to have gastric upset. It could be a new-permanent-for-me thing, could be a side effect of dialysis, or meds, or everything combined! I know it is not real comfortable.
Thank you on behalf of all of us on Revlimid, for letting us know your experience. Is a bland diet helping at all? Or perhaps the anti-nausea meds your dr prescribed previously?

2 ReactionsI have heard the side effects of Revlimid progressively worsen and can sometimes be permanent.
I'm doing much better today
I took the max of all the antidiarrheals I had here.
Cholesterimine, Clobestol, and the over the counter stuff.
I got the diarrhea stopped.
I just hope I'm not stopped up now.
I'm kind of scared for the next movement. I'm still very tender. LOL
A. Lot of preparation H hasn't helped much
