Hello,
I have been on a low dosage of Revlimid for the past 8 months and over the past few months my blood count has gradually been going down. I am now anaemic and my consultant has arranged for me to have a blood transfusion. She has told me that Revlimid can sometimes cause anaemia. Have any of you heard of this? Despite becoming anaemic, I have felt better in myself with less pain in my spine and am now concerned as my consultant is talking of stopping the Revlimid.
During the past few months, I have also lost 3" in height. I am told that my ribcage is now resting on my pelvic bone. This is caused by osteoarthritis, another common problem with MM., so I am told by my consultant. Again, I would like to ask my friends out there, if you have come across this problem?
I look forward to hearing from you.
