As far as the constipation is concerned, I'd advise Senna-S tablet EVERY NIGHT and if that doesn't work, I'd continue to take the Senna-S PLUS a Phillips Milk of Magnesia tablet 500 mg along with it. It is miserable to be constipated. They gave me Lactulose (a prescription) when the above didn't work and it ALWAYS works. jmJudy Malkiewiczhttp://jmmultiplemyeloma.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114773328403392659.post-60202791845290051212013-02-01T02:08:45.819-07:002013-02-01T02:08:45.819-07:00Keep smiling and fighting!!!!Keep smiling and fighting!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114773328403392659.post-1021568861297252332013-01-31T22:03:42.881-07:002013-01-31T22:03:42.881-07:00Love you, Judy!

I also am fighting MM, so will keep you in prayers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114773328403392659.post-90199139610733110522013-01-31T14:24:44.844-07:002013-01-31T14:24:44.844-07:00Judy,
I've never commented on any of your blog...Judy,<br />I've never commented on any of your blog entries, but I read them faithfully, and my mother and I both keep you in our prayers. My mother was diagnosed in October, 2011 (she was 71 at the time) with IgG Lambda Myeloma. Like you, she had no lytic lesions and no kidney impairment, but FISH revealed a intermediate risk cytogenetic profile [del 13, t(4:14)]. She started treatment with Rev/Dex and had a partial response for about 6 months before IgG levels began to climb again. She was then treated with Velcade/Dex, which worked for another 6 months or so. She is now on Carfilzomib/Dex and has just completed her second cycle. Fatigue and constipation are her main issues, but also like you, she has an AMAZING attitude and remains as active as possible. <br />We don't know what the future holds, but every day is a blessing and an opportunity to bless others. I want to thank you for being so transparent and detailed about your entire "adventure" with mm - from treatment, to side effects, to emotions. I doubt you even realize how much your "sharing" and your positive attitude help others who are on this journey.<br />Please keep that wonderful attitude, and thank you again for being such a blessing! We are supporting you all the way! :)<br /><br />Lisa Byland in NCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114773328403392659.post-10277911335096140152013-01-31T13:50:28.542-07:002013-01-31T13:50:28.542-07:00This is a beautifully written synopsis, JM.
