Has anyone else encountered this? Did you stay with Revlimid?

I did after 5 years. It was very mild and did not leave any side effects. I was already on Eliquis because I had had 2 episodes of atrial fib. Dr. Took the Rev down to 5 mg. And it never happened again.

I was changed from Revlimid after about 8 years (no clots, just not responding). I was put on Pomlymist for about 10 years (I think, time uncertain) Then my Oncologist took me off it and I am not taking anything at this time
I am sorry I didn't answer your question, but I wanted share what I had happen to me. I guess everyone's trip is individual.
I hope this helps you understand your story. Gary Dias
I have been living with MM since 1999 diagnosis. Every new day is a blessing.

I was initially on aspirin but still got a clot in my leg on Revlimid now just take Eliquis 2.5 mg BID and 10 mg of Revlimid FYI Eliquis is expensive you can get a grant for help paying from healthwell fund
