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.

Hi I had several small strokes 8 years after revlimid. I think they came right after the Covid vaccine. With that the dr stopped my rev maintenance. That was 21/2 years ago. My numbers were great for most of the 8 years, and we never knew the cause. MM can also cause strokes by mine had been under control for so long that didn’t make sense either. 🤷🏻‍♀️

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.
