Any Exper. W/ Velcade Subq Site Reactions? I've Had 2 Reticulated Rashes Also Feeling Shakey Inside And Out For Days After Decadron 40 Po??
Good morning Elise!
I just had my first doses of dexamethasone and Valcade last week. I really didn’t have too much of a reaction to either. I did experience some insomnia and a dull headache off and on for a couple of days. Perhaps, since I’m just beginning my treatment regimen, I had only minimal side effects.
Hang in there my fellow warrior. Remember we’re in this fight together.

I’ve been on velcade since September, I don’t like the reaction, big red and itchy, mildly uncomfortable on my stomach. Also, about 12 hours later I get a days worth of diarrhea! I plan on going for a second opinion in Seattle soon, maybe they will give me a better alternative.
Thank you Rennie!
I had a local reaction to Velcade each time but no itching and seems to resolve in a few days.
