Does anyone else have pain while in remission? I am always tired; I still take Revlimid. Any advice is appreciated

Thanks for your reply. I go to the gym 5 days a week, I do think staying active helps. I had my SCT in Aug 2022. Good luck with your ASCT

Stacy,
I was told I was in remission before I started my 4th cycle of VDDR. WAS feeling great. Playing racquetball 2-3x/week. Mentally flying high. Three weeks later, developed sore, achey muscles in legs as well as weakness in left leg. Now if I'm on my feet for more than 30 minutes I feel exhausted. It seems this muscle soreness and fatigue is pretty common with MM. One of the most striking features to me is how unpredictable each day is. I have found that the muscle soreness is less noticeable if I stay active. It seems almost any activity helps as a distraction. Just have to remember to slow down and rest when necessary. I'm scheduled for ASCT in 3 weeks and hoping for complete re-set after that even though I know that might not be possible. I take strength in knowing that many people before me have experienced the same thing and have been able to adapt, even though though their lives may have changed. Stay strong.
