I was always on 4mg of Pomalyst and never had any side effects.

I started with 2 mg in April 2023. My kappa light chains begin increasing in March so we increase the mg to 3. The kappa number did go down but in May we noticed an increase. So we are watching the numbers, if they increase we will begin 4 mg. The leg spasms will occur if I miss a day of tonic water.

Hey Merri, would you and your doctors consider adding a different drug with Pomalyst? I take Pomalyst 2mg with Darzalex faspro. I have been lucky on this combination so far.

I only took Pomalyst (lowest dose) for two weeks. I developed a rash and my ALT was over 400 and AST was over 700. The ALT an AST are measures of the liver functions. I am never to take Pomalyst again! I, also, had breathing problems while on it.
