Has Anyone Taken Revlimid? Does Anyone Take B12 Shots? Thank You

As I get my chemo in the room with others, I notice 99% of us are getting the exact same treatment. I understand it but in a way, I don't. Yes, I'm going to speak with my doctor.

I take Revilimid 25mg been taking it for 2 years, 21 days then off 7. I take a low dose aspirin everyday because Revilimid can cause blood clots. Also take a velcade shot 1x a month. I take 1200mg of calcium a day, vitamin C, vitamin B complex and Vitamin D3 along with a multi vitamin. I am in remission and hoping I stay that way

I have been on Revlimid at 15 mg for 21 days , 7 days off as maintenance. I am in complete response remission for nearly 4 years. I take Viactiv for calcium and vitamin D ,B12 , low dose aspirin.

I've been on revlemid 6
months. Went from 25 mg to 15 mg last month. I'm grateful for this medicine. Not much reaction. Tired a good bit.

I started for 4 months with 25 mg for 21 days on, 7 days off. Then moved to 15mg for same time frames, 21 on and 7 days off. I wondered what folks are taking for maintenance.

Hi Corazon
I’ve been on Revlimid for 3 years now. I started out 25 mg, too much for me. Then 15, now I’m on 10mg. 21 days on 7 days off. I’m in partial remission, I’ve never reached complete.
Also my husband has smoldering myeloma with some kidney issues that we’re checking out now🤷🏽‍♀️. Take care!
