Yes, it can be normal for someone in deep remission from multiple myeloma to experience extreme fatigue and neuropathy. Here are some key points:

- Fatigue: Fatigue is a common side effect of multiple myeloma and its treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and corticosteroids. Even after stopping treatment, fatigue can persist due to the body's ongoing recovery process.

- Neuropathy: Peripheral neuropathy is a frequent complication of multiple myeloma and its treatments. Symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and feet can continue even after treatment has ended. Some people experience neuropathy for years, and in some cases, it may not fully go away.

It's important to consult with your husband's healthcare team to manage these symptoms effectively and ensure his quality of life.
