Hi All. Gotta Problem With Weight Gain. I Am Now 40 Pounds Up From When I Started To Take The Dexamethasone 10 Months Ago.
They told me this is normal for dex but 40 pounds and no sense if it stopping. It seems to be exactly one paond going per week. Very consistent. My eating habits have not changed in fact I probably eat a bit less with all the side effects going on. Has anyone out there experienced this level of weight gain from steroids and did it go away when you stopped?.
Hey everyone, thanks for your experiences and opinions. Can't wait to see how much magically comes off and how much has to be worked off.

Question Below About MGUS
I was diagnosed in July 2024 with MGUS, my protein was .03, it is now .04 at the middle of October. My CBC and Metabolic is fine, all in range. The interpetation " Evaluation reveals a faint restricted ban (M spike) migrating in the gamma globulin region" My IgM is at 461. My IFE interpetation; there is a IgM kappa monoclonal band present. If there is anybody that can share insight on what it all means would be greatly appreciated. Jeff
Jeffrey I think you have IgM type of MGUS. It is less common.

What Is Some Of The Strangest Advice From Your Doc?
My doc told me today to never drink water from a place called Barto. It’s a town near me that has fresh spring water that comes out of a metal pipe. Having contaminated water issues apparently. Hoping it’s just a bug and not Revlimid’s revenge. Not my smartest move. Or worst.
@AngieNixon-I was given Claritin for bone pain before I had my SCT and it worked.
