For Multiple Myeloma "My daughter was taking Revlimid for 18 months with good results as that Kappa level went to almost zero. She looked so good, her hair had grown back, kept her job, and was so happy. Suddenly, she became weak, was unable to stand, and tests in the ER indicated she had leukemia. She died in 4 months. I was told that her taking Revlimid led to the leukemia. How can this happen so quickly? It is listed as a side effect."

For Multiple Myeloma "I am on 5 milligrams of Revlimid. I have lower back pain, night sweats, loss of appetite, dry mouth, voice changes, mood swings, always tired and weak, insomnia, having a hard time standing up for very long periods of time. It’s hard dealing with it, but I have to keep taking it for maintenance treatment. I have been in remission for two years. Done July 20, 2025."

For Myelodysplastic Diseases "When I started taking Revlimid I was extremely weak, tired and had no appetite. Eventually, those side effects became more intermittent. Currently, I still have required transfusions with angina and SOB."
