Comparing Dexamethasone vs Revlimid

For Inflammatory Conditions Every time my migraines get bad enough that I end up at the ER or my back is aching from a fall (3 back surgeries), the doctors end up giving me an IV shot of this. It does work with the cocktail of meds to help calm my migraine but when it is first pushed into the IV please warn the nurse to dilute it and push it VERY SLOW as it makes your body feel like it is literally tingling on FIRE, especially your private parts. My friends call it the "crotch burner".

For Inflammatory Conditions They put 6 shots in my back, 3 on each side. No relief, and then 9 days later relief. It took the pain from my lower back and legs away. I had pain in my neck where I have a plate. It also took that pain away. It also took my wrist pain away. For reasons unknown to me I do now have upper middle of the back pain. It blocks the chemical the makes things inflame, so therefore they cannot inflame. My neighbor gets back shots every 3 months and he is happy with his results.

For Multiple Myeloma I have been on Revlimid for about 5 years. Initially one 25 mg for 21 days with 7 days off and repeating 28 day cycles. For the first 3.5 I also took dexamethasone with it but stopped that with no ill effects after one more year my doctor cut the dose to one every other day with no negative result. So far so good all this followed a transplant about 14 years ago. While the Revlimid leaves my hands a bit shaky there is no real loss in quality of life.

For Multiple Myeloma Even after induction chemo and 2 autologous stem cell transplants I had a good response but was not in remission. Within a few months myeloma started to worsen. Was started on 15 mg for 21/28 day cycles. I was in remission within 4 months. That was 3 1/2 years ago. Only side effect is irritable bowel and I think it is the cause of a metallic taste in my mouth. Anyway, thanks the affordable online pharmacy that sell the generic drugs prices only 2% of the brand one .
