Revlimid
I hope you do have a long run on Revlimid. I was on it for 27 days, 10mg, and my counts dropped really low. I had a 103 fever on top of the low counts and was admitted for iv antibiotics. After 4 days, I was discharged. In the hospital, I received 4 untis of rbc's and my hgb came back up to 8.6. Surprisingly, after discharge my hgb hit a high of 10.3 and has been very slowly dropping to a current 8.4 over the last 4 weeks. I don't know if this is due to the Revlimid or to the shark liver oil I have been taking since my discharge from the hospital. Anyway, my Dr. wants to get me back on the REvlimid at a lower dosage of 5mg and hopefully stabilize my counts. It has been nice not needing transfusions every week. Time will tell.
