Revlimid

Hi Cheri,
Perhaps you should have continued to take Revlimid 5 mg every other day - your WBCs are very low and we know that you can get pneumonia or other infections. The platelets can decrease fast too.

Skin symptoms are common when you take Revlimid http://www.emedicinehealth.com/drug-...article_em.htm. If you have had the skin symptoms before Revlimid it must be something else eventually an allergic reaction.

When you feel very ill you should really not take Exjade like Greg wrote. Iron overload is not as dangerous as infections or bleeding so the counts are much more important for us.

Hope your GI symptoms will decrease with the light food!
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
