Thanks Katy .I was unlucky I got Covid a couple of weeks after my Al Amyloidosis diagnosis and that put me on Dyalis and Daratumab at the same time.Thanks for your prayers.Best Regards Eugene.
I am experiencing daily bouts of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and extreme drops in blood pressure. For the past 2 months now. I am currently in CHR and have been done with chemo for one month. Didn’t have any of these issues while on treatments. Any thoughts or similar issues out there? I’m just wondering if it’s the Amyloidosis or a result of nerve damage from the chemo? I’ve had bacterial and parasite tests done but no evidence of either. Also had a recent echocardiogram which was normal. No-one… read more
How about a cardiac MRI?
Has anyone with Amyloidosis received more than 24 injections of Darazalex Fastpro?

Thanks for any and all replies.
Jim
I’m prescribed Darzalex 1x/month now
I am getting velcaide injections every other week. Sometimes I have stiffness in my back and swelling in my lower legs. Sometimes use Tylenol for pain and was given tramadol. I don't want to use too much pain medicine. Any suggestions? Injections are working to lower protein numbers.
I know it’s uncomfortable but keep moving. Walking is great.
My husbands EGFR dropped from 37 to 27 after 3rd chemo treatment, has anyone else experienced this?
We are extremely fortunate in the aspect that he is 100% VA disabled, so we pay nothing for treatment. I always say you can find something good in something bad! Ernie said thank you😘
My husband was taken off toporol after years of taking it and amlodipine to control his blood pressure. He is now taking Lisinopril and doxazosin and his blood pressure has steadily increased even though the doctor has increased the meds.
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. I know you are going through a very trying time.
