a rash all over my body. I had a rash previously just on my thighs, which I thought was from a new pair of pjs. I stopped my Revlidmid a week early per my doctors instruction. My rash got worse after stopping the medication and now 10 days later it is gone. I had my appointment with my oncologist today and my WBC is down lower 1.6 (normal is 3.9 -10) so I am suseptable to infection but my platelets recovered nicely. I will have my blood count redone next week and the plan is to reduce my dose of Revlidmid. I have been getting cramps in my fingers and he thinks it is because I haven't been taking a calcium supplement. Last May the doctors at Karmanos stopped all my medication and the calcium was never restarted. My doctor just assumed I was taking it. Oh well it is a situation easily solved.
