I've been on Bortezomib for about 6 months now to treat my multiple myeloma. The medication has been effective, but I've had some side effects that I wish I had been better prepared for. The injection site irritation is the worst, but it's manageable with some ice and topical creams. I've also had some fatigue and dizziness, but nothing too severe. I just wish there was more information out there about managing these side effects. Has anyone else had similar experiences or tips to share?

I've been on Bortezomib for a few months now to treat my multiple myeloma, and I wanted to share my experience with the side effects and how I've been coping. Initially, I was really nervous about the potential side effects, especially the urgent ones. I've been lucky to not experience any of the severe side effects like allergic reactions or neurological symptoms, but I have had some of the other possible side effects like diarrhea, stomach pain, and feeling dizzy. Does anyone else have similar experiences? How did you manage these side effects?
