I've been on Bortezomib 2.5mg Inj for a few months now as treatment for my multiple myeloma. I wanted to share my experience and see if anyone else has dealt with similar side effects. Has anyone else found effective remedies for the nausea and fatigue? It's been a real challenge to manage these symptoms while getting through daily life. I've tried eating smaller meals and taking ginger, but the fatigue seems unavoidable after an infusion. Overall, I've found the treatment to be effective, but the side effects can be tough. I'd love to hear from others about managing these symptoms and any tips they might have. It’s a tough journey, but sharing experiences can really help us all get through it. My doctor has been helpful, but I know the community here can offer some unique insights!

Side effects are tough, but I think Bortezomib is worth it. The toughest part is the fear of the unknown—we need to stay positive and keep fighting. Keep sharing your experiences, and remember, you're not alone in this battle.

I’m on the same boat. If anyone has tips on managing peripheral neuropathy, I’d be grateful. It’s brutal.

I feel you on the fatigue – it’s like hitting a wall every time. I found that staying hydrated and taking short naps during the day helps a bit. Also, talk to your doctor about any medications that could help with the nausea.

I've been on Bortezomib for over a year now, and while the side effects are tough, the treatment has been a lifesaver. I’d say give it time, and don’t be afraid to talk to your oncologist about adjusting doses or adding supportive care meds. Also, keep a symptom diary to track what helps and what doesn’t.

I've had issues with bruising and bleeding. It’s scary at first, but my doctor assured me it’s a known side effect. I keep a close eye on any cuts or injuries, and I always make sure to inform my doctor about any unusual symptoms.
