Comment:
On it for 6 months --- Clinical Trial for High Risk Smoldering Multiple Myeloma. Itch -- take Claritin daily / Tired --- Rest alot / Stomach Issues --- Deal with them / Diareah/Constipated --- Each day is different / Headache --- Constant. My thoughts are that if I stop taking it I'll get worse so I deal with it --- some days better than others.
