I don't regularly do yogurt, as sometimes the lactose is too much for my system, but do eat a cup a few times a week. This week has been better for me, with the 1 week Rev break :) Let me know on my next post if you have a blog I can follow!

You might want to read this article from The Myeloma Beacon on treating Revlimid induced diarrhrea. <br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/q5ob5js<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Steve <br /><br />p.s. -- Greek yogurt worked wonders for me a couple of years ago when I was suffering IBS-like issues....lost 40 lbs in about 6 months as food would just go straight through me, until I began eating the Greek yogurt for breakfast everyday. Had great results in just 4 or 5 days and was back to normal in about 10 days!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-67966533971256815032015-02-17T11:01:13.303-08:002015-02-17T11:01:13.303-08:00Hi Vivienne! thanks for checking in!

I am overwhelmed with Jimmy's medical situation, but he's one LUCKY guy to have you as his #1 gal taking care of him, supporting him, and being there for him! I love your blog updates, and I'm going there now to check Jimmy's status. You two hang in there, and it will all be a distant memory in no time! xoxo Julie Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773473100504931050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-80568207160999407602015-02-17T10:58:47.439-08:002015-02-17T10:58:47.439-08:00Hi Linda! thanks so much for checking in and cheer...Hi Linda! thanks so much for checking in and cheering me on. Hoping all is wonderful in your beautiful life. I miss your blog updates, and beautiful pictures. Hope you return to updating on your and your family's adventures once in a while and also on EZ's status. Is he still on Rev maintenance? Nice to hear from you! xoxo JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773473100504931050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-91009284678194873402015-02-14T12:26:06.222-08:002015-02-14T12:26:06.222-08:00Yes Julie, you write about this so well. It's...Yes Julie, you write about this so well. It's such a sad reflection and you've actually made me feel better now. What is it about not being able to come to terms with it? I don't know, maybe you're not meant to. <br /><br />I hope you manage on your new doses of Revlimid. There seems to be no getting away from that number 15! You are such a positive person and you have such a great sense of humour so surround yourself with the people who care and be happy.<br />xxVivienne Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03957487699158311859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-39077087414588463372015-02-13T14:15:54.250-08:002015-02-13T14:15:54.250-08:00I'm sorry Julie...not the news anyone wants to...I'm sorry Julie...not the news anyone wants to hear, and I think you beautifully express the reality and true feelings of so many. It's just plain hard dealing with Multiple Myeloma, in every way, and not the way one envisions their life. We all hope that current treatment options will help patients hold on until the day when something changes the status from "incurable" to "curable"! <br /><br />I laughed so hard at the picture of the leather "potty" chair...that looks awesome! Thanks for keeping your sense of humor...we all need that, whether caregivers or patients! I'm praying your new regimen is tolerable and that it effectively beats the MM beast back into submission! Stay hopeful never forget to stop and smell the roses whenever you can. Much love from EZ and I!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624367358276749264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6542378222548786727.post-16134309734629158402015-02-10T23:15:53.562-08:002015-02-10T23:15:53.562-08:00Thank you Ron for your continued support and encou...Thank you Ron for your continued support and encouragement. Some days the reality of my situation really hits me... then other days, I'm thinking it's all just a surreal joke. It's crazy how unpredictable my side effects, and days are, but I am grateful to still be here! Thank you for always checking in Ron!
