Managing Post-SCT Gut Issues: Tips?
AI-generated title
Hi all, My husband is 35 days after SCT. He's doing pretty well all things considered. Blood counts, etc are recovering and some at at normal levels. He's back at work (mostly remote), working out, etc. One thing that's not gotten better is gut issues. First it was the interminable hiccups, then constipation and gas, now it's the feeling of being full very fast and having belly ache, specially at night. He's gotten many different meds, nothing has helped. Is there something that helped folks who had similar symptoms? Thanks! Margarita

Managing New Joint Pain Post-Transplant?
AI-generated title
Hello! I have Kappa Light Chain myeloma, high risk. I had four rounds induction with RVD and first stem cell transplant in September, second in February. Both were auto transplants. During the second, I got sepsis and was put on meds to increase blood pressure, midodrine and fludrocortisone. After I came home, I started developing joint pain. Started in elbow and pinky on left hand, then spread. I have pain in fingers, elbows, knees, and bottom of feet. Worse first thing in morning. Doctor took me off the fludrocortisone about 6 weeks ago, didn't help. Last week decided it could be the Bactrim, so they took me off that as well. So far, no changes. Fingers do swell somewhat overnight. Any ideas? Next step would be Rhuematologist.
