Seeking Tips for Managing Severe Bone Pain
AI-generated title
Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you about the bone pain, the lytic lesions that occur in MM, the effectiveness of zoledronic acid (zometa), and the fractures that arise during this disease. My dad started with pain in his femur, there is post-relapse wear and tear. He is currently receiving daratumumab (dartzalex), pomalidomide, dexamethasone, gabapentin, fluconazole, acyclovir, etc., but for pain, I can't find anything more practical than tramadol and with fewer side effects. Thanks a lot

Managing Weight Gain On Dex - Experiences?
AI-generated title
Could someone please give me their experiences with taking Dex? Does everyone gain weight with this drug? Does it make your appetite increase and is that what causes weight gain? If you control your appetite, can you control the weight gain? Thank you.

My request has two parts: 1) Besides searching the HealthTree clinicaI trial search function and SparkCures, I would like to find other sources with clinical trial information, such as NIH and others, and 2) I would appreciate guidance on whether there are medical centers, NIH, etc. that provide compensation for travel and lodging expenses.
