New Year Survival Tips






The holidays can be joyous with plenty of cheer, but as we leave those festivities of 2017; you may continue to fester the continued reality of your multiple myeloma. The reminder that beginning or continuing your goals to beating this illness is still fresh and a part of your new year's resolution. 

New Year Starter Survival Tips
Family and Friend Time
I know many embraced the time they have with loved ones for the holiday, but now more than ever you'll need that bond for 2018.  Having those who care for you no matter what life brings your way can settle your peace of mind. The elephant in the room is real - now it's time to beat this with those who you trust to hold your hand through the process.
 

Eating Resolutions
Okay, the holidays are over and if you're lucky you've gained a few pounds. I say this as too often we can't stomach a lot due to the exhausting meds. Well now it's time to stay on a regimen that allows you to intake a proper diet. Though some are fortunate to eat without any issues, care should still be taken in building those necessary nutrients.

Vitamins
Popping another pill while going through other medication can be daunting; However, adding vitamins to your regimen is a must! A multivitamin can help build up a weak immune system. The research is out there, it's just a matter of finding the right fit.


Reflection of the Future
At some point that elephant has to be addressed, and addressing your new life with a positive " I can beat this attitude" makes all the difference in the world. Get your game plan ready to move ahead in treatment, new team, clinical trials, whatever it is to allow you to move forward. 

Cheers my fellow MM survivors- may the New Year be positive, prosperous and healthy….Smile, You’ll get through this.

Peace!

Plugging Multiple Myeloma

I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend on the trials of myeloma, and it was interesting that we’ve both experienced to some degree the nonchalant reactions when faced with our disease. The saying to walk a mile in one's own moccasins could never be far from the truth, sometimes you get the feeling that no one cares or your cause and or experience is not of interest...., or better yet taken seriously.... I'm reviewing various sources to promote Another Face of Multiple Myeloma , and after extensive research I found there a not many books on patient related experiences, which I find odd, with the exception of popular myeloma blogger Pat Killingsley, I found just two other personal stories from author's penned memoirs on myeloma, and one unfortunately passed away and the other I'm desperately trying to gather contact information. I was in the process of working with a top myeloma foundation to present my book to readers that could possbly relate to my experi...
