Coping with symptoms and side-effects

The terms ‘symptoms’ and ‘side-effects’ refer to different things. Throughout the information provided by Myeloma UK, the term ‘symptoms’ refers to the problems you experience as a direct result of the myeloma, while ‘side-effects’ refers to the problems you experience as a result of the treatment for the myeloma. Sometimes, however, there is an overlap between the two.

This section deals with both the symptoms of myeloma and the potential side-effects of its treatment and gives practical information on how to prevent, treat, or manage them.
