How to stay active with multiple myeloma during Darzalex treatment?

Staying active during Darzalex treatment can be challenging, but gentle movement often helps manage fatigue over time. Many patients find success with short walks, light stretching, or chair exercises when energy levels allow, and listening to your body's signals about when to rest versus when to move can make a real difference in maintaining some activity during treatment.

I'll be starting the daratumumab Monday i hope I dont have muscle weakness or fatigue i want to walk my doctor didn't tell me the treatment can be draining i dont feel that way now or tired omg noecim nervous again

Now im nervous again

I have been treated with daratumamab since November of 2024. I have fatigue, but it is not from the drug. Dexamethasone makes you feel great like you could run a marathon. The crash from that is real. This treatment worked for about 18 months, and my IgA started climbing again. Don't overthink it. It helps your immune system.

I had the same problems. Steroids were very rough & now have type 2 diabetes. I swim and have physical therapy in the pool. Has been very helpful. Good wishes!

I actually have the total opposite effect I hardly have any side effects from the injection and the steroids give me so much energy that I can barely sleep at night but the following days that come down can be very rough but I’m sorry to hear about the fatigue yeah I get the opposite effect

I don’t exercise but I’m going to change that I’m going to start exercising to build my muscle strength back
