How to stay active with multiple myeloma during Darzalex treatment?

I have multiple myeloma and am currently getting Darzalex (daratumumab) injections and taking dexamethasone. I've been dealing with fatigue and muscle weakness, which makes it hard to stay active. I came across some helpful tips about starting small with movement - like walking short distances and timing exercise around when I have the most energy. Since my treatment can be pretty draining, I'm wondering how others have managed to stay moving during similar treatments. • What types of gentle movement or exercise worked best for you during treatment? • How did you handle the fatigue and still find energy to be active? I'd love to hear what has worked for others with multiple myeloma, especially if you've been on similar treatments.

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.
