"I have been using Brukinsa for over two years and I am now having difficulties with weight gain and lymphedema in my legs and feet to the point that I am having difficulties walking and getting in and out of a seat, especially in cars. I am looking for help with little success."

"Was totally fatigued and had severe weight loss. Two weeks on Brukinsa, noticed the difference. Taking 160mg in the morning and 160mg in the evening. After taking these for one year, my weight is back to normal, no serious side effects, did have some bruising at the start. Healed quickly."

"My doctor changed from Imbruvica to Brukinsa approximately 8 months ago. My IgM did improve slightly, but a terrible skin rash appeared all over my body accompanied with uncontrollable itching. I blame Brukinsa for that. I now need advice about what to take for my Waldenstrom's condition with fewer side effects."

"I have been taking it for 3+ months and have no bad side effects. It is reducing my M-spikes and most of my blood values have moved back into normal ranges. I couldn't be more pleased!"

"Taking it for over a year and I feel great. No side effects except some occasional bruising. IGM numbers are definitely lower than they were to start and approaching normal."
