I used those chemicals, and maybe you did too: <A HREF="http://myelomahope.blogspot.com/2008/06/agent-orange.html" REL="nofollow">Agent Orange</A>Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923592545983795350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2360289389250928913.post-51078629527902624582008-06-16T03:40:00.000+00:002008-06-16T03:40:00.000+00:00You're getting me interested in solar.

With some storage mechanism (batteries, water tower, whatever) I wonder how much wattage a home really needs. Gotta go look at my electric bill, see how many watt-hours we use ...<BR/><BR/>I took thalidomide for a while, 50 mg per day, no steroid. It was actually quite tolerable - worst side effect was a rash. But 100 mg may be a different story, and that's a lot of prednisone.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I mentioned - I am on a trial of CC-4047, the next thing after Revlimid. Probably not available in Scotland yet except in a trial, but I do know that there has been (may still be?) at least one Phase I trial in the UK. Some people for whom Revlimid fails do find that CC-4047 works, and the side effects are generally less. I'm responding to it, whereas I did not really respond to thalidomide. Haven't tried Rev yet.<BR/><BR/>If your current regimen is working you wouldn't want to change it, but you might keep your eye out for a trial in the UK just in case.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923592545983795350noreply@blogger.com
