I have been diagnoses with multiple myeloma in Nov,2014. Up till now no chemo as I have an infection on my chest. I have been on an antibiotic protocol 3 days a week...2 azithromycin,3 ethambutol, 2 rifadin. It has been 6 weeks since I started and I notice my tooth enamel is eroding and there are patches of black. Have not seen my dentist yet? Any connection between tooth enamel and antibiotics or multiple myeloma?Thanks
