I had to tell my doctor that I was going to see a blood specialist doctor because I had anemia and he kept telling me that not to worry about that it was not that bad. I then went to an oncologist and she order several blood test and she to me that I had multiple myeloma. Please when you feel something is not right don't wait for a doctor to tell not to worry seek help.

[@mooneymooney1565]

How are you now have they managed to help you with your myeloma. I think it's what is happening to me please 🙏 could you give me any advice i would be grateful. Thanks hope you are doing good

@@mooneymooney1565 Always get a sencond, opion some doctors are just making money for the hospitals they work at but there are a few great doctors out there that will lead you in the right direction.

Unfortunately, Most doctors don’t listen to their patients ...

[@YTbobo4u]

Pretty much had to hit mine in the head with a verbal bat to get him to listen to me. They're all the same. Their effing egos make them deaf.

[@martinfricek4787]

Yes doctors are extremely primitive individuals , usually getting their degrees in medicine just to be secured in life but not because of loving the field of medicine or because they want to help patients.

[@CC-pu6qn]

Some don’t even tell patients their diagnosis

I have Kappa at 84 so my doctor asked me if i had bone pain. I played rugby cricket and gymnast for years. I have pain everywhere and wouldn't have the first clue what bone pain was.

[@TheSolitary1]

I was experiencing so many symptoms, even had an abnormal cbc at the er twice and so i went to the doctor last week, i ended up with a diagnosis of anemia and blood work was only slightly off but i know my body. I know its more to it for me

[@KennyGuyte]

Did you get a definitive diagnosis?

How are you doing now?

[@BrandonNaatz]

My total blood protein tests have been between 8.3-8.5 every year for at least 7 years. They are stable but still higher than normal. Is this concerning? My cbc and calcium levels are normal.

[@VictoriaBlancaa]

Heck the protein count…it’s really important and if you can have that test by doctors try searching if in your state you have the chance to buy them without referral

[@sharonadams4424]

I fractured my patella & when they xray my knee they found a bone lesion above my knee..now I'm getting pain in both feet the top bone of my feet severe pain & bottom stiffness I don't know if it's poor circulation or neuropathy..or other what kind of test should I request

[@ohmeowzer1]

Your primary care needs to get you into a oncologist and let him handle it

[@guillaumem9953]

Where I am, doctors don’t even bother listening to you. And when you try to come back on it they become nasty. It’s been a moment since I feel my body wrong, like something isn’t right but nobody listens to me even though I have visible chonic symptoms like anemia, easy bleedings or bleeding that doesn’t go away, nausea, fatigue and weakness, sleeping issues, bruises, night sweats, painful armpits lumps, fever that doesn’t really go away, infections.. Last time I did blood test my platelets number was really low, same with my red cells and my white blood cells number was really high, nobody paid attention to it…And since months now I have bone/joints pain with edema. But my parents say it’s just in my head. Since doctors don’t listen to me I really hope it’s in my head..

[@sensimania]

Get a 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions. See a different doc. How are you feeling now?

[@ABitefLife]

Everything you described is what I’m going through.

[@dawnladuca7938]

GO ASAP TO A SPECIALIST. HEMATOLOGY AND ONCOLOGY PLEASE!!

[@sm.663]

I have fatigue, bone pain, numbness and pain in arms, legs. I'm just 22 its going to be 2 weeks and these symptoms are not going away. My doctor thought I had something in head or in nerves he planned a CT, an xray of neck vertebrae, TSH, blood sugar but all these tests came out absolutely fine. I have some stomach and heart Issues as well nowadays.

[@HTUMyeloma]

Have your doctor run a test called SPEP (serum protein electrophoresis). If you have a monoclonal protein on that test, you could have multiple myeloma. It is an inexpensive test to run.

[@michellepalmer5283]

I found Chris Beats Cancer in August and started his protocol in September. My numbers were going up like crazy but since starting that protocol my numbers are going back down and I have a ton of energy where I used to sleep most of the day.

[@camillebambi6449]

@@amandanichols1988 definitely. Also i had chronic elevated CRP for years but negative ANA and i still have bad rheumatoid arthritis (I am sero-negative). All autoimmune diseases are really hard to diagnose because no one will have all positive tests. And once you have one autoimmune disease, you can get another really easily. I'm currently being tested for lupus (again), MS and multiple myeloma after having a mini stroke at 33. Protein electrophoresis would be your best test. Helped me get diagnosed with RA.

[@amandanichols1988]

Thank you 😊 I'm so sorry to hear you are going through all of that. My RA factor didn't show anything, i dont think. I still havent heard from the dr about what they think it is. Just saw my results on the patient portal. I'm sure it is probably an autoimmune disease. I hope you are able to get a proper diagnoses yourself. I will be sure to ask for the test you recommended 😊

Sometimes Chronic kidney disease could be actually Multiple Myeloma.

[@sl4983]

So could osteoporosis scan actually be multiple myeloma?

[@christicyngier5988]

Have your parathyroid hormone level checked along with calcium. PTH is what it’s called and obviously calcium level too.

[@christicyngier5988]

Overactive parathyroid glands leach calcium out of your bones causing osteoporosis and will eventually cause a multitude of problems in your body.
