It's been several months since I last posted. Unfortunately I'm still on the waiting list to see the myeloma specialist. The good news is I'm still seeing the hematologist who diagnosed me with MGUS and i was told things look stable, but I'm suddenly not well anymore. It started back in November. I came down with shingles on my back, then I caught a bad virus, then I suddenly began to see floater in front of my eyes. Then I started to have sudden pain in the back of my knee on my fibula? And just general aches and pains all over my body. It's gotten so bad I'm limping now and I can barely bend my knee.
My general practitioner ran some tests and determined I was slightly iron deficient again and I'm vitamin D deficient. There is on reason why I'm anemic again. I no longer have a period because i have a Mirena . GP then sent me to get an xray on my knees and I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis and I'm only 38 years old.
I'm very concerned I'm progressing, but I was told I couldn't be because there is only a 1% chance per year. I have an abnormal free light chain ratio of 2.33. I know its not too out of range, but not normal either.
I'm just getting frustrated because I'm constantly being dismissed when I complain about how I'm feeling.
