Hi Ginger, I am sorry to hear that you are on chemotherapy. I hope that you are feeling better soon. My M gradient has been rising steadily over the years, and faster over the past 2 years . How were your symptoms before chemotherapy? Did you have any fractures?
All the best

@mascot No, I did not have any fractures they can pinpoint. I had many testing procedures including nerve conduction study [definitely not for the weak-hearted!] in both legs, MRIs, CAT scans and X-rays. There is nerve involvement in my left hip area that causes weakness and contributes to the neuropathy of my left leg and foot.

As you have no doubt read, everyone is a bit different even when we are in the same boat. Being an overachiever, I progressed fairly rapidly through MGUS and smoldering myeloma, to the myeloma. As a chronic kidney disease patient, now on dialysis, there was that factor also playing into everything.

Have you had fractures?
