I suddenly developed Trigeminal Neuralgia (most painful thing I have ever had). Neurologist requested some lab work and the M factor appeared. As you say, I am currently seeing a Hematologist in 3 month intervals with lab work. As I have said at 92 and all the other life medical problems, this just seems like one more blip on the horizon. I have buried almost all of my family including my daughter, and have only my son to worry about now, so I am happy to have one more day and the blessings of God. I have two knee replacements, two hip replacements, a shoulder replacement, and a double Mastectomy (one a Radical) and I am still living pretty much on my own. I am probably one of the luckiest woman alive. Thank you for your kind words, they certainly help make it one more day.
