Well, Betty…snicker snort! 😂 Your doctor not having your name correct doesn’t do much to inspire confidence. Oy vey is right!
But your news was great! No MM! I’m doing a happy dance for you! I know the glee is being overshadowed by the Twilight Zone-esque appointment you had and maybe the feeling that the doctor missed something. There are other reasons besides MM and MGUS for light chains to be outside of the normal ranges. But it was important to rule out MM. Besides plasma disorders, conditions like chronic inflammation or an immune system disorder can also cause high levels of free light chains in your blood. You have a number of other health issues that might be causing this. So for now, if this were me, I’d put the MM discussion on the back burner and take try the iron supplements and hope for no constipation. ☺️ By the way, that does seem to be a standard question…

I was happy to see you posted in the Art for Healing support group! ☺️ There are so many of us who rely on our creative side to bring much needed distraction and peace to our body and soul. Wishing you a delightful day. Hopefully you’re feeling much lighter after the non-diagnosis.
Peace ☮️
