Thank you so much for your input, very much appreciated. The flank pain did go away shortly after my July 28 ER visit. My Doctor did put in for a referral to the Neurology dept. I called them twice, and they are as slow as molasses. I also told my DO I called them twice, and she said she cannot call them to rush through my "Triage" case. I can't afford to pay out of pocket, so I will have no choice to wait this out. All I am asking my DO is to dig further what is going on with me. She told me I am not showing "Symptoms" of MM, so I am guessing she is going by gauges of near end stage? to finally take notice. Who knows. I did send a My Chart message about getting the specific tests looking for the M protein so I am awaiting for her response. I do not harbor the symptoms of AML. My Symptoms as of current are neuropathy and sporadic bone pain.
I am sorry you have been dealing with so much. I hope and pray you are feeling better. I will check out all the links you shared, and that was a very kind gesture on your part, thank you so much~ I have been keeping track with symptoms and dates. I will never forget July 26. When this all began out-of-no where full body neuropaty.

Really sorry this is happening. Even if they don’t think MM is present, there are many differential diagnoses directions they would validly investigate instead of just labelling you with anxiety as the cause of your symptoms..I feel like being anxious with being silenced and basically ignored is justified, especially with your symptoms not being thoroughly investigated at this time.
I hope you get some response from a proactive specialist.. what you’re going through sounds like the system in Australia, where people struggle with this approach for years before getting any legitimate investigations and then get taken seriously. I myself was told repeatedly I had munchausens for years before I was referred for tests, and found to be telling the truth and in fact was not lying for the purpose of receiving attention (munchausens) while those doctors snort derisively right in my face.
I hope you can find proactive care, and get some investigation into your symptoms 🌺
