Jim, I know that finding the right MD is the toughest part of chronic illness. My serum FreeLightChain protein in the blood was running at about 250 mg/24hr, back in September, which means FLCDD. And I have high eosinophils, and anemia, and biopsy proven cancers in prostrate, stomach, esophagus, thyroid, and proven amyloidosis in my eyes, skin, and very bad edema in R leg and foot, with a large thrombus in the lower lobe of each lung, with kidney and liver failure. Yet my doctors refuse to do another FLC test. All this proven by Mayo. and cortex white matter deposits. I am now in the search for MDs who will take this setup seriously. Where do I go next?

What's your chief complaint? I suppose you've seen various specialists. If I were in your place, where I would want to go would be easy - Heaven! No more lists of illnesses, doctors or meds. That's what I'm looking forward to.

I've been fortunate to have had some good doctors, including a pain specialist.
