It started with Anemia about 18 months ago. Then I was diagnosed with MGUS. About 3 months ago my hematologist/Oncologist decided we needed to do a total body CAT scan and Bone marrow Biopsy. Both of these procedures were done early December. The CAT scan came back clean and the BM numbers were off enough to be diagnosed with WM. I have symptoms of fatigue and paresthesia which sometimes makes me crazy. I am anemic, stay around 10 HGb with normal viscosity and platelets and WBC. IGM is 1200. I am a vibrant 75 year old with 15 grandchildren and a very active life. For now my doctor and I have decided to wait and see what happens with my symptoms before considering treatment. Bloodwork to be repeated in March. I am wondering if other patients have this paresthesia? It doesn't seem to be something that others complain about. I live in Los Angeles and we are a medical family which is not always the best. I am also wondering how important it is to get the genetic testing for the 2 genes that usually goes along with this diagnosis. I have a son and grandson that have illnesses connected with B-cell abnormalities. I am happy to have you out there. Now that the holidays are over, I need to get a better handle as to how this disease will effect my life. Thank You.
