    I had to tell my doctor that I was going to see a blood specialist doctor because I had anemia and he kept telling me that not to worry about that it was not that bad. I then went to an oncologist and she order several blood test and she to me that I had multiple myeloma. Please when you feel something is not right don't wait for a doctor to tell not to worry seek help.

    Where I am, doctors don’t even bother listening to you. And when you try to come back on it they become nasty.
    It’s been a moment since I feel my body wrong, like something isn’t right but nobody listens to me even though I have visible chonic symptoms like anemia, easy bleedings or bleeding that doesn’t go away, nausea, fatigue and weakness, sleeping issues, bruises, night sweats, painful armpits lumps, fever that doesn’t really go away, infections..
    Last time I did blood test my platelets number was really low, same with my red cells and my white blood cells number was really high, nobody paid attention to it…And since months now I have bone/joints pain with edema. But my parents say it’s just in my head.
    Since doctors don’t listen to me I really hope it’s in my head..

My doctor thought I had something in head or in nerves he planned a CT, an xray of neck vertebrae, TSH, blood sugar but all these tests came out absolutely fine. I have some stomach and heart Issues as well nowadays.

      Have your doctor run a test called SPEP (serum protein electrophoresis). If you have a monoclonal protein on that test, you could have multiple myeloma. It is an inexpensive test to run.

      @@amandanichols1988 definitely. Also i had chronic elevated CRP for years but negative ANA and i still have bad rheumatoid arthritis (I am sero-negative). All autoimmune diseases are really hard to diagnose because no one will have all positive tests. And once you have one autoimmune disease, you can get another really easily. I'm currently being tested for lupus (again), MS and multiple myeloma after having a mini stroke at 33. Protein electrophoresis would be your best test. Helped me get diagnosed with RA.
