Hi
I am a 60 year old female.
I hope you guys don't mind me being on here with not yet having been diagnosed. I had a myeloma blood test about a year ago on the basis I was getting a lot of rib pain. I know the M protein is present in people with myeloma, and of course anaemia etc. I was told I had a small amount and the GP didn't seem too concerned so I left it at that. A year on, the rib pain is getting worse and from when I look up the symptoms, I have a couple (I do know they can be attributed to many other things). I get a sensation in front of my chest too, both sides not just on left, and lots of joint pain, ribs and back. I have also noticed I have been getting breathless more often and incredibly fatigued. I would just be very grateful to those of you would be happy to tell me about their symptoms before they were diagnosed. I am waiting to see what my GP says and if they will test me again. I don't have great confidence in GP's assessments currently as they are under so much pressure. I work for the NHS and and am aware that things can slip through the net.
Many thanks in advance.
