We don’t have a diagnosis yet for my 19 year old daughter who is a type 1 diabetic. But she’s been feeling sick for over 2 years. We have seen a heart dr because of racing heart, being out of breath, and dizzy spells, nausea , headaches, paleness .They couldn’t find anything wrong. Then a gastroenterologist did a Endoscope and a colon scope. They diagnosed her with gastritis and put her on some kind a heartburn pill. Diagnosed her with just constipation because she stays constipated all the time and put her on a pill for that. She just feels fatigued no matter how much sleep she gets. Then she started having back pain this past August around her kidney area. Went to the local Doctor who diagnosed her with a UTI and put her on anabiotic‘s. That didn’t clear up so we were on anabiotic‘s twice and then another 2 times for UTI. She continued to have the back pain that was getting worse, went back to the Doctor No UTI but large quantities of microscopic blood in protein in her urine. My daughter has kept large quantities of blood with protein in her urine since August of last year. She also started having numbness in her feet and her vision will go blurry for a few minutes. Went to see a urologist in October he did a CT scan and a cystoscope that came back fine. Was referred to a kidney specialist who did bloodwork and urinalysis in a 24 hour urine three times. The urine came back positive for Bence Jones protein on a IPE test and m protein was present in gamma region on a UPE test. I guess my question is does this automatically mean she has some form of cancer of bone marrow due to the positive on the the protein. Could this protein be caused by something else?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks
Murphy
