Jane’s MGUS journey continued

I do try to be happy 90% of the time, there’s no use being miserable because you have no control over fate. I will either develop myeloma or I wont, I don’t control that, neither do the doctors, so I refuse to miserable about what I can’t control. I am a happy person and plan to stay that way  

The reason I am worried about my next clinic visit is because I have had to have extra tests done and my Haematologist thinks my condition may have changed. I have been having recurrent infections such as ear, nose and throat, pneumonia, chest infection, recurrent episodes of herpes on my lower spine and ovarian abcesses and infections. This means that my immune system is not doing its job properly, not a good sign. I also sweat profusely at the slightest bit of exertion such as walking up and down the stairs, I have had a couple of night sweats as well, again not a good sign. I get so tired all the time, I have no energy to do anything, sometimes its hard to even get off the sofa, I get so fatigued, another bad sign. So all in all things with my general health are not as they should be. This together with my blood protein levels continuously rising is causing concern and that’s why I have had the extra tests and that’s why I’m worried about the results.
