Hello everyone!
My name is Michelle I have been dianosed with light chain mgus about 3 years ago, the reason it was discovered was i went to dr's because of symptoms of achy, all over itchy skin tingling hands and feet dizzy spells bad lower back and hip pain and very bad hot flushes thought i was going through menopause early.. They checked my bloods white cell count high and showed inflammation markers said i was probably fighting a cold kept having bloods checked for same thing as well as having 3 HIV tests done in 18 months, all clear by the way! they kept coming back as the same, fighting cold high white cell count low blood cell count so finally they decided to send me to a specialist, and 3 years later doing okay but still getting symptoms latest ones are my blood is much thinner than it used to be having had many bloods taken many times over past few years i no what my blood is like and it's definatly changed even when i cut myself it seems to takes a great longer to stop bleeding, So I was wondering finally... could someone tell me if this can be a symptom of mgus Of my very basic understanding of the disease when the bad cells start taking over inside bone marrow they push out/ stop the good ones from making theirs cause of the lack of room, so does this mean the bad cells could crowd out red blood cells that make blood clot, therefore making blood thinner and less likely to clot is this right????? Thanks in advance Michelle :)
