    Hi All
    I go for my 4 monthly MGUS check on Tues. I have just one question. I've had several nose bleeds recently. Does anyone know if there is a connection with MGUS, so should I mention it to consultant.
    My last PP were 32 up from 28, but everything else was ok and consultant made nothing of it.

    I am sorry that, as yet, you haven?t had any responses to your query. I hope you don?t mind me replying. My name is Ellen and I am one of the Myeloma Information Specialists at Myeloma UK.

    Nose bleeds can occur for several reasons in the general population. For some people, frequent nose bleeds can occur as a result of low platelet levels. Platelets are small blood cells that help our blood clot normally, if we cut ourselves for instance. If you notice an increase in the occurrence of nose bleeds, or you notice bleeding from anywhere else, then this is something that should be mentioned to your doctor.

    I hope that this helps but please do not hesitate to contact me directly on the Myeloma Infoline on 0800 980 3332 or by email to askthenurse@myeloma.org.uk
