My symptoms just bear no relation to anyone else's, and to make matters worse I've got to stop eating again. It's not the first time, and it's not that I don't like eating, but it only makes matters far worse.That always appears to get misinterpreted as attention seeking, but I just want some relief, if only for a while. My current record is 12 days without food and it's remarkable how long you can last, but I'm not doing it for fun.
When my abdomen is bad certainly I get backache, but it's barely noticeable when it feels as if my abdomen has someone using a cheese grater on it from the inside. I'm not sure if the spinal investigation is just another blind alley.
I suspect that they're going to have to do the diagnostics on me from a hospital bed, which is hardly what I'm wanting. I've no chance of lasting until April.
Presumably if I have MGUS, then I don't have myeloma, which is about the only good news I have at the moment.
Getting to the MRI scan on the other side of town on a Sunday will be fun enough, but that will be the end of my long distance travels.
