Hi I’m Larry, up in the north east of England. Things began to be strange after I’d cleared a bout of shingles in October 2025. After that I got really achy lower limbs and had to use a walking stick. It was suggested I get blood tests done so I arranged that through my village doctor’s surgery. Then I had a few consults with a doctor at the hospital where I am now, and it was explained that I would need Dexamethasone to control the spread of things called Paraproteins. This was all new to me and after some research it was discovered I was way past the MGUS stage and therefore would be looking into a long programme of meds, including later, chemo.
Well its early days yet. But a week ago I felt really ill after tea and I violently threw up about 8 times, and so an ambulance was called. That led me here, where hopefully in a few days I’ll be going home.
Fingers crossed !
