Hi Amelie, I think it is great that you are making this speech! Don't forget though that Myeloma is such a varied illness. I have never had back pain or any other bone problem and my illness was discovered, eventually, after months and months of anaemia and lots of serious infections. They kept treating the infections but nobody tried to find out why I was having them, despite 3 spells in hospital. I kept on and on saying there must be a reason why I was anaemic and kept being ill and tired all the time until eventually they did the blood test that found my myeloma (10 months after the first bout of pneumonia). So be careful, it is not only bone pain that might signal myeloma! Vicky xx
