Hi There,
I’m 46 and female and was diagnosed on 15th Aug.
I was fobbed off too as menopause and my haemoglobin very low. I was rushed into hospital after my husband carried me into the doctors surgery. I had bloods done there after 2 months of bloods being done and awaiting a consultant haematologist app. When I was admitted I was in renal failure.
I would keep pushing, My GP thought I needed a blood transfusion !! I ended up with 5 over 2 days!
It was the consultant in A&E who pieced oit altogether .
Like you I had no appetite , couldnt sleep, the pain in my lower back and rib cage was excruciating . I was quite clumsy and would bump into things also. The fatigue was awful too.
Please keep nagging your doctor, if they suspect Myeloma they should follow through with the relevant tests. Ask to be sent for a bone marrow biopsy .
Best of Luck.
