How Long Can AL Amyloidosis Be In The Body Before Symptoms Show Up?
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

My husband was diagnosed with AL Amyloidosis in November 2023. I started seeing changes in him going back to about 2017-18
He’s always had yearly physicals that were normal, so I just thought maybe he’s getting older. Looking back I’m wondering if it’s was the beginning of what is now an advanced stage of AL Amyloidosis. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
