Why Isn't Amyliodosis On The List Of Illness That Could Be A Result Of Exposure To Toxins At Camp LeJuene?
A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am a former Marine that spent about 1 year at Camp LeJuene and I am constantly bombarded by ads (and phone calls) regarding the exposure to toxins at the base. Interesting that there are many illnesses listed but NOT Amyloidosis. Most notably Multiple Myoloma, a "direct cousin" as well as other blood & marrow disorders. Why is this?

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!
