I suffer daily with extreme fatigue, lower back pain and calf pain. My legs with all this pain get so weak so I use a walker however, my hematologist said no treatment at this time. I guess it's because my bone biopsy negative and blood test negative. Does this sound right?? He said come back 6nmos. But won't it get worse by then??
6 months. No way! Change doctors.
In my case a biopsy of my kidneys showed that I had AL amyloidosis.
Thank you so much 💓
The road on Amyloidosis is so flustering! Only because it is rare and not many doctors are up on what to do, I think. If you have other doctors in your area you may want a second opinion. Sending you a hug 🤗 and best wishes….
