Cindy’s Multiple Myeloma Blog

Symptoms are fatigue, no focus, anxiety, leg weakness, and joint pain. 

Joint pain and weakness are not “age effects” as it’s debilitating.  Other MMr’s in their upper 70’s and early 80’s and do not have this same trouble.  So, it is NOT age. 

Plan to, hope and pray to get committed to regular exercise to strengthen self and improve as much as possible.  Also get committed to taking supplements consistently.

Just hope and pray for consistency in doing what I can do to improve things myself.  I plan on investigating a local place for Physical Therapy that takes both Medicare and  United Healthcare Sprint Select.  When I see Dr. D in February, I will request a prescription for this.  Dr. D supported Physical Therapy for me saying that she thought it would be good and also help me to NOT injure myself.  I think since I had so many tests done since my first appointment with her, Cindy (her nurse assistant) got tired of so much research and  appointment setting that she wanted to put this off. 

I also plan to inquire about seeing another type of doctor to figure out what is going on.  Some type of arthritis as a result of the Strep B infection?  Explore out-of-the-box possibilities.
