George, I have not, but some of the Myeloma medications and Chemo’s, makes us prone to getting blood clots. Also, the viscosity (thickening of our blood) due to the Myeloma cells can cause blood clots. The clotting factors change and the blood clots can form. Stay Safe! Love, Marcia 🌸

The high monoclonal proteins and the treatments make us more prone to blood clots. Another reason to drink lots of water and exercise. I'm on prophylactic aspirin💕

I am on Revlimid which is known to cause blood clots. I also take Eliquis 250mg twice a day for the prevention of blood clots. Hope this helps.

I am not on any medication. I'm only in observation. MGUS is considered a pre myeloma condition. The monoclonal protein, not the percentage where myeloma is diagnosed Is MGUS. I read research studies that point to a possible symptom of progression to myeloma. What I had was a pulmonary embolism in February. They are calling it an unprovoked pulmonary embolism.
