Examples:

Headaches, numbing, swelling, pains . . .

In other words, did you feel or notice anything in your body that made you think that your M spike and/or other numbers may have increased and the results of your bloodwork showed that your numbers had elevated.

Also,

Has anyone experienced elevated numbers after changing a medication?

When I first started symptoms, I was getting up at night 3 or 5 a night to urinate and was always thirsty. I also had severe back pain and at times could not get up out of bed. I had back surgery which did wonders for my back pain and radiation for tumors that were found on my ribs

No clue. No symptoms. Low HGB in the nines for 4 years but did not "feel" it. IGG was 3000.

I have smm and even though the numbers are climbing - especially the M, I still have no pain. I have some back pain but had this previously.
