Can Covid Vaccines Trigger Multiple Myeloma?
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

After 3 Moderna vaccine shots in 2021 and 2022 I was diagnosed with MM in Oct 2022. The vaccines cause M-spikes in the blood and my primary doctor said, β€œM-spike? I think you have Multiple Myeloma!” Could the vaccines trigger the onset of this disease? I blamed the vaccines on my bone deterioration but the surgeon said no. Coincidence?

I know Dr. Durie says there is no correlation, but my m spike went up to 0.4 after one of the vaccines. It had been 0.0 for several months. So they need to do more research on these vaccines.

After my second covid vaccine I started getting symptoms and was diagnosed 4 months later. I guess I already unknowingly had SMM or MGUS. I didn't make the connection then. Whenever I get a vaccine, my kappa light chains jump.

My light chains did a significant rise after the first vaccine, but by the next month's blood tests, the light chains went back down again
