Some pills say to take with food, some don't. I… read more

Some people have light chain only myeloma. No m spike. But they would have an elevated band on immunofixation and electrophoresis. Elevated light chains are not good for our kidneys
I would ask a podiatrist as there are various types of neuropathy and treatments may be different.
