Hi Bedebaby, it could be critical low B12. I was like that and it got so bad I nodded out while driving. I had blood work and my B12 was critical low. I got a shot and started taking it everyday and that worked. Ask the doctor if that could be the cause and they will add it to the blood work. Here is Critical Low B12 Symptoms & Dangers from the internet.
Neurological Damage: Tingling, numbness in hands/feet, loss of balance, walking difficulties, and potential irreversible nerve damage.
Cognitive & Psychological Changes: Confusion, memory loss, dementia-like symptoms, irritability, and psychosis.
Severe Anemia: Extreme fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
Physical Symptoms: Smooth, sore, red tongue (glossitis), diarrhea, and weight loss.
Long-term Risks: If untreated, this can lead to severe cardiovascular issues,, and permanent cognitive or mobility issues.
Hope things get better, keep us posted.
I don't know. I was diagnosed in 2008, and in about 2010, I went into remission and was off chemo drugs. Last fall, my Oncologist pronounced me CURED, not my word. Myeloma left its scars, knees, back, and neuropathy, but I feel pretty good for 84 years. I didn't think about it much until I happened on this site and read entries and remembered the dark feeling of impending doom. I don't have that feeling anymore. I'm back in the sunshine now.
@A MyMyelomaTeam Member,
What type of MM did you have? Notice, I said did, not have. I pray you are cured!
