What symptoms might you experience if myeloma affects your skull?

When myeloma spreads to the skull, it can cause several symptoms:

* Headaches
* Bone pain in the skull area
* Dizziness
* Vision problems (including blurred or double vision)

While myeloma often creates lesions (areas of damage) in the skull bones, it's important to know that it usually doesn't directly affect the brain itself. However, the bone damage in the skull can still cause uncomfortable symptoms.

If you're experiencing new or worsening headaches, vision changes, or other concerning symptoms, it's important to talk with your oncologist. They can help determine what's causing these symptoms and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
