    Gemini, it sounds like we have a lot in common! I have really bad allergies too and a lot of Drs think I have said I have an autoimmune disease brewing, just can't conclude what and when it will be. Scary stuff, hopefully I may be able to prevent that from occuring. I am glad you stood up for yourself and also found some of the good doctors. Its good...

    Thanks everyone, I am very relieved, and I really appreciate your time and thoughts. I am definitely going to go gluten free. I am so sick of doctors and hoping they will help me feel better. Now that I know it is not mgus or myeloma, I feel I can really help myself with going gluten free and helping to heal myself! I may very well be preventing something...

    Well, I got the good news today, BMB was completely negative! Whew! Now that I am so relieved by the results, and wondering why the Dr made me wait until my appt. couldn't he have called? Oh well! Now I am wondering, what now? I must say I am tired of dealing with tests and appointments and waiting. I am also tired of feeling like heck. My Dr wants...

    Yes, thank you cyberprof for that information, very helpful, and timely too. Well my BMB wasn't too bad. The worst part was feeling the initial sting of the local. I barely even felt the BMB, felt pressure and a funny feeling that is hard to describe. But all in all not as bad I had feared! My problem was afterwards...I won't go into details, because...

    Uggg! I just called the rheumy's office and asked if the Dr. can order a full celiac panel, as I have only had the transglutamine (sp) one. She said the dr. isn't in today, but that all they ever order is that one! She said she has never heard of a panel! How come I know more about this than they do, just from surfing the net? She went and asked the gastro...

    Hi Gemini, thank you for your thoughts and experiences. Yes, at one time I did have a m-spike I believe they called it, about 1.5 years ago. I continue to have (I have my recent lab infront of me) a high, Beta band 1.21 (0.60-1.05). Not sure if that is the spike or not? I was really surprised when he mentioned myeloma too! The rheumy I just saw for...

    lovegrov, that is so true I would be so happy if it turns out to be "just" celiac. Not many things have a cure which we can control! May I ask how you were finally diagnosed? How soon after going gluten-free did you start to notice improvement? Unfortunately my Dr doesn't do anything other than lots of local, he said it is simply not worth the risk...

    Thank you both so much for your thoughts and time. I really appreciate it. I am for sure still doing the BMB. I want to find out what is going on in my marrow, plus I figure a hematologist wouldn't order a test such as that with out wanting to rule out something serious. I will def request further celiac testing though! One thing I know is good is...

    Hello everyone, I have read many of the posts and hope someone can give me their thoughts. I am scheduled for a BMB on Friday, and I am scared! My hematologist says the only reason he can think of for my IgA to be rising so fast is myeloma! Let me give you some background... -I have IBS, diagnosed with a negative colonoscopy. I have had stomach...
