Slight M Protein Rise After Steroid Reduction?
AI-generated title
Hello! I was diagnosed Dec 2024. I am 46 years old. I am on month 5 of treatment. I am high risk. My numbers had been going down pretty steady except for 1 month in the beginning when they kept stopping my treatment due to my low neutrophils. But since that is under control I have been consistently getting treatment. Just today my M protein came back higher. 6 weeks ago it was at .3 and today it was .4. I haven’t talked to my doctor yet it usually takes her some time to review and contact me. Doctor reduced my steroid last month from 40mg once a week to 20mg once a week. It was not letting me sleep. Could this be the cause of the increase? Is this a sign medication is no longer working?
