Loss of appetite
It is not surprising that a person with myeloma will experience a decrease in appetite, especially when nausea and vomiting occur. Like many other symptoms of this disease, not all lose appetite. Even those who do will probably not make it, even though the disease is in its infancy. It is also interesting to note that many types of cancer can cause anorexia, nausea and vomiting. This also applies to many other non-cancer-related diseases.
Weight loss
someone eats much less likely to lose weight, and the same goes for those who suffer from persistent nausea and vomiting. However, those who suffer from myeloma may also suffer from weight loss, in addition to the symptoms described above. Unintentional weight loss can indicate that something is wrong with physical health. Therefore, anyone experiencing this should not hesitate to make an appointment with a doctor as soon as possible.
Common disease
Myeloma has negative effects on the immune system as it displaces healthy blood cells responsible for the production of antibodies. These antibodies allow people to fight infections more effectively.. As a result, the person who suffers from myeloma is much more susceptible, easily ill, and often causes repeated infections. An additional complication is that such an easy cold can lead to serious complications. After all, many people with myeloma contract pneumonia. In the worst case, pneumonia can become resistant to antibiotics, making effective treatment difficult.
Constipation
If myeloma is more advanced, the person may begin to feel constipation, which is more common or more severe in nature. In itself, this particular symptom may not be an indicator of particular severity unless it occurs regularly. However, the presence of constipation, as well as other symptoms already mentioned, may be a cause for concern and should be carefully examined by a doctor to identify the cause of the problem.
