Dan, thank you so much for telling your story. This disease is so tricky to diagnose and I think a lot of people are never diagnosed properly. It's nice to share similar stories about this journey we are on. Stay strong and good luck with the new pacemaker.
Thank you for posting. Your 4+ minute video brings so many thoughts and experiences from my journey to my mind. I've felt the void in the pit of your stomach when you have no idea what tomorrow will bring. And the relief when someone begins to have answers and finally at least there is a path forward. Thank you for expressing these feelings much more eloquently than I have been able to. 💛
I so sympathize, those trips to the ER and night of breathlessness are hell on earth, I was in that place before I was treated for my condition too. My doctor at Mayo Clinic saved my life.

No... just stared videoing after diagnosis. Weigh loss, weakness, fat loss, a-fib. I really didn't know how bad i was looking until I attended a charity event run by one of by friends who is a leukemia survivor... he said to me with concern... are you ok?
@@DanLier thank you for your reply! did you have anything like orthostatic intolerance such a POTS or Dysautonomia any GI issues 15-30 minutes after eating? when you mention weakness are we talking muscle strength or just fatigue? cloudy/turbid urine or Episcleritis (red eye)?
@@DanLier ok thank you for clearing some info up for me. I appreciate you taking the time out of your day. I hope you are doing ok. Thank you for videoing your journey and helping others!
I am understand what happened too you cause i have a patient with cardiac amyloidosis.. But you didn't tell us about treatment period with doctor morie gertz.. Can you tell us more about it
Your videos have encouraged me to keep pursuing answers for my symptoms. God bless you for sharing your story and giving hope to never give up!

You're welcome Julie. I think it's a feeling we've all had... it's hard to explain to others or have others relate to the feeling.

Wow, fantastic. Who was your Dr at Mayo?

Do you have a video of your symptoms prior to diagnosis?
No... just stared videoing after diagnosis. Weigh loss, weakness, fat loss, a-fib. I really didn't know how bad i was looking until I attended a charity event run by one of by friends who is a leukemia survivor... he said to me with concern... are you ok?

@@Kripeld None of those you listed.... weakness, both muscle strength and fatigue.

Yes, did 3 types of chemo for a period of two years. My light chain proteins went from 16 to 2.5, then I went to a maintenance drug called Venclexta.
