I was diagnosed w/mm in Sept 08. Stage 3. I've undergone several sessions of chemo with positive results and a transplant in march this year. I've been experiencing problems with my shoulds/arms. The nerves that drive the muscles in my shoulders have stopped working. My Dr. says that in about 1% of mm cases the disease finds it way into the spinal fluid. Has anyone else ever heard of this or experienced it. I'm going in tomorrow for a spinal tap to confirm/deny presence of mm. tks.
