Abstract
A previously healthy 30-year-old woman experienced worsening back pain, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, and facial puffiness. After 18 months of these symptoms, she was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, which was also damaging her kidneys. The treatment involved a combination of medications and blood transfusions, leading to improved kidney function. Despite the challenges of managing her condition as a mother of young children, she remains hopeful. This case emphasizes the need for awareness of multiple myeloma in younger patients and the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care for managing this chronic illness.
