multiple myeloma cure :: Article Creator Grappling With Spinal Cord Pain? Don't Ignore These Symptoms Of Multiple Myeloma Spinal Cord.Image: Pexels Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that arises from abnormal or malignant plasma cells. Normally, a healthy plasma cell is found in bone marrow and is responsible for producing antibodies to provide immunity to the person. Multiple myeloma can arise when plasma cells transform into malignant plasma cells which leads to the uncontrolled growth of these abnormal plasma cells, which crowd out healthy blood cells. This can cause bone damage, kidney dysfunction, anaemia, and weakened immunity.

Daraine Cunningham wore fake eyelashes to cover what she believed was a "black eye," a condition that doctors had reportedly dismissed as normal for years.
