What is the primary cause of multiple myeloma? is it stress?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nobody knows : Bottom line is that nobody knows for sure. No serious studies have correlated multiple myeloma and stress, so this would be an unlikely cause. Genetic abnormalities ate involved in causing this disease but is hard to figure out what is exactly causing such genetic abnormalities. Best wishes, ariel.

My platelets are 134,000. Last August, they were 121,000 (just learned this), so they have come up a little at least. My mother had multiple myeloma, and I am wondering if my platelets are cause for concern and if they could be the beginning of MM?
