As a first year medical student, we are conditioned to remember “congo red stain” and “apple green birefringence” when thinking of amyloidosis. This presentation was a great reminder that amyloidosis is the patients who experience it. It’s the progressive loss of function, it’s the non-specific symptoms that take time and multiple doctor’s visits to figure out. This was a great experience and will help me keep this diagnosis in mind when I encounter patients in the future.
