I was diagnosed with MGUS 5 years ago as my IgE was 90,000....the only patient my oncologist has ever had with these crazy numbers. Am doing fine....78 yrs old, female....and being checked once per year. Cannot understand why I continue to receive such elevated IgE numbers. Any ideas?

@cdeldeo IgE is an immunoglobulin that often is related to allergies. It is very rarely associated with MGUS. Have you had any testing by an immunologist regarding allergies? I recall a long time ago, my mother going through allergy testing, and the only thing she was not allergic to was her cat!
