Does anyone else have MGUS?
I was diagnosed with MGUS last October and although I've done a lot of research, I feel there's still so much I don't know. Does anyone else have MGUS?
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.
* Last one:
General study of elevated FLCs and autoimmune and inflammatory type disorders.
Maybe the anti inflammatory supplements (curcumin, cherry tart extract, omega 3s) I’ve been taking have helped me?
I just want to be as healthy as possible and have an open mind.

Fingers (and toes) crossed that you don't have MGUS and instead something that is leaving. There is so much to learn. I have celiac because of H1N1 followed by high stress (and genetics). I got glutened last March the same day I was exposed to covid. Having covid during a cytokine storm was not fun. My long covid (LC) is almost gone. Vaccines do trigger our immune systems, and are they still on alert once the mRNA bits are gone? There are similarities between LC and some autoimmune diseases.
Thank you! I’m hoping that’s the case too.
Immunology is fascinating and research goes so fast now- hoping we learn more soon about inflammation and autoimmunity.
The cytokine storm is what killed so many people with Covid infections. Once our immune system is ramped up, it can become its own worst enemy.
Lots still unknown - clearly the vaccine helped much more than it caused harm.
Slowly rising, 284 lambda now k/l quotient 0.04 now!
Still waiting thank goodness

Thanks Leslie! Appreciate your feedback. Amazing really that 9% of a type of cell being mutated is small, but I'll take it as a positive! 🙂
I am glad it is moving slowly.
Thank you, Patty. I was seeing a hematologist because of anemia issues. He sent me to a nephrologist because he didn't like the kidney function (been on pain meds for many years due to back issues). Nephrologist ran tons of bloodwork. When I met with him, he pointed out the monoclonal ism lambda rate (03 g/dl) which I don't understand. His first word was it's probably MM and chemo treatments. I just freaked. I see the hematologist/oncologist on Monday. I've been a mess since getting this information. I feel much better after reading your answer here. I just felt like I'd been given a death sentence. I'm frustrated with the nephrologist making such a jump, instead of letting me just get back with the hematologist/oncologist and talking about this. I so appreciate your information. I hope I get a good report on Monday when I go back. Right now, I'm scared.
