MGUS Symptoms: What symptoms did you experience?

Thank you, Patty. Up until now, I have had good luck in getting answers to my concerns from Rheumatology. Coincidently, after MGUS diagnosis, I felt as if he was shrugging his shoulders and not paying too much attention to my concerns. I was wondering if it was because he did not know much about MGUS. I came to know this week that he is leaving the practice and now I know why I felt what I felt. It's time to look for another rheumatologist. Meanwhile, I have met Hematologist only once and I did not get my concerns addressed. I plan to do what you mentioned and see if I get answers.

Speaking to your need to find a new physician. Since 1980 (I just dated myself!) I have several co-morbidities: MGUS (initially diagnosed as smoldering myeloma, multiple sclerosis… to name a few. What I’ve found over the years is that finding my physicians in a system: University of Iowa, Duke University, University of N Carolina, Kansas University, University of Texas, and several military medical installations has served me well. It gives me options to pick choose and change physicians as I deem necessary. Wishing you the best in your search.
