Anyone with MGUS, do you have joint pain?

I will start out telling you I am 93 and was diagnosed approximately 1 year ago with MCUS. I went with the testing etc. and then on my last visit I asked the Doctor why we were doing all this. He explained it was necessary to keep a check on this problem and maybe we could cut down the follow-up to once a year. I asked him why this was necessary since neither he or I could guarantee I would be here next year. He said I was right, and if I suddenly did not feel good, contact him for an appointment. That is what I am planning on doing. When you get to be my age, the number of new problems becomes terrifying, unless you decide that as long as you are standing, and you have no pain, forget about them and go on and have the best life you can.

I’m guessing that you are a breath of fresh air and your doc enjoys seeing you.
Thanks for the reminder about what is important.
