Good morning @bigbob5461, so nice to meet you! I am like you in that my mind thinks that my body is still 40, but I think that works in our favor. There is so much science now on the power of positive thinking and I have always been one to challenge my body and tell it “you can do this.” With that said, I think there are very people at age 82 (or 70!) that can say they feel as good as they did at 40 so I think we should count ourselves blessed thus far. I have been dealing with insomnia for 4+ years so that is definitely a factor in my perceived health. But the neuropathy I initially experienced is gone and I have very few days of aches and pains despite having degenerative discs. Up until I developed plantar fasciitis last December, I was walking 3-4 miles every day. All my life I have loved walking and did it on weekends before I retired. About 6-7 years ago I decided to walk to the next town which was 12 miles round trip! I find that walking is wonderful for my mental health and gives me a sense of accomplishment. I am having to baby my one foot now that has plantar fasciitis. There is an active study going on at the Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute on a plant based diet to prevent or slow the progression of MM. Also I have seen some studies on the benefits of Curcumin. Last year my hematologist stated that my monoclonal protein numbers are much lower in comparison to most of his patients even though they have slowly been climbing and have not stabilized. He said he didn’t think it would ever progress to Waldenstrom’s or MM. I have consulted with 2 different naturopathic physicians and neither one could give me any answers on MGUS. I don’t have any other health issues and all my other labs look great so I’m gonna keep doing everything I can with diet, exercise, some supplements, prayer and trying to keep a positive attitude. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.
