Good Morning! I am a member of Mayo Clinic because I was diagnosed with MGUS last September 2023.

To answer your question above, IBS is IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME, which can come and go with symptoms depending on diet.

I have been seeing a Hematologist/Oncologist since last Fall and so far everything is stable even though I have a high IgG and low ratio. So far I have had a PET scan (normal no lesions), 24 hour urine (normal no protein) and all my other blood work is normal except that I am anemic (I have Thalassemia Minor which is a hereditary anemia), nothing to do there right now even though my Hemoglobin has dropped from 9.9 to 9.6 in a year.

I have not had a bone marrow biopsy, however, I am sure it will come up in the near future just to see where I am in the process of this journey of the unknown MGUS.

Take care everyone and it is nice to have a group that we can all chat with about our concerns with MGUS!

Sandy
