I am a 69 year old Caucasian male. I am not sure who to followup with for further blood tests. I saw my Neurologist a few months ago for followup of pheriferial neuropathy in my feet and moving to my ankles and calfs. Since the M Protein is negitive it sounds like I should be OK according to all I've read so far.

Since the alpha and lambda lightcell tests were done once, should I get it done again with the M protein tests?

Generally, the doctor will order blood tests every few months (60 mo. interval for me). I am 70 and have had MGUS for 8 years; my kappa/lambda have gradually ramped up over the years but my M spike is still at the detection limit. I also get CBC (complete blood count) and autoimmune bloodwork. I was diagnosed with polyneuropathy 8 years ago, but it hasn't progressed (maybe more related to celiac disease in my case). Consider keeping a food log, just in case you have developed any food intolerances or other stressors.
