@1oldsoul In my experience, I have other health issues occurring at the same time. What to attribute to which concerns? There isn't a hard-and-fast rule book, in my humble opinion. Not all hematologists are well-versed in MGUS/SMM /MM and may not be aware of the subtle signs we patients may see.
MGUS is basically a condition that takes monitoring on a regular basis. As our bodies deal with it, our general health does also, and it might manifest in small ways. Sometimes the only way we see the changes is by looking backwards at things, it can be that unnoticeable. MGUS does not mean it will automatically morph into smoldering myeloma, and you could go many years with no further issues, no further advancement. This is the general consensus.
