Is there anything to help stop or slow progression of MGUS?

You are young for the diagnosis. I was 55 when diagnosed with IgA. I am being treated for mast cell activation syndrome as well. I am 60 now.
I take pepcid, Allegra, claritin, vitamin d and benadryl everyday. My IgA went down for the first time this year but my lambda light chain went up a bit.
My father-in-law had MGUS which became Multiple Myeloma and was treated 8 years ago and is free of it today at 85.
My brother's mother-in-law was not diagnosed with MGUS so her Multiple myeloma had progressed before diagnosis and she passed away just a year after diagnosis.
It is about early diagnosis and treatment.

I was diagnosed with MGUS fall 2015. This was accidentally found in a blood test when the hematologist was looking for the reason I was having unexplained roving pain - basically all over the body. My rheumatoid factor was quite high but the rheumatoid doctor said I didn't have rheumatoid arthritis after he examined he; thus being referred to a hematologist. Since then, I have annual monoclonal protein study tests sent to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. This year's test was a bit different from all the past tests. Have they changed the way testing is done. My main question is did you find taking antihistamines and antacids had an affect on MGUS? My IgA was 87 in Oct '24. My IgG Lambda is .385 which is high. I don't see this type test in previous testing.
