Thank you for this upbeat response I did get this diagnosis from a hematologist which was shocking to me. Otherwise I am the healthiest 75-year-old I’ve ever known. I don’t even have a prescription! How do you stay active and eat right but I must say this has allowed depression to creep in and I’m finding it hard to stay on my tasks I do have excessive fatigue is that just the depression?

MGUS is considered asymptomatic. If you have excessive fatigue then it would be good for doctors to see if there is anything else going on. Checking kidney and thyroid function, and overall blood/urine tests can be useful. Getting hit with MGUS was depressing for me, and it did take some time to work through the grieving process. I didn't have fatigue so could still escape with nature walks/biking and other interests. It is good to have people you can talk with about what you are going through.
