@dianelouchart65 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! Yes, it will often take several different tests to determine exactly what is going on with us. It's nice to be able to have accuracy, and get to understand our situation. As you will see here, MGUS is considered a benign condition, and the vast majority of people do not progress further. The "watch and wait" approach is considered standard protocol, although as patients we might find it frustrating!

myeloma.org is the website for the International Myeloma Foundation, and has a ton of educational material there for you. Healthy diet, reducing stress, moderate exercise will go a long way not only helping you feel better about yourself, but give you a chance to focus on being the healthiest you can work towards.
