My M spike was low and somehow after 18 yrs nothing shows. I have a para protein. I’m sort of confused as I know I am slightly anemic . I had a bone marrow over 18 yrs ago and is what it showed. Now a few months ago my oncologist/ hematologist said on blood tests , no sign of M spike any longer. I have another spot in a few months.

May I ask what a transient M spike is? I’m also diabetic but I stay very thin, basically eat healthy and exercise and laugh a lot. I didn’t know it could disappear. I think maybe they made a mistake on blood tests. Lymphoma and Lukemia were in my family. I pray for me and everyone.
Hello. I’m newly diagnosed with MGUS. I would like to know more about the disease and its progression and treatment.
Can someone tell me what 1g G Kappa means?

I have a red light therapy device that hangs from the wall (or could be put on a stand) which I originally ordered for painful plantar fasciitis that I had on my left foot for almost a year. I was complete amazed after a week how much better my heel felt and after 2 weeks the fasciitis was virtually gone so I am a big believer in this therapy. I used it directed at the bottom of my feet 4-6” away from the device for 10 minutes a day 5 days a week with 2 off. Consistency is the key and now I use it for my back-degenerative disc disease and hopefully for my MGUS but we are in the process of moving from Arkansas to Texas so I haven’t been consistent lately. My IGG and M spike lab markers were improved on my last blood test so I am hopeful this therapy will help in some small way. The device I use is called the Red Rush 400.

Hello @googi, and welcome to the Mayo Clinic connect. i see that you were recently been diagnosed with MGUS. Here is a Mayo Clinic publication that might be helpful to you. There are also many discussions on this message board that address MGUS if you search for them using the magnifying glass at the top of the page. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/mgus/symptoms-causes/syc-20352362
So what information did your physician give you about MGUS? Have you been able to speak with him or her since receiving your lab results?
You’ll find that we might be more helpful to you if you give us a little more context of your question. Do you mind doing that?

@ladyrose74 I found this Mayo Clinic publication where the transient M paraprotein is discussed.

It’s hard to know about lab errors or other anomalies. What does your hematologist/oncologist think?
