I have haf MGUS (various stages) for 23 years. I had Covid in 2021. I was totally asymptomatic but well vaccinated. (My house cleaners came with fulminating Covid!?!)
My free light chains (both) escalated more than 100 percent - both lambda and kappa. I never had kappa elevations before. My disease is IgG lambda - M spike around 1.5 - never changes and did not go up at all with the free light chain increases.

@hsminc I’m glad your M spike is stable. I wasn’t tested right after Covid but my numbers did go up when I had surgery in April. They calmed back down, however. I think there is some ebb and flow that just happens as our body reacts to whatever trauma it’s dealing with.
I hope you’ll continue to post how things are going for you. Will you let us know?
