@jdm02 I am 71, diagnosed with IgA Kappa MGUS 9 years ago, and have no symptoms associated with it. My BMB last year indicated SMM, but no symptoms with that. I have various autoimmune diseases that can impact me (my celiac is associated with increased risk of blood cancers). Some brands of MGUS and some genetic mutations are associated with increased or decreased risks. I do have fatigue, but that is from kidney damage from norovirus two years ago (previous to that I was biking +6000 mi/year). I am a retired research scientist (not medicine) and vaccines do not influence MM; geographic area could if one is exposed to chemicals that increase one's risk. https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/myeloma/risks-causes
