@positivethinking I have had peripheral neuropathy since a year before they diagnosed me with MGUS. It seems, from what I have read, that people with high Lambda (λ) type: A patient's M-protein may have lambda light chains. A low FLC kappa-lambda ratio generally indicates an overproduction of lambda chains.

It is under control only by my making significant changes to my diet, exercise, stress levels, and home treatment programs. It is now about 60-70 percent better symptom-wise after a year of modifying my diet, exercising, stress management, and taking specific supplements like Alpha Lipoic Acid, PEA, Omega-3 Fish oil, etc.

@circawdm what type of diet are you on? Low sugar?

@circawdm

I think your MGUS type also may cause more issues. It seems IgM has different types of potential neuropathies that mostly relate to IgM being a heavier immunoglobulin than IgG and IgA.

I started really feeling this when my IgM got above 800.

I have vacillated, I was at 1400 last spring and now down to 900 but I don’t notice lesser neuropathy except with the cymbalta. PT did teach me some exercises that have helped.
