Does anyone have neuropathy related to MGUS?

@circawdm I have! I follow the mediterrian diet too. My good cholesterol is very high thanks to all the olive oil…. but it hasn’t helped the neuropathy.
There are so many things that cause neuropathy. According to neurology, it would be chemo that would impact mine but they don’t think I am there yet. You must have been luckier in your cause if your diet helped you that much. Which makes sense, b12, folate, iron…. all of these can cause this and those are things you might be able to regulate through diet. They just didn’t cause mine.

@tracypage, I have a blood cancer, also, I did not mention. Not MGUS. I take chemo pills. The diet and other things I discussed still help some. Topical creams containing menthol and eucalyptus can help with falling asleep. I never need more than Tylenol and he cream before bed—Epsom Salts warm foot baths, vibrating and heating massagers for the feet, ditto. Red light slippers (Amazon) also work very well if done daily. There are *many* things to help with symptoms that also help fight what chemo or diseases did.
The bottom line is that they damaged or killed nerves, and some also hurt your circulation in the legs, feet, and toes. I also wear compression socks, helping with circulation. If you join one of the neuropathy groups on FB you will get all kinds of ideas from others who have neuropathy! I moderate two of them. Members are in the thousands. Many people have idiopathic PN or neuropathy by known causes.
