MGUS and Susceptibility to infection

My IgA is 19 and IgM is 26 and my IgG is 1990. My immunoparesis has also been called hypogammaglobunmia. Basically it means no new antibodies and not many of the old ones. I worry about it but have been told there is not much to do right now and I should just do what I did during covid. I haven't had major infections yet but shingles is trying to flare up more and I do get little skin infections that resolve quickly. The T cells and white blood cells seem to be doing their job but I'm skeptical that I'll make it through cold and flu season since I had no response to a pneumonia vaccine.

@kansasjayhawk sorry to read this. hoping the best for you!

@kansasjayhawk Can you get a shingles vaccine? Or Valacyclovir? My oncologist put me on the latter after starting me on DarzalexFasPro for SMM. It can bring on shingles. Good luck.
