MGUS monitoring: What tests do you have done regularly?

I’ve had MGUS since 2015: long before covid.

Subsequently I had two Modernas, then three Moderna boosters. Of those the most recent was the bivalent booster. They did not seem to alter my MGUS status.

However MGUS seems to have interfered with my body’s immune response to vaccines. For that reason I received Evusheld infusions. I’m due for the next and have a BIG QUESTION: does it make sense to get Evusheld every six months when the virus variants for which it used to be effective have mutated on?

@raye Just yesterday I had an appointment with my oncologist. We spoke about Evusheld - I have had two doses. We will wait to see what the FDA is recommending come Feb when my six month window opens up again.

As for your body's response to vaccines. I have the same issue, when dealing with my autoimmune conditions. In fact, I am undergoing another round of Hepatitis B vaccines because I never developed antibodies in 2017 when I went through a vaccine series.

@aaamadre Has your medical team told you and confirmed you now have MGUS as a result of a covid vaccine?
