Hello @mcjohn, We have other members in our forum who have MGUS with neuropathy. There is a correlation between the two. I a good article online which may help you in understanding the possibility of the neuropathy in relation to your blood disorder.

Here’s a link to the discussion in the forum with members @gingerw @circawdm. @quarksunite and others. Don’t hesitate to pop into the conversations!

This article is worth reading. You do not have Multiple Myeloma, but MGUS can sometimes progress to that disease. This article is from a MM online support site and I felt the information would be useful for you.

You have quite a bit of medical excitement going on right now. Wishing you all the best with your upcoming tests. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thank you, Lori, for the information. I had a spinal MRI yesterday and follow-up appointments with my oncologist today and neurologist next week. I hope there can be some collaboration between the two doctors. As a lifelong endurance athlete (running, swimming and cycling), the MGUS/neuropathy is very frustrating, even at age 66. I’m not sure I could live a sedentary lifestyle.
