I was diagnosed with mgus over a year ago. Since then I have been really sick I have severe neuropathy shortness of breath.
I get no answers for the doctors. I have had bone biopsy fatpad biopsy and kidney biopsy. No answers. I hope you the best with your mgus. And I hope doctors get a handle on it I believe. It needs a lot more attention that it gets.

Clifford do you have any other health issues? I’m so sorry you aren’t getting the answers about your symptoms. It’s frustrating.
Have you a good hematologist/oncologist? Maybe a second opinion?
Do they do routine blood analysis to check to see if your MGUS is progressing?
I’m so sorry. Nothing worse than feeling sick unless it is feeling sick and having no answers as to why.
My MGUS was diagnosed for the first time in August 2021. If I felt bad… Which I don’t… I would consider going to the Mayo Clinic. I’m in Arkansas and not close to Phoenix or Rochester, but it would be worth it to get a second opinion. I like my hematologist/oncologist very much and we are watching my numbers. We do bloodwork every 3 to 4 months. I do have this pesky neuropathy in my feet, which somewhat limits my level of activity. I try to just carry on, ignoring my poor feet. They complain a lot but 🤷🏼‍♀️
Check back in and let us know how you are doing.

I have had MGUS for about 5 years which is low but slowly increasing. I have neuropathy and fatigue. I recently saw a number of super healthy women playing pickleball in the evening and was overcome with sadness at my disability.
