Does anyone else have MGUS?

I was diagnosed with MGUS about 18 months ago (so far just high IGM and low IGA and IGG.) For the past 5 months I have become more and more fatigued and I have been checked for anemia, B12, Folate and iron. My hematologist says I should not be feeling fatigue from the MGUS at this point. I am starting to get worried because I have always walked 3-4 miles outside every day and this is not like me to feel so weak. I am having a stress/echo with a cardiologist next month but this feels more like anemia and yet my labs are OK. The fatigue is intermittent but so often now that I’m concerned. I am 69 years old, 125 lbs and have always been active and eat healthy. Anyone else with MGUS having a problem with fatigue and did your hematologist tell you the same thing? Thank you for any ideas.

When I found out just 2 months ago, I felt the same as you did but I soon realized...I was depressed! I wasn't sleeping well from anxiety and I really wasn't eating all that much. I too am a very healthy and trim gal. I also have no other symptoms or blood readings out of line. I realized that I just needed to STOP looking for things that just aren't there. My entire attitude changed. I decided to be grateful, happy, and choose to be positive. I survived stage III colon cancer 20 years ago because I DECIDED to remain positive. Believe in your good health, it is a gift
