Does anyone else have MGUS?

I have MGUS too and have a question about your dizziness. Is it a feeling of the room spinning or a feeling like you're drunk? I've had dizziness, but the feeling I have when I stand or sit is like I'm drunk. It has slowly worsened over the past year, and I have seen many different specialists trying to figure it out. I can't get into my ENT until the end of August. I was diagnosed with MGUS in July 2022, and my bloodwork is stable. I've had vertigo (dizziness), but this is different and goes away when I lie down. I too have lost my stamina, so recently purchased a stationary bike to try to get some exercise. I sometimes stagger, so don't feel safe going outside to walk.

I have experienced the same issues for the last 4-5 months.I was dx with MGUS in October 2021 following back surgery. I am lately experiencing weakness, shakiness that comes on quickly.I thought it was my blood sugar as I’m pre-diabetic but my primary tested my A 1C and it was improving since my last one. I am also dropping things, plate, coffee cup, even a half gal milk. I have really bad leg cramps at nite (RSL) that we are trying to get under control and was thinking my lack of sleep might be causing my weakness. I’m even using a cane on walks “just in case”. I hate not knowing what’s going on.

Have you checked your blood pressure. Sometimes when your blood pressure is low it can cause this type of problem.
