Hello @andreasschmieg and welcome to Mayo Connect. Well, you may be new to the MGUS club but you’re in good company. We have quite a few members with MGUS and I think you’ll find them very encouraging and supportive. Anytime we get a diagnosis of something we’ve never even heard of before it’s natural to be filled with the mental terror you described.
But knowledge is power and I think once you’re more familiar with with what MGUS is all about and that this is a slowly progressing situation that may not change in years, you’ll be a little more at ease. I know what it’s like to wait for that proverbial other shoe to drop. The thud isn’t always as loud as we imagine. ☺️

I’m posting quite a few links below. The first is from a discussion, I Have MGUS. One reply that I think will be most helpful, to get you started, is from our member @pmm who has MGUS. She’s so gracious and willing to share her experiences with others and I think you’ll find her very reassuring. Here’s her comment I’d like you to read:

It’s from this discussion group:

Other members who have or have had MGUS besides @pmm, are @teedlum @gingerw @michey @2012can @dianegrant and many other members in the various conversations.
Below are other links for information on MGUS and also some conversations regarding diet and MGUS.

Don’t go ordering those graver markers from Amazon anytime soon though, ok? ☺️
