Nick:
I can completely relate to everything you said. It’s a very normal human reaction. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago, and so far stable with labs every 6 months now. I don’t have an answer for how to manage the anxiety. Educate yourself but don’t over do it- especially use reputable sources for information. Much on line is out of date & this area is exploding with new research.

Get a specialist who treats plasma cell diseases and is experienced.

There are a few clinical trials ongoing to see if MGUS can be stopped in its tracks- but it’s got high risk patients only.
They’re looking at the possibility of the following:
1. Curcumin
2. Metformin
3. Plant based whole food diet
4. One more?

I’ve started taking 1gm curcumin a day to see if it can reduce inflammation. I’m almost 65 but been very healthy all my life so this is a shock.

This is a great source of support. Try not to let it take over your life.

Thank you so much Leslie. Your reply is much appreciated. I'll have a look at the studies you mentioned and do my best to not let it take over.
Best wishes and positive thoughts to you.

The availability of curcumin in the blood is increased 2000% when capsules have black pepper extract. Even then, they are only useful in your body for a short time. Therefore best if taken multiple times a day.
