Hi Olivia. I’m so sorry you have no answers yet. I was in the hospital last year for almost a month, including 4 days in ICU, and they kept trying to blame it on COVID, which I had recovered from months before. But everything that happened to me just wasn’t adding up, and it wasn’t until Rheumatology team caught the MGUS in my blood work. I apparently have a unique case that attacks my kidneys and causes bruise-like rashes. Luckily, the chemo seems to be keeping it in check for now. I hope you have a good medical team that will hopefully find a diagnosis and develop an effective treatment plan for you. I wish you the best of luck.

Oh my goodness! You poor dear.
Thank you for sharing this with me.
They say MGUS doesn’t case symptoms, well I think something may need to change with MGUS diagnosis.

Were your kidney levels really off?

I am glad you are getting the treatment you desperately needed. 🙏

I have a couple biopsies scheduled for amyloid in my GI track and Nerves at Mayo in Nov.

Thank you for sharing with me.
