@shannyd Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It's very easy to get concerned when seeing results we weren't expecting. I agree with @loribmt to not go down the rabbit hole of Dr. Google. That's downright scary and can bring unwanted anxiety!
Here, sit with me at the table, a cuppa tea and a few cookies are set up for you. Let's talk about your fears and concerns. Take some time to write out what is most concerning. Come Tuesday, you'll be ready to calmly listen, and ask any questions.

I was referred to a hematology oncologist after I had routine bloodwork last September. The only thing I was told about my tests was that I shouldn’t expect perfect bloodwork at age 74, and to come back for more bloodwork in a year. It wasn’t until I looked on mychart that I learned I have monoclonal paraproteinemia. I googled it, and MGUS popped up. I’ve read that there are no symptoms with MGUS, but I often feel extremely tired. I’m also fighting frequent sinus issues, and feel headachy and just blah. Is this normal?? Should I be concerned?

Hi Ginger, thank you for your kind words. My results alarm me, and I’m trying to figure out why I feel so crappy all the time. I’ll have to just wait for my doctor to call and go from there I guess.
