MGUS diet: Any tips on food to enjoy or prevent progression?

I was diagnosed a couple weeks ago. Im shocked and lost. I was on a fb group but the posts were giving me anxiety. I'm a little scared. Not totally sure what to do next. My Primary dr said we'll check again in 3 months but thats not enough for me. I have symptoms and need to be proactive. I appreciate any knowledge you can share with me ❤

Welcome, @chellelasvegas. You are successfully follow the Blood Cancers group and posted to this discussion about MGUS and diet. Do you have MGUS? I look forward to learning more about you and what brought you here.

Hello i am new here just found y'all on a google search. I cannot figure out how to join your group?

I had Moderna 2 dose and booster early last year before evushield. My SCT deleted that series.
I had the new evushield shot last week based on what I understood were new expanded coverages.

Thanks for your encouraging words, Wyom!

What tests were done to prove that the other vaccines were inadequate for your needs?

One concern is that they are all based on the 2019 version of COVID and other variants are circulating now.

Wishing you well!

I had evushield late last year and new series three days ago with my weekly infusion.
No side effects and no Covid so far.

Dear Ones,
Two thoughts come to mind: my IgM kappa MGUS was first diagnosed seven years ago when my weight was at all time high. I had just gone on a cruise and eaten far to liberally. No more! Subsequently I’m trying to be honest with myself and have slowly lost 8% of the excess. In online researching from peer reviewed sources, I gather gaining weight can cause MGUS to progress to MM. Suggesting see if your research verifies this. Good Luck! Healing hugs!

Hi Susan,
Sorry I don’t have any information either. I would like to know if anything will stop the progression of MGUS too.

Hugs
Linda

Dear Ginger,
Thanks for your kind reply.
I will look up the website.

Life is an ongoing process and I wish we could rely on the currently available vaccines, including your latest, to put a big stop sign up to covid variants. We can not. I wear a 3M N95 Aura mask, from Home Depot, then try to avoid being around unmasked others.
A friend caught covid after having dinner in a restaurant. I still go to restaurants, but only to order takeout foods to eat at home. I’m sorry you got MM. Hope the treatments will be gentle and that it will not interfere with your life. Wishing you well, Ginger. By the way, I like Ginger tea and it’s an antiinflammitory! Yay!

@raye Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

I also have IgM Kappa that morphed into active multiple myeloma, and am under treatment for that, since August 2021. I had two vaccinations of Pfizer, plus 2 boosters [last was just last Fri 5/6/22!] I also had the Evusheld vaccination on 2/17/22, on the advice of my oncologist.

There is a discussion in the autoimmune group about Evusheld https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/evusheld-2/ plus another discussion in the transplant group. I do not plan on being tested for Covid immunity, as it seems I have done all I can ;))
