Does anyone else have MGUS?

Posted by mjlandin @mjlandin, Jun 4, 2022

I was diagnosed with MGUS last October and although I've done a lot of research, I feel there's still so much I don't know. Does anyone else have MGUS?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

My daughter has been diagnois with MGUS. I have been researching to see if it was from the Covid vaccine? Any answers are welcomed.

@samraz, I thought I'd tag you on this discussion to connect you with others living with MGUS.

Hi, I’m 49 years old and just got an Mgus diagnosis. I’ve been trying to find out all I can and have so many questions. I’d like to connect with other Mgus people with more experience and knowledge. Thank you!

Dear Tracy, just saw this note on this very special forum. I have Kappa light chain mgus. I don’t know if there is truth to this , but have seen it 3 or 4 times about curcumin helping to those of us with mgus. Please know you have lots of good support here. Highly intelligent folks giving wonderful advice. Take care. 🥰

Patty,
You started my day with a smile on my face! And I’m helping with that spewed coffee.

Sending you mutually beneficial gifts wrapped in arms: Hugs!

Cheers!

I was also recently diagnosed with MGUS. I enjoyed reading response from @pmm - very good advice. I am about same age as her. Was diagnosed last August 2022. I already had my "foot in the door", so I go to MD Anderson/Houston for appointments/blood work etc.
