Hello I could cry this was so very informative! I was diagnosed last June with MGUS and sediment rate high first time now. Things off but m protein not present. I have peripheral neuropathy. Lessons in my brain. The answers are finally coming!!

MGUS asymptomatic? I was diagnosed with MGUS last year and have had excruciating bone pain for the past 4 years. I will be going for a 2nd opinion at another hospital as I keep hearing that I shouldn't be having this much pain, weight loss, nausea, etc.

I have mgus ankylosing spondylitis, bone pain,nerve pain. I also suffer primary lymphedema. I think they are all connected. Isn't lymph fluid plasma really??

Thanks

Excellent ❤

For MGUS, Serum M-protein < 3 g/dL,
