I had mgus and osteoporosis at 40, Lupus, Sjögren’s, and I’m in my 60’s and I have neuropathy.
Google Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
Does anyone with Morphoea have MGUS?

I have MGUS & started on LDN (low dose naltrexone) 3 months ago. The bone pain in my hips & lower back has gone away. I have heard of people with MGUS staying on LDN for years and not getting myeloma. It’s giving me hope.
I went on it for a few months, and it did nothing for me, so I went off
Can we give arsenox in home?
Dr. Berenson. You mention in minute 7 that MM and MGUS might be infectious. What evidence do you have for that?
Good
i'm 61 and in Feb. was diagnosed with breast cancer turn out I have stage 4, but kidney dr did test for multiple melyoma and thinks i mgus i have symptoms everyone here has stated . m spike was .78 kappa 689 protein ratio kappa-lamba was 1.79 pet scan shows lesion everwhere in skeleton, now i am seeing hematologist Aug. 30th
Were you stationed at Camp Lejuene? MGUS is now presumed to be caused by the toxic water that was there.
My 76 yr old mother has myeloma, she's had stem cell treatment. Im 57 have mgus, my 51 yr old sister has mgus. We all suffer with pain , fatigue etc my specialist is knowledgable but when seeing my GP/ he/she , never get to see same one ,DWP seem to think there are no side effects . Seem to fight aloosing battle.
Was your father ever stationed at Camp Lejuene? MGUS is presumed to be related to the toxic water that people drank at Camp Lejuene between 1952 and 1987
My MGUS keeps going up. Started with .3, .6., .8 and .9 g/dl m spike. I have osteopenia. What drug did you prescribe to help bone loss? My hematologist is worried that my m spike will keep rising in a few years and then they will have to put me in a critical trial at 1.5 g/dl. Is this true? My K/L ratio fluctuates from 1.76 and 2.0 which is a little high. Should I visit an MM specialist?
I can’t understand why a doctor hasn’t put you on calcium for bone loss and for bone loss. You should be asking a doctor, these questions, not asking the Internet.
My name is Sunli gandhi, Dr. Harvey is the only herbal doctor who could ever get my HIV cured with his herbal products. I have tried almost everything but I couldn’t find any solution for the virus, despite all these happening to me, I always spend a lot of money to buy HIV drugs and other supplements to keep me Healthy and taking several medications. Until one day I was just surfing through UA-cam when I came across a great post from Anita, who said that she was diagnosed with HIV and was healed through the help of this great herbal supplements of Dr Harvey, Sometimes I really wonder why people call him the great Dr.Harvey, I never knew it was all because of the great and perfect work that he has been doing. So I quickly contacted him and told him everything happening to me, and he asked me a few questions and he said something I will never forget, that anyone who contacts him is always getting his/her cure within a few weeks after doing all he asks them to do. So I was amazed all the time I heard that from him, so I did everything he said only to see that at the very day which he said I will be cured and should go for a test to confirm my status, I went to hospital for the final test and the doctor after running the test said I'm HIV Negative wow. I'm very amazed and happy about this cure i have really gone through so much pain and tears for this Dr.Harvey cured me with the help of his natural herbs.If you have anybody going through this same Situation or any kind of cancers or Diseases at all contact Dr Harvey today he cures them all save a life today. You can contact Dr.Harvey VIA EMAIL:[Drharveyphytotherapy@yahoo.com] WHATSAPP:+1 (516) 468‑3210
Did anyone research on curcumin
Yes, and other anti-oxidants. CURCUMIN is just one of many spices, foods, and herbs on an anti-inflammatory diet that can help. Likewise getting off sugar and meat but fish.
Whats the cause of MGUS?
Unknown.
Good day to you my name is Joy how are you doing and feeling today I am new to your channel and I am 59 and living with Hiv and my doctor told me that I have Monoclonal Gammopathy .I has a appointment on Monday January 6th to see my doctor at the Hematology Clinic in Houston Texas at the Smith Clinic .if you have Hiv and Monoclonal Gammopathy will make it me sick Joy at joyannadavis12@gmail.com
Great, totally demoralizing for those with Mgus in their 40s. Quite unsensitive
Don’t you think it is better to know what may happen than to be hit with it out of the blue later? I am grateful I know. Helps me get all my ducks in a row, so to speak.
Especially if it’s not taken serious by your doctors. I am 43 with MGUS and doctors don’t think it is necessary to look more into it 😕
@@melrosemiss what do you mean? Get ready to die?
Would you rather a doctor LIE to you??
@@dennistesdell3243 He says it in a very insensitive way.
A m-protein was found on my electrophoresis. I had a value of .27 gm/dL which I know isn't "bad" in the way of myeloma or my risk to progress. However, I just turned 28, so that gives me many years to progress. We also haven't characterized the M-spike yet so we really don't know which antibody it is or if there is an outside cause.... I am pretty calm after researching but I am VERY symptomatic. I have weird pains in my ribs, back, and legs and even my elbows... I guess we will find out soon. I just wish more people were studying symptoms in younger people and MGUS. And every study I've seen involved older folks (40 or older).
Britney Nicole i have some issues now too
Get a doctor who knows what to test so you can KNOW what your other values are, especially if you have bone pain and other chronic symptoms!
Thank you for making this video.
That left speaker audio is killing me.
LIKE THE STYLE OF PRESENTATION BY THE DOCTOR. VERY CLEAR METHOD!
be carefull velcade kill 1/3patients in the first injection for patients stage 3 heart involvement .My wife have amyloidosis al in the heart. Doctors want change her heart and stem cell transplant 8 months ago.We stop chemiotherapy after 3 cycles and take egcg in green tea, resveratrol, curcumin high dosage fish pil, and now his heart is new, her septum thickness decrease from 19 at 12 mm in 6 months. See this page, his the story from oncologist prof werner hunstein . We have make a facebook group. AMYLOIDOSIS INTERNATIONAL. www.hunstein-egcg.de
I don't want to go back to work and work till I drop dead deal, but it seems only wheelchair persons get disability and cancer don't count as a disability. That sucks.
Does every MM patient have mugs illness first
I'm tired of MGUS being brushed aside. I have MGUS, not myeloma and have extreme bone pain, fatigue, and one infection after another. I just had a sinus infection, shingles and a uti all in a 3 week period. I do not live a normal life and had to leave my job. I've read posts of people with MGUS who are suffering in the same way. Many of us are severely immunocompromised. And yes it is due to MGUS.
Me too, change my whole life.
I am so happy to see this! I have terrible symptoms and they just found the M-spike. The rheumatologist all but brushed it aside and said it couldn't be responsible for my symptoms. I am sure if I didn't press the issue he wouldn't even have the M-protien typed.
I agree! I too have MGUS and I am seeking other individuals who have it so that we can discuss what works for them, what does not. I am trying to learn as much as possible.
I just got diagnosed with MGUS. Im 34 year old male. I have been chronically ill for 10 months now would love to chat with some people who are in a similar position as I am
Get a doctor who WILL pay more attention or send you to the right specialists! You have to be a strong advocate for yourself if you feel you are being "brushed aside!"
Thank you. Gracias.
Support group for MGUS on Facebook "MGUS/smoldering myeloma and related neurapthy support group"
Please join my mgus support group. For mgus and related neuropathy as well as smoldering myeloma
how do i join your group
How do I find you there?
Thanks for helping with the pronunciation of Lenalidomide. My colleague and I had no idea how to say the name before watching your video.
epic video, helped alot!
Thank you you so much for the interview with Dr. Berenson. It was through patient power that I learned about Dr. James Berenson and his work in multiple myeloma. In fact, I just finished an appointment with Dr. Berenson 6 hours ago. We drove 500 miles to see him but it was the trip well worth making.
@bigdaddylonglove Keep the fight big D, I will keep in my little notebook of MM warriors, that I faithfully take out and remember in thought and prayer daily. I send you strength for the fight and joy for the days.
I just read that Mark passed away in May 2011. Even though I never met him, I feel devastated for his family's loss. A brother in blue from the east coast.
God bless you brother! I pray that your doctors were able to get you back into remission. I too was diagnosed with MM in August 2006 at the age of 38. I'll try reaching out to you at the MBPD. -Michael
Hope all is well Mark!!! my dad was MBPD 1962-1992...you are brothers!
