    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?

    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.

    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).
