Hi Yvonne,

Thanks for the info on flu jab, I think I’ll will have one.

I completely understand your nerves, but it will ease your mind when you speak with your Consultant.

I’ve decided to start and try and eat more carefully now with the stress recently I must admit I’ve not really been looking after myself, just concentrating on the children…[Read more]

Hi Yvonne, sorry to hear that you have been getting these aches and pains. Yes its difficult not to get paranoid like you said about every pain you feel. MGUS is a very strange diagnosis to have and though the Dr’s say that you should not worry, its hard not to. Hope the Dr’s can get to the bottom of it for you.

All the best

Hello Mike & Ted, thank you both for your messages and information. Yes I must get used to this waiting game ( im not very good at this). Its just a very strange disease and all the information and how it can vary is quite overwhelming. Thanks again. Rachel

Hi Julie,
