Joseph,
We only know about MM. I think both are progressive, but I think with diet and supplements, you can slow or stop progression. I highly recommend Dr Brandy’s book, “Beat Back Cancer Naturally.” Dr Brandy has MM. He is a doctor, so thought since he had access to lots of information, unlike us, he would do some research. I found his very affordable book, informative.

Is multiple sclerosis related to MGUS or monoclonal gammopathy?

The available information doesn't show a direct connection between multiple sclerosis and MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance).

Research has observed links between some autoimmune diseases and myeloma development, particularly conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The theory is that chronic inflammatory responses in these conditions may trigger the development of MGUS, which can be a precursor to myeloma.

However, multiple sclerosis isn't specifically mentioned among the autoimmune conditions studied in relation to MGUS or myeloma. The focus has been on chronic inflammatory rheumatological diseases rather than neurological autoimmune conditions.

If you're concerned about this connection, it would be worth discussing with your healthcare provider, as they can evaluate your specific situation and any potential risk factors.
