I will add my IGM at initial diagnosis was over 11,000 and I had multiple issues related to hyper viscosity. IGM still over 2,000 as of a month ago.

High IgM levels after a Waldenström's diagnosis typically indicate that the cancer cells are actively producing the abnormal protein, and elevated levels can lead to complications like hyperviscosity syndrome that affects blood flow and organ function. Many others in this community have navigated similar IgM challenges, and connecting with fellow patients here who understand these specific concerns can provide valuable insights about managing symptoms and treatment experiences.
