What this does, besides all the dunning inferences...is that
it thickens the blood. This factor alone can slow the circulation
to the feet and hands, making PN more likely.
So to minimize that:
1) avoid high fat meals. This thickens the blood. Some fats are okay but really high fats, like fried food and ice cream may increase triglycerides and increase the viscosity of the blood. Studies show this happens in normal volunteers. So MGUS patients should pay attention to this.
2) Make sure you use magnesium in some form as this opens up the circulation and improves blood flow.
3) things like Vit E and fish oil also may increase circulation better.
Anything that improves blood flow, is good. Cold, smoking, or use of drugs like Sudafed or decongestants, is not a good idea.
