Am I safe in getting Sculptura if I have MGUS? Thank you

February 2, 2015
Asked By:paula551 in Glendale, CA

I have MGUS which I monitor each year - no medication. I would like to have Sculptura treatments, but the treatments shouldn't be given if you have any auto-immune disease. Is MUGUS considered auto-immune and is arthritis (which I also have) a disease that would prevent a successful outcome of the treatment as well?
