What are the symptoms of MDS?

To learn more visit www.YouAndMDS.com
MDS expert, Dr Stephen Nimer, describes the variety of symptoms that may be associated with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Symptoms vary and depend on which blood cells are low. A low red cell count (anemia) may lead to shortness of breath or fatigue. A low platelet count (thrombocyctopenia) may cause easy bruising or bleeding. A low white cell count (neutropenia) may lead to frequent infections and fever. Some people with MDS have no symptoms, and are diagnosed by chance after a routine blood test.

Thank you for your video! My husband is trying to get to the bottom of his condition of low red blood cells count, we did a bone marrow a year ago and it was normal, did another one last week, waiting for the results but his Dr. told us he can't find a cause and recommended we go to Miami and see another Dr.
