    I have been diagnosed with MDS and have been relying on red blood cell and platelet transfusion for about 6 months. Recently I have had two bouts of abdominal pain which does not feel to be related to the intestine as I have no nausea and can eat OK but have a reduced appetite.The pain is worse when I am sitting down. It is not so bad that I feel I need urgent medical help, but it is quite debilitating so just wondered if it was a typical symptom/complication of the MDS and if I should mention it to my doctor? Would appreciate any advice.

    Karena,
    You should mention it to your doctor. I don’t know if that is a symptom of MDS or not, I have not experienced anything like it, but I am not having transfusions either. As I am sure you have read, this disease effects everyone a little different. Let you doctor know of any developments you experience. I wish you all the best.
