I was diagnosed over 6 years ago. CBC remained fairly constant. I received 2 covid vaccines, 1st in Feb and 2d in Apr 2021. In August of this year, my CBC dropped to record lows. Now I require transfusions and arenesp nearly every 21 days. Also have unbelievable blood blisters inside my cheeks and on my tongue. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?
December 6, 2021 at 5:12 pm #56912MarParticipantI got my Pfizer booster on 8/24/2021. Regular blood draw on 9/20 showed nucleated RBC at 114. Was referred to hematologist. DX is MDS. I see doctor this Wednesday to go over gene testing, pathology report and DNA. Can’t help to wonder if there is a correlation.
December 16, 2021 at 11:06 am #56965Mary RothParticipantI was diagnosed with MDS (bone marrow biopsy) in April 2020. Doctors had suspected it for awhile, but, I didn’t consent to be tested, at first. Anyway, I had Pfizer in Feb. and April, and it didn’t change my every 3 month blood draws. I got my booster in Oct. shortly after a blood draw, so don’t get next draw till Jan.
December 16, 2021 at 11:19 am #56966Mary RothParticipantI don’t know how to edit after I post. But, I meant to say I was diagnosed in April 2021.
December 19, 2021 at 9:49 pm #57001Jack RyneckiParticipantJan 2017 i was diagnosed Low Grade MDS after a bone marrow biopsy. Have had CBCs every 3 months since. RBCs, WBCs and pltls low but not requiring treatment and no symptoms.
Vaccinated Jan and March 2021 with Pfizer and booster in Oct.
Small drop in WBC in my latest (Nov ) CBC, otherwise nothing.December 19, 2021 at 10:17 pm #57002MarParticipantI wrote to CDC….THIS IS WHAT I GOT BACK
Thank you for contacting CDC. I’m sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
At this time, data does not indicate a causal association between COVID-19 vaccines and Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
To address your questions further, we searched data from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). VAERS is a national vaccine safety monitoring system managed by CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). VAERS accepts reports of possible side effects (also called “adverse events”) following vaccination. The system is not designed to determine whether a reported adverse event was caused by the vaccine, but serves as an early warning system and helps CDC and FDA identify areas for further study.
As of December 7, 2021, VAERS has received 688,565 reports for all adverse events for the COVID-19 vaccine. Of those 21 (0.003%) are reports of Myelodysplastic Syndromes after receiving the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine. Three of the 21 patients had a prior history of myelodysplastic syndrome.
As of December 7, 2021, more than 473 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the United States.
January 18, 2022 at 5:25 pm #57187cassie laliberteParticipantCDC won’t admit Covid 19 association with anything because they are backing the jab which is gene therapy with longterm unknown side effects. I am Legal Guardian to a family member who contracted MDS five months after receiving the second Moderna jab…….I believe it is the ’cause’ of MDS in this person.
Has no history of this syndrome and out of no where ends up with MDS. Now he has developed pleural effusion and has been hospitalized since Jan 2, 22. Pulmonary and Thoracic doctors are baffled by this and are trying desperately to control it. Tired of what ‘ISN”T KNOWN’ about MDS and the lack of knowledge of this condition. -
