I am 68 and have been receiving iron sucrose infusions due to severe anemia for 7 yts. Jan 2017 a bone biopsy indicate MDS. This last January and Febuary my Hgb fell as low as 6.5 and 6.7 have had 2 units of blood and weekly iron infusions since. on 1/31/18 my hgb was 8.4 and today a 8.3. I am dropping again. I am also on procrit and las week my dosage was uped to 30 units and I dropped. I am symptomatic with chest tightness, shortness of breath on walking or upper body movement, large muscle pain, and a lot of belhging and bruping. Does anyone else has gastric distress with MDS and/or procrit?
