my name is Ellen. I was diagnosed last year DEC. I just turned 57. I have what they are calling Low grade primary MDS. On my reports it says MDS-RS-MLD It is only affecting my red blood cells so far. Hemoglobin is usually around 8.7. I have had only one transfusion that was in Dec. I get blood work and shots of Aranesp every 2 weeks.

Hi My name is Ellen. I live in the Chicago area. I was diagnosed with Low grade MDS-RS in Dec.2017. I have been on Aranesp injections since January 2018. I get 500mcg every 2 weeks and blood work also every 2 weeks. I have had only one transfusion and that was December 2017. my Hemoglobin usually is in the 8.7 range. I am always tired and do have leg pain, although I do not know if it is related to my rheumatoid arthritis.
I started taking Yoga at the Cancer support center and it does seem to help.
I was excited to find this site and am looking forward to the support it offers.
