So far
 
REtired March of 09..this year really felt run down, went for a physical and declared anemic.
went into the hospital, ran every test, including bmb and concluded I have mds. Sent to Vanderbilt for a second opion and verified including another bmb. I was put on predisone at 60mg and now on revlimid 10 mg, predisone 20mg, plus a procrit shot every Friday. I am feeling pretty good, other than hand cramps at times. I also had a transfusion of 3 units in the hospital and 2 units 2 weeks ago. I appreciate the info on your line.

Hand cramping? APO-K helps me...
 
Before dx with MDS I was on slow-release potassium chloride tablets (2x APO-K 8MEQ) to reduce hand cramping episodes. YMMV but now a single tablet per day works for me.:cool:
