Hi Stephanie,

My mom has MDS. She may have had it for many years but didn't know it. The symptom she had was complete exhaustion. She could hardly walk w/ out stopping every few feet. At that time she had blood work done that showed that her HB was at 4. So her organs were not getting the oxygen they needed because there wasn't enough blood. At that time they also realized that her platelets were low. That's when she had a BMB done which confirmed MDS.

I hope this info helps you. I'm sure there are other symptoms but I think fatigue is most common.

All the best.

Paula
