Pdaw, My doctor initially said my BMB was a mess (this was over 4 yrs ago) he also indicated it looked like MDS he has since backed off the MDS diagnosis and now thinks it might be a auto-immune condition attacking my wbc and platelets but never rules out MDS at some point. All of my counts were low. My RBC and HBG has risen from 3.5 and 12 to 4.6 and 16 and are normal now. Based on what I read this board and elsewhere I made various changes- 1. no alcohol 2. more exercise 3. adopted healthier eating habits which took a long time but I think the big hitters are no processed food, eat mostly organic meats and vegetables and fruits, no sugar. 4. try to reduce stress. It took a long time for my numbers to start moving in the right direction.
