Post MDS 5q minus and Polymyalgia Rheumatica
I have had MDS 5q minus for 2 years and last spring I was also diagnosed with Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I have been taking Revlimid since April for the MDS - with terrfic results and am taking prednisone (15 mg) for the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR). I am still in a lot of pain due to the PMR.

My question is: Are there others with MDS and PMR? If so, how are you doing and what type of medication are you on?

Thank you. Jill
