Hi kemp31,
I wouldn't panic at this point or worry too much about things like MDS until you meet with the hematologist. If they are concerned, they will order another blood test first, before doing anything else.
Many things can cause a person to be slightly anemic. Maybe you had a virus, which can decrease counts for a few months even after you feel better.
As Neil suggested, it would be good to get things like Vitamin D, iron, and B-12 checked.
If you are getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night and still wake up feeling exhausted, that is a sign that something is wrong!
