Utterly confused - general questions about MDS

Hi everybody, and by the way this site is amazing for the courage people show, and the kindness they give to each other.
With the struggle I have, the following questions pop up:
Is MDS usually a myeloid problem, or does it include also lymhoid series - or if I understood properly, the cells other than lymphocytes? Noting most people speak about neutropenia and not lymphopenia. If they all have problems (decrease), then that would mean a problem with the original stem cell?
On the other hand, if there are problems with many cell lines for a long time, it is probably not just a simple deficiency in some vitamin? -Unless inability to absorb that thing...
As one could guess my generally low normal lymphocytes dipped below the normal, while I feel like the energizer bunny without the batteries.
Best of luck for everybody
