Interesting post - I was diagnosed with MDS two years ago - but had hive like skin nodules, aches and fatigue for two years prior to the MDS diagnosis. Originally thought it might be Lyme Disease and was initially treated for that - but from whatever origin inflammation and autoimmune symptoms preceded any abnormal blood counts. I'm still not convinced the autoimmune process wasn't triggered by Lyme - or tick bites - that then triggered an autoimmune reaction in the bone marrow that turned into MDS...
