Question Swelling from bug bite

Hello Everyone,

I am a new member of the forum, and the daughter of a man recently diagnosed with MDS . For the last few years my Father, who is relatively young at 54, has been experiencing severe fatigue, fever, chills, nose bleeds and mood swings that his doctors attributed to rheumatoid arthritis. After a month of fever and weight loss they finally diagnosed him with MDS (this was the second fever run).

Over the last few years he has been very sensitive to infections. Today he was hospitalized because his arm was swelling down to his fingers. He had just received a transfusion yesterday, but he believes his swelling is associated with a bug bite.

Have any of you experienced any kind of swelling from bug bites or other 'natural' occurrences?

Thank you,
Erin
