Unhappy My MDS and fever

Thought this may be the place to post. I'm in the middle of horrid fevers again but glad there is a rest period in between. I've read many of the stories here & each is so different. I've had bad fevers a couple of times a year. This is the first time I've tried staying at home. With my hydrolyte (to stay hydrated) and visits to go for blood test etc. I'm doing ok considering. But exhausted. Sure my Hb is low.

Just wondering if there is actual proof that fevers of unknown origin are a symptom of MDS?

Learning that these fevers are something I may need to live with. I'm trying hard! It does intrude on my life. All I can do is just ride it out once more.
