? Have you been tested for hypogammaglobulinaemia?

Re your fevers, have your immunoglobulin levels been tested? I am feeling so much better since being treated with Intragam (gamma globulin) which has built up my immune system - I no longer get night fevers/sweats. A lot of my unwell feelings were due to underlying unknown infections. I feel so much better now even though I have MDS RAEB2.

Hope your search for knowledge and appropriate treatment succeeds.

I found the American Cancer Society booklet most helpful in teaching me more about MDS. See http://www.cancer.org/myelodysplasti...iewguide/index
