Cause for nausea?

Bailie, thank you.
I didn't catch the wording "stem cell transplant", I heard "transplant", and the doctor mentioning looking into Donor banks. When I let him know of my other 4 siblings, he said their blood could be flown in for testing instead of them flying all the way in.
Hopeful, cytogenetics results came out OK, I think : 46,XX[20]

I had always thought after being diagnosed with MDS, patients had a few years before being admitted. The doctor said it varies from patient to patient, but in my case it was going to be a MONTHLY blood check, and admittance in the near future.

My symptoms now are: easily fatigued, sinus migraines, nausea (indigestion?) and excess menstrual bleeding (the doctor said from having low platelets). For the fatigue, I can rest; the periods only come every few weeks, but the NAUSEA is getting to me. I googled "MDS and nausea" but nothing much came out. I am lactose intolerant, so maybe ice cream, eggs, ramen, etc should be deleted from my diet. Any practical advice on this area would be really appreciated. Thank you.
Meri
