Experiencing fatigue that makes living alone a bit of a challenge

@donnamae90 Fatigue is a problem with MDS. I too live alone. I have accepted that I do not have the stamina or strength that I once had, but I still have a good quality of life. We make changes. This year, I gave up motorcycling after 22 years of riding. I felt that I should not ride when I was tired. Fatigue is still present but not as bad since I am now stabilized on Revlimid. Have you started treatment? Where is your Hemoglobin at?

Donnamae,

I am doing very well. I was in a research study to prevent GVHD symptoms and so far, 253 or so days past transplant i have not had any. Yet, being part of connect here, I am reminded that recovery is a day at time. Something may happen to trigger something. So for today, I wear masks and do not hang out in big groups. My blood test numbers are still excellent expect for my white cells that dipped below the minimum needed. My Dr. was not worried so i see him again on January 10th.
Abone marrow transplant patient is a patient for life. at 6 months, my donor was 100% of me. Next BMB is in late March.
