Anyone have both Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) & Parkinson's?

Lori,
Thanks for responding.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2011.
My platelets have dropped from 225 in 2018 to 47 currently. I was diagnosed with MDS in March of 2024 following a bone marrow biopsy. It is being watched and it has not been treated. I am not a candidate for bone marrow transplant as I have too many co-morbidities.
I was wondering whether PD and MDS can coexist without major consequences. If there are any special considerations?
Appreciate feedback and advice. Thanks
Barbara
