I have MDS too. Anemia is being treated with Procreit shots every 2 weeks. Started eating beans & spinach. We'll see if that helps. Cannot reach 12!

I too have MDS. You should ask your doc to check your ferritin level before you munch on too much spinach & beans. Some MDS can have iron overload w/o having any transfusions.
I have iron overload and it is not a good thing as it can cause toxic reactions in your organs. Phlebotomy or chelation therapy is needed if ferritin levels get too high.
Just a head’s up and God Bless!
