My doctor said is was probably caused by a chemical. When I mentioned I had been in Viet Nam, she was very interested.
Does anyone else have myelodysplastic syndromes and had been around a chemical?
If not, what do you think caused your myelodysplastic syndromes?
My earliest indication something might not be right is 2-3 years ago I noticed simple routine things like just pulling weeds in the garden after 1/2 hr I'd feel weak, semi sick and I'd just lay down in the garden for 5-10 mins until the weakness passed. About the same time frame, I started getting a few little bumps on my back, chest and they would itch. My reg doc sent me to a dermatologist and he have me ointments but didn't help. At that point we weren't aware I had myelodysplastic syndromes.
