Seizures and MDS
Jen;
I am not a physician for sure - but am an RN,BSN. It is my husband who has MDS. To my knowledge and after a lot of research for him - I have not run into any studies where it shows the two are correlated.
Seizures - partial or complex - are a neurological problem - the synapses in the brain misfire - and don't make the correct connection - and a seizure results.
MDS, on the other hand, is a hematologic/oncologic problem, and there are several types of MDS. Most of the people here are very helpful, and a lot more educated than I since most of them have been dealing with it for a while longer than my husband and me.
I would tend to agree with your primary doc and say they are two different but serious things. Good Luck to you.
Beth
