Jen,
I don't have any medical training, but it does sound like there are most likely two separate issues that you are working with. Having read just about every article and journal I can get my hand on, Ihave not yet read anything about seizures being associated with MDS. Folic acid deficiency can reduce blood counts and cause cell dysplasia that mimics MDS. Unfortunately, the Trisomy 8 is associated with hematological malignancy like MDS, PMF, and AML. (sorry for the acronym soup).
The members of this site have been fantastic in helping me understand MDS and the impact on my life and the people around me. The knowledge and compassion shared here is great.
