Smile Chloroquine tx for MDS

Hi Cherl C-I found your post regarding malaria interesting as I have been on high does of chloroquine an antimalarial for MDS-RARS. I've never had malaria by the way. There are a couple of studies that showed some promise with MDS. My Hemoglobin went from 6.8 to 9.0, but has since dropped to 6.9. There are some side effects with chloroquine...it can cause blindness, GI issues, and it bleached my hair blonde-better than the gray it once was
