Could Blood Disorder Be Caused By Muscle Infection?
Hi My sister s husband has been sick for two years. Doctor s still have no definite diagnosis. MDS has been thrown out as a possibility. CMML. He is blood transfusion dependent and he is now getting Chemo treatments. My sister is frustrated because the doctors can not tell her what her husband has. She thinks it could be as simple as a muscle infection that has never been treated. She thinks no one is listening to her. She doesn t understand. I don t know how to help her understand. She is so upset. Thinks something simple could save her husband if the doctors would just listen to her and treat him for a muscle infection. they can t rule it out because they can t do a muscle test as they are afraid if they do he will bleed out. Could it really be something simple everyone is missing?
Hi I think a muscle infection will be visible on imaging. I don't think a doctor is going to start chemotherapy without a suspicion of malignancy. I know this is a tough time for you and your sister but my advice to your sister is to trust your doctor. If she feels that some misdiagnosis has happened, she can always take a second opinion. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
