The Tysarbi suppresses the immune system. All monoclonal antibody drugs do that. So risk of infection is greater. Monoclonal antibodies are also used in the treatment in some types of MDS and SAA with varied success.

It's important to get a good diagnosis and proper classification of your MDS. Since you are now off the Ty, you may see it reverse. But you also need to make sure your B12, along with the other nutrients, is optimal. There are studies proving low normal b12 and low copper can be the cause of MDS and if corrected, can reverse it.

MDS has many classifications. Some are not treated because they are low-risk and not causing problems. They use different treatments depending on the type. So an accurate diagnosis is key in treating blood disorders.
