How can a chiropractor treat myelodysplasia if there is no pain?

I am sorry, but a chiropractor cannot. For some reason, when I initially searched for the term 'myelodysplasia', I read that it was a spinal deformity. I hope that explains my previous answer. Seen as myelodysplasia is described as pre-leukemia, I think that the best course of action for you would probably be to treat the condition the same way as the alternative movement treats cancer. You should research the relationship between cancer and oxygenation, along with body PH. I will attach a link to help you with your research.

What is life expectancy with myelodysplasia?

Life expectancy for individuals with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) can vary widely depending on several factors, including the specific type of MDS, the patient's age, overall health, and response to treatment. Some patients may live many years with effective management, while others may experience a more aggressive disease course leading to a shorter life expectancy. Generally, the prognosis is more favorable for those with lower-risk MDS compared to those with higher-risk forms. Regular monitoring and tailored treatment plans are crucial for improving outcomes.


How is diabetes and myelodysplasia connected?

In Myelodysplastic Syndromes (or Diseases) the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Patients are usually elderly, who went through chemotherapy or radiotherapy at some earlier time for another malignancy. Depending on the percentage of blast cells (immature precursor cells = cells the bone marrow released into the blood before it "matured") the diseases classified as low grade (less than 5% blast cells) or High risk (more then 5% blast cells). Central diabetes insipidus (associated with decreased production/release of anti-diuretic hormone into the blood), is different from Diabetes Mellitus (lack/resistance to insulin hormone). On rare occasions, if the leukaemia cells infiltrate the Hypothalamus, severely enough to affects its anti-diuretic hormone balance, Central Diabetes Insipidus becomes a complication of Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
