| Fatigue is one of the common symptoms of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), aplastic anemia (AA) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) along with pain, depression, anxiety and stress. This can have a large impact on the quality of life of an individual. A study done by Escalante et al. looked into quality of life of individuals with MDS, AA and PNH. The average fatigue score of the patients was 28 (range 1-52) and the quality of life score was 67 (range 10-104) specifically for those with AA. The higher values of the ranges were indicative of high fatigue or better quality of life. Popular management strategies people used were preserving energy, exercise, and naps; the most popular strategy was preserving energy. (Escalante et al., 2015). People that are diagnosed with AA may be more limited to certain activities due to their increased amount of fatigue compared to those without AA. | Fatigue is one of the common symptoms of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), aplastic anemia (AA) and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) along with pain, depression, anxiety and stress.
