hey reader if u r thal then i have a question for you to answer that is :

what is ur height  ??... plz dont forget to write the answer in reply 

my height is 1.63cm I hope that is right 5 feet 4 or 6 inches
and weight is around 51kg

I'm 160cm or 5'3" and weigh an embarrassing 35kg

My daughter is 121 cm and weighs 26 kg.

ZAINI.

Ops i forgot to mention my wiehgt soo ...
ahum . ... ahum....  43 Kg ....

oops I did it wrong....
My height is wrong its 163cm 5 feet 4inches
Weight is about 51kg.

Sajid never be embarrased
It took me 35 years to reach over 50kg and maintain it
Be proud, you are doing great.

thats ok wid the height,,,usually thals dont hav much heights bcuz of the reason that iron interferes in this area ...and those thal wid more height often hav themselves damaged by iron somewhere else ,, i ws "ONLY" damaged in growth and hight by iron ... mine too is 5.1 ........ weight keeps on changing 44-46  ....

actual thing is the height of ur character... not the apparent height .
Reach upto the level that 6" ppl envies ... b more energetic stamina confidence self esteem knowledge and acheivements  .. after which ppl would look upon u ...as a gr8 man . 

Waleed, I believe you are right.
God made up for the thal by giving us all....
Excellent strength in our selves (ego), Stubborn ( won't take no) , self accomplishments, warm characters and just wonderful people to know and love
I could go on..... but we all know what great people we are.

But what I lack in height is I make up for the loudness....

I am a little pocket rocket...hahahahaha

My voice makes up for my height...

Cheriann we are all what you said and more!!!!

Well I started treatment young, but it has to do with your hereditary too...My family isnt that tall either...well my mother and father arent that tall, I am taller than my mother and alittle shorter than my father...My sister is the tallest in my family..

Take care all...

is there only five active member on the site ..no  definately no ..then reply friends .. we have to make result wat could b thals average height and weight soo plz help me finding out the results ...

Umair, it's about genes and your locality.

A similar topic was on another forum and one of their Dutch member is about 6 or 7 feet high. Don't you see the hockey matches. Our players look like kids in front of them.

Umair, it's about genes and your locality.

yeah buddy :
i know that .. but it is for the people who feell that they r  not as tall as  a normal person ... i started this thread to make a thread in which they can asses that is not bcoze of thalasemia ....
and they can feel that they are as tall as normaly other thals r ...

in the other hand i want to say that ... as Iron effect's on the growth it could also  effect on ur height ... in my relatives and cousin they r about around  5.10 ......
i m only 5 feet there is a big diffrence ... it doesn't matter for me ..but it was a general question  to the thal's view ...

Just to clarify this.. I DONT FEEL INFERIOR that I am short... I love my height infact...

As Sajid has mentioned before..It does have to do with genes... But the local part doesnt really count, cause I have relatives that are 6ft tall and they are in australia nd greece....

I also know of alot of Thal Major patients who are tall and their parents who are shorter than they are...

Thank you..
