My doctor said my blood work is consistent with beta thal minor.
WBC 5.7
RBC 5.51
Hemoglobin 10.3
Hematocrit 33.1
MCV 60

MCHC 31.1
RDW 18.5
Hgb F 1.7
Hgb A 93.2
Hgb A2 5.1
Iron serum 66 ng/ml
Vitamin D 34
Just started the following supplements based on advice I saw on this forum:
Vitamin E 400 IU
Vitamin D 5000 IU
Folic acid 400 mcg
Vitamin B complex (don't remember the amounts, but it was like 1000%)
Zinc 50 mg
CoQ10 200mg
Wheatgrass tablets
Magnesium 100mg
Is there anything else I can be doing? I exercise when I have time, which usually ends up being 1-2x per week. I got my vitamin D up from 28 to 34 over the course of a year, and recently doubled my dose since it was moving so slowly. My worst symptom is fatigue, I could sleep all the time if I let myself. I don't want to be a couch potato anymore!
