Hi,
I am a 37 years male, diagnosed with Beta Thalassemia Minor in 2012.
I stumbled upon this site looking for more information on Beta Thalassemia Trait, this is a very useful site with lots of information.
Lately my haemoglobin levels started going down and I am also feeling a bit fatigued. Below are my recent blood test readings.
Can any knowledgeable member please guide me on the supplements I should take or if more detailed blood tests are required to get complete picture ?
Any help will be appreciated as I am not getting much information from my doctor.
I find Andy's posts about the supplements very useful, Just want to make sure what is applicable to my condition .
