Title: Hi I'm Kimi
Post by: kimi on March 29, 2008, 07:32:53 PM

Hello,

I am new to this group and I hope that someone can help me. I am B Thal Minor and my sister, Chere', is B Thal Major. Like many ppl here, when I was younger my doctor's said that I was only mildly anemic, but I fount out that I had the Thal trait when I was ~17. The doctor's said I didn't need to take any meds specifically, but keep up my iron. But now after doing lots of research on this site for my sister, I've found that I have a lot in common with many of your stories. I suffered from dizzy spells and fatique as a child and I also suffer frome extreme fatigue now as an adult. I will start taking folic acid soon and I am also looking for other Vitamin and Natural supplements that may help my siter's Thal. She has hBs Thal Intermedia and she is currently on very hard meds b/c she also suffers from extreme joint pain. I am greatful that I have found this group and I hope to learn a lot and to get to know all of you. Take care and keep my family in you prayers (and I'll do the same).
