That's not the problem , it is good that your weight is stable at 54 kg. If weight increase then u will need more transfusion and more chelation and i do believe that ur weight is ok. 54 is good. Whats ur BMI ? ur Height?
My weight is stable at 48 since last 2-3 years and S. ferritin has been at 10048 which was at 5000 to 6000 since last 3 years and jumped to 10048 in last 1 years.
So i dontt feel that it is problem.

and ask your body that it is improving or not, your strength, appetite , mood swing will tell about improvement. Do analyse your body. Body always indicate

Bappy,

Tell us something about your typical diet. What types of food do you eat and how much and how often do you eat? Are you getting a high calorie diet?
