Hi Namitha,
     I'm glad you found this site; it really helps to talk to other people who have thalassemia. I also have intermedia. I am from the U.S. Do you have to get transfusions? I started them 3 years ago. Good luck to you.  Jean  :wave

HI Namitha and welcome to the group.  :biggrin

When did you break your femur? Is it healing properly? Hope you are well and playing cricket again soon.  :wink

Glad to know that you are back on the field again. But this time watch out for that "Leg Break" :wink

(For those who don't know much about cricket; that was a pun as "Leg Break" in cricket terms means the standard type of ball bowled by a leg spin bowler, which spins from the leg to the off to a right-handed batsman.)

Hi Namitha,

A belated welcome to the group from my side!!!

Good to hear that you are well now, but do check up on your bone density. Your calcium may be low (hazards of thal), and require replenishment.

Do you play for the univ? What role?

Cheers
