Sometimes , God breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes , He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes , He sends us pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes , He sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes , He sends us illness so we can take better care of our selves.
Sometimes , He takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything we have.

Guys!! I can't tell you how happy and proud i feel when i see thals from Pakistan who believe that they can do anything and they have accomplished what they wanted :hugfriend you all must know there were days when thal was (and in some regions it still is ) was considered a death sentence,parents were told (and are still being told unfortunately) that their kids will be lucky to live their teenage lives,i have lost a cousin to thal,i was only a kid at that time,but when my daughter was diagnosed,my aunt,who lost her daughter to thal,she was devastated,she didn't say much but her face was a story itself,story of despair and hopelessness,and i was looking upto her at that time knowing that she had a daughter with thal,but i am so happy that i found this forum,where i met people like you guys and other who gave me the hope that there is so much awaiting for my daughter in her life,and one day she might be writing this herself here,with a solid career and life.

I feel like i am rambling now so i should sign off  :rotfl just wanna say again,i am so proud of you guys  :hugfriend .

Zaini.

Zaini,

I am very happy that thals all over can find hope in this site. When I was a member of TIF Board of Directors, some ten years ago, we went to Amman, Jordan, to hold a Board meeting there and at the same time to talk to some local associations and offer our help. On the last day there, we, the thals-members of the Board of Directors gathered and talked in front of say 300-400 people, Arab doctors and patients. The feeling I got there, was that each and every thal in the crowd was looking at us trying to find hope in our faces. There were thals and parents and doctors and nurses all related to thalassemia. It was very touching and we did our best to show them that their life is not over, that there is future, there is hope.

That is exactly what one can find in this site: Hope. And that is what you describe when talking about thals from Pakistan and I would add from all over and especially from countries where people are not yet convinced that thal is not a fatal disease.

That is why this site reminds me of that day I lived in Amman.  You see, I get the same feeling.

Let's try to keep this site going. It is a window of hope to every thal.

waleed and zaini sis,

in our society being detected as thalassemic is very alarming, i had to bear the same feeling a month ago when najaf was diagonised, every one (outsiders) had the feeling that there was no future of najaf, and she would be lucky if she survived till teenage........ they gave the examples of other thalassemics....there attitude was as though they r condoling us
 every time on phone and whenever i visited home i was trying to convince my family that INSHA ALLAH najaf will live a normal life.........

and as far as doctor's behaviour is concerned i just experienced it last week.......
we visited Children Hospital Lahore and i had a very sad feeling that no one is ready to hear us, they just kept on referring to other doctors, they didnt show any interest,
the doctors very arrogant and not ready to answer my questions.........
and the worst of all, the most senior doctor told us that there is no cure except transfusions and he said there was no need to come again to me just keep on transfusing her. no medicine.... no special dietry advice........nothing at all..........
he didnt even said a single word of hope for us............
i dont know what king of experience waleed has but it was my worst......

Abbas

Abbas,

What you said,it happens,almost all of us has suffered through this experience,so the key is to educate your own self,and all doctors are not bad,some are semi bad too  :rotfl who might give up their arrogance and will listen to you eventually,but you'll have to be patient,at least this has been my experience.To tell you the truth there are some awesome doctors in the world like Dr Vichinsky and Manal's son's doctor (i am sorry i can't recall the name) ,they are working seriously for patients,and in my city doctor who has inspired me a bit is Tahir Shamsi,i haven't met him much but he seems like a competitive one,and we have heard praise for Dr Javeria from Umair,so eventually you'll find one too.

Zaini.

yes sisters,

i got a good doctor, we are also consulting Dr. Javeria i heard about her from umair, so after dreadful experience at hospital, we went to Dr. Javeria
i have a lot of soft words for her, she was a total contrast. when Najaf showed signs of anxiety in front of her she gave her a toffee, pampered her and Najaf went OK.
i agree that not all of them are arrogant but still lot of them are so...............
