I have Thalassemia B and I’ve seen a hematologist for years. There are new treatments out there for Thalassemia that are helpful and they are also working on a cure. I don’t have cancer, but I go to a cancer center for treatment. They check my blood and then I either receive an EPO injection or an Iron infusion and they really work. It really depends on what your bloodwork looks like. My sister also has Thalassemia and she gets B12 injections. Every person is different. After a few months of my treatment, I was even able to obtain a Hemoglobin of 12. That’s the highest I’ve ever been. It does continue to go up and down, my lowest was 8. but at least I get a temporary relief from the fatigue. There are also rumors of a new stem cell treatment that can possibly cure some blood disorders. It has been affective in curing some cases of Sickle Cell. So, if you have Thalassemia, you definitely need to see a specialist. It can get worse with age like mine did, so it’s good to get a baseline while you’re younger. Relief is possible.
