A much need video.Excellent, should have been done many years ago. I lost my 11 year old daughter after a bone marrow transplant to cure her thalassemia major .
I got Thalassemia :( And I feel weak and tired sometimes, get headaches when I get up too fast, and have sleeping problems. I hope I can get rid of it. :/ And hopefully I won't pass it down to my children.

I was born with beta thalassemia minor and my little brother was completely healthy. He ended up being the perfect match for me to have a bone marrow/stem cell transplant. I ended up having it twice because the first one didn't work due to a partial dosage of chemo and radiation. with the full chemo and radiation, the transplant was successful. This happened when i was 11 and 12 years old. I'm 29 now and healthy as can be. Wishing your family the best.
Got thal minor ( it's not minor you can't live normal life!). Might be long here or maybe make video about it. Gona mention how I feel symptoms in young age & now how people/family react to it, what works & what hasn't for me. I've had this for years but never really took anything for it until recently. Now in late 30s i feel its affects a bit more. Young age I was like any other kid I didn't know about it till in my teens. Dr's either didn't know about it or just brushed aside. I was given a small card by my dr to carry I remember with my condition mentioned on it. Said need to show incase I'm admitted to hospital. But never thought much of it really tbh. It didn't bother me. But recently 2 3 years ago had a couple blood test after feeling fatigued a lot. According to my dr my iron was low can't remember exactly what it was but prescribed iron tablets to take over a month. They didn't do anything & I know too much iron is not good to. Someone mentioned here the dr say the word "crash" to them. Basically you will crash. That's exactly how I feel on occasions unable to get up. Thank God mentally in strong which is how I overcome this.
This video is highly informative, and it makes this scary condition easily understandable for young children. I was never aware that so many young people had thylassaemia and it's an eye opening experience to learn about more it. Came here from Girly_Wolfgamer's gacha.
Hi this video is super educative, i’d love to find a similar video regarding sickle cell disease. The language is simple and easily understood by children.
Does anyone else experience pain in their limbs from lack of oxygen or their limbs fall asleep easily. I've been having these problems for years and I talk to doctors. All they told me was that I shouldn't have each symptoms because it's minor.
im beta thalla minor, 2 years passed i fell breathlessness, dizziness/virtigo, my mcv 63, mch 20, heamo 13.5... Doctors said minor is nothing! But i feeling not good at all.i fell my blood cant catch my breath when i breath & like every breath.
thanks for such a informative video.. I am also thalessemia major patient .. I'm 20 years old and before 5 6 months I was not feeling so active I don't know why? I'm confused about that but I always take all meds time to time and complete treatment whatever I need after 14 days I go for blood transfusion.. but mostly I'm feeling so tired and weak when my h.b going less i feel so weak i couldn't do anything i think my body needs more blood ? my doctor recommended me hydrea medicine but afer 6 7 months I didn't see any changes and my ferritin also not going down still in 7,600 maximum :/ what should i do for it now in this stage I'm totally disappointed guide me something which really works im fed up with my lazy condition ..
Hi hira, I am 17 years old with beta thalasemia major and I completely understand where u are coming from. Are u using chelation therapy enough because i used to not use it often (bad I know but I had a lot of pain with the pump) and my heart began to fail which caused me to be tired and my body wore down. After I began using the chelation therapy properly (I do it five days a week, the pump) I feel better and am healthier but still kind of always tired. This blood disorder sucks :/
there is the transplantation of bone marrow but as I heard is a lil bit dangerous and also there is the gene therapy but it's in an experimental stage as I know.. :)
Hello! There are some mistakes here. This is Iron deficiency anemia, and not Thalassemia. If your MCV (The size/volume of your blood cells) are low, and MCH (The Hemoglobin that lives inside your blood cells which carries the Oxygen to the rest of your body) is low, then you have Iron-deficiency anemia. If you have Thalassemia, then MCV and MCH must be low in your blood test results, plus an increased amount of RBC (Red blood cells) and normal RBW. So not everybody here has Thalassemia. Iron deficiency anemia isn't that dangerous, so don't be concerned about it. Iron deficiency anemia is the most common anemia, and it can be cured without taking medicines by eating healthy food.
Dear thalasemia patients’ body is unable to produce blood because of the weak bone marrow and also not able to get rid of iron so they need to take medicine or desferal injection to get rid of iron that stored in their body parts esp heart, spleen and liver.
I have a thalesmia minor .............I feel weak and tired and i have headaches everyday and every times and have sleeping problems................and I used to drink energy supplement for the less effect of thalesmia ............
ma petite fille de onze ans décédée tumeur cérébrale, elle avait la thalassémie MINEURE et la médecine minimisait son cas me disait toujours que sa fatigue chronique et maux tete et troubles vue etaient pas graves ! honte à eux ils ont pas soigné mon enfant et l'ont emportée a coups de traitements lourds ; si vous avez la thalass"mie meme mineure, méfiez vous ! n écoutez pas les docteurs ! ca peut être grave !
dont get dissapointed and dull... nothing happens .. all you use to do is having a strong will power and drinking lots and lots of water. quit regular smoking and regular alcohol.
I'am a BSN graduate and I'am watching this for my upcoming board exam. Hahaha stupid me. But it's cute i'll let my future daughter watch this kind of videos someday :)
Doctors do really suck at helping nowadays. All what they care is to have a fast-talk and then get to the other patient as fast as possible to earn more money.
This is so incredibly sad! :'( I hope that all the children with Thalassemia get a lot of support and love!!
that was so sweet
ZivaIsNotATraitor I have it
Stay strong gurll👊👊
I have the same issue as Stupid63422
I have it and was born with it because my mom has it, grandma has it, uncle has it, and grate grandma and possibly so on
Best ever content on thalassemia and easy to understand for children.

I have this disorder but I've never done any of this in my life
from where can i get desferal pump in egypt
Please ask your local patient association. see this website www.thalass-eg.org/
is Plasmapheresis used for Thalassemia ?
no, u should undergo blood transfusion or bone marrow transplantation
i think i have the minor one. im 18 and it sucks
My 8 year old brother has alpha h constant spring. His currently in hospital for his 6th transfusion.
Thanks:-))/
I'm getting tested for thalassemia next week :(

I'am a BSN graduate and I'am watching this for my upcoming board exam. Hahaha stupid me. But it's cute i'll let my future daughter watch this kind of videos someday :)
I have major and it sucks
this is a good video Leroy. Thank you.
ik
Watching this for a University assessment thanks haha
my doctor said told I have thalassemia and that my body is likely to crash, and prescribed me iron pills with no more information
Doctors do really suck at helping nowadays. All what they care is to have a fast-talk and then get to the other patient as fast as possible to earn more money.
voULoir VicTOriA
Do you have major or minor? Why on earth did your doctor prescribe iron supplements?
With thalassemia you are not supposed to take iron supplements because it can cause iron overload. Iron overload can become very dangerous.
voULoir VicTOriA dont eat iron pills, its very bad if you have talassemia
please donite the blood i request
:(
This sucks
15 day 2 units blood
