Hello, this is the first time I am trying to get information from a Forum like this, but I am dumbstruck on the lack of information. I have the Thalassemia minor trait and so does my son. I am 37 I am basically leading a healthy life & working out, but especially when I push I find myself coming back to the fact that my body just goes into tired mode and no matter of the sleep or care I do, I am just tired and my face is yellow, and no matter what I eat like hi energy foods or drink like caffeine or energy drinks, I cannot regain the energy. Also when I play a sport I am always the first to get tired out, and I have trouble concentrating at times. Most sources only seem to focus on the major trait, but very little info on the minor trait. Is there anything I can do to reduce the anemic symptoms?
