Thalassemia minor

2019-08-02 09:27:47
Hi I'm a thalassemia minor and have iron deficiency. Minors are advised not to take iron supplements, but my ferritin level was 5.2 -and range is 12-150. Are there substitute supplements that I can take to cover up the deficiency. I have a pale skin colour and get tired early. What should I do?
