We visited the Pediatrician two weeks ago. He cleared my son of Rickets, but suspected that he may have thalassemia. The doctor again suggested a blood test, this time to determine the iron level in blood. I was worried to death. The doctor said that thalassemia is a genetic disease. If one parent is a carrier then the child will have thalassemia minor. And if both parents are carriers then the child would have thalassemia major, which is a serious disease. Considering my week immune system, I suspect I have thalassemia too. I may be wrong. We have to wait for the blood test report. For the time being I am off the austin hcg diet. I am already a very pessimistic person, and such news makes me even more depressed
