Confused on guidance (lack therof) with Beta Thalassemia from GP
I wanted to ask around - to those living with any multitude of this - if you've experienced a disconnect between average written descriptions and your own case? Via typical blood tests that show low hemoglobin and stuff I guess I do have beta thalassemia trait, that I've been told typically doesn't have any symptoms or need any treatment. I'm anemic, and was put on a B12 supplement to help weakness and fatigue (didn't really make a huge dent) and after my issues continued it..must be something else? I dunno, I asked for a deeper conversation on this condition in general on the second visit, managing anything that comes up, etc. but since I'm categorized as beta there wasn't much to say and the conversation turned to a hunt for other things. What am I missing, doesn't this tend to cause anemia?
