I have struggled with low iron my whole life. Thalassemia anemia is an inherited blood disorder that runs in my family. Thalassemia isn’t like your typical anemia where you can take iron supplements and feel better. With thalassemia anemia, taking iron can kill you.

So while you may need iron, if you took it, it could take your life.

I have visited many doctors over the years praying someone would find answers to my mysterious sickness that was taking over my day-to-day life. I was miserable and oftentimes thought I was dying a slow death.
