I’ve got beta thalassemia and it’s so frustrating to have to always explain that I don’t have iron deficiency😭 I told a doctor this and they didn’t listen and gave me an iron infusion anyways😖

if one parent has thalassemia, can it be the reason their child has a mildly elevated platelet count (470k-480k) that is accidentally discovered in routine bloodwork even if their iron and ferritin levels are normal??
