I have T. minor. I was diagnosed when I got pregnant first time. Doctors kept giving me iron shots and my haemoglobin kept going down. Then they checked if my husband had it too, but luckily he did not. If both the parents have it then the doctor advise not to keep the baby, because the baby can be born with T. major. T. major patients do not live a long life even after blood transfusions. They can live upto 20-25 years only.

The patients of T. minor should not be given iron in medicine form. They should get it from natural resources and that is why Ashmit prefers to eat green vegetables. They should be careful that they do not take any medication which is a blood thinner. Other than that there is no restriction on spices or anything else.

One can feel tired easily and get breathless while doing exercise because of lack of oxygen in the blood. But if you are taking good diet you feel normal.

This is not the thing.

Before the bigg boss began Ashmit should have asked for special food supply like Khali, rather than fighting witht he housemates.

A. Ashmit has never created drama about his illness. Veena has.

B. IF you have Thallasemia, you don't need a special diet, just iron-rich food. There are no restrictions on spices. Ashmit's preference for low spicy food could be because he is gujju and the rest of the members are from North-India where the food is spicier.

@Ashima
Ashmit was asked to take rest away from the household because he complained that even whispered conversations in the bedroom were disturbing him and he was not getting adequate rest. Sara was designated as his nurse.

I missed part of the next day's episode and only saw Sara being punished with doing the entire work for the household. This punishment was for not taking care of Ashmit as per BB's orders.

I have T-minor, but have never needed any care, what so ever. Most people with thalassemia beta or alpha minor are not even aware of it. In fact it is a very common problem with Indians, but most Indians are never tested for it. Doctors in India most of the times wrongly diagnose it as Iron deficiency. Only care that one should take is to make sure not to get married to another thalassemia trait person or the kids could have a 25% chances of getting thalassemia major, which is fatal. Well, I hardly watch Big Boss now, so I am not aware of the jokes involving him and therefore am not commenting on him. However, I wanted to clarify this Thalassemia related confusion because this is some thing Indians (given it is more common in South Asian and Mediterranean countries) should be aware of. In fact, if I remember correct, last time I was in India, there were ads trying to make people aware of the importance of getting these tests done before getting married.

I have Beta Thalassemia but it doesn't affect my life at all. I didn't know about it till a couple of years ago and was picked through a blood test i was having for something else. Thalassemia major can be fatal and you would need to go in for regular transfusions. And yes it is more common in South Asian and Caribbean communities but like some people have mentioned alot of people are not aware of it. It is a genetic disorder.

It wrong to make negative comments on someones medical condition....its also wrong to make a person with an affliction feel different to healthy people...bemari koi warning keh saath nahin aathi ya lagthi...it happens and its best to support the person who is suffering and treat them normally, too much care and sympathy does the sufferer more damage than good....
