That is a very interesting synopsis...because on the flip side of that I have a disorder that causes red blood cell issues called thalassemia minor.

The thought is thalassemia developed because of malaria and also that g6pd provides protection against malaria.

So yes, I don’t expect any Dr to have a clue as how two different disorders may be trying to provide balance

And now I have been prescribed a drug that is also used for malaria

Malaria has a weird way of creeping into my life in various ways. 23andme claims I have .1 percent of West African blood. It must be from them that I got this weird malaria connected stuff
