Help please
Re: ..... by Empiree: 4:05pm On Sep 13, 2014
I feel sad for this. Is like you groaning in pain. Before anything, how long do you have sickle cell desease?. Has there been treamants for it and where is your pain. Do you feel cold, infected, or you dehydrated, breathing problem?. Answer pls
Ymodulus: Help please
Re: ..... by Empiree: 4:28pm On Sep 13, 2014
Anyways, this is standard medical precaution. You must waste no time to visit your doctor I believe you have one. As a matter of fact, you should be visiting emergency room by now. Please please do not just take any medication recommended by anyone online. Otherwise, your family and friends may find your body dead in apparent suicide. You must talk to your geriatric or physician . Whatever he/shes says is the final. I am aware of erythropoietin. It is a shot treament for this condition (i:e injection) to improve your blood count. Or your physician may recommend physical therapist for you. It's all depends on your specific medical condition. The most important thing is never take just any medication recommended online. You could be complicated.

Since I was Young.

Treatment: not really just drinking one drug or the other. Some times they work and after some times they re no longer effective.

Breathing Problem: Yes. But I must add that am asthmatic too.
Cold not really have been under the fan since morning

Please do you have any drug you can recommend? Please do not take this as a rude request but if you can be fast n replying I will appreciate. As today is Saturday and tomorrow most shops are closed. Thanks

I get you. Just at times the drugs those doctors give you will not calm pains down. And that's the reason need fast relief pain killers of any sought
Re: ..... by Empiree: 4:58pm On Sep 13, 2014
No, I am not taking anything rude. This is professional discussion. I am medical practitioner as well. I did recommend a shot above but as always, you need to have personal physician that will check you very often. You need a doctor's visit. If however you currently in pain right now, pls do take OTC (Over The Counter) painkiller until you get to visit a doctor. Do you drink lots of pure liquid?. You should do that very often. Unfortunately, there is no cure for sickle cell at this time. But it's manageable. It looks like you used to take local herbs. To be honest with you, it helped you all this while. But if you now feel uncomfrtable with it, then you need to see a doctor. Disclaimer: This is not professional medical advice. You should visit doctor to properly access your medical condition. You are free to ask any question though.

Re: ..... by Empiree: 5:03pm On Sep 13, 2014
I understand this but still you need regular doctor visits. You havent tell me the kind of pain it is. Over the counter pills are non prescriptions you can take. Like Advil, Tylenol etc dont know if you have those over there. They are not harmful so long as you take proper dose accordingly. But dont take asprin until after you see a doctor.

Thanks. So much.

The herbal things only complicate issues to me. I can't see any feasible difference.

Yes am aware there is no cure. And thanks so much.

But am worried as to why you say I shud not take aspirin. Pleasevuf it's more effective evenvuf it has side effect late just tell me. Its not like I will be addicted to it. Its just for use in time if serious pains. Please any sie effect??
Re: ..... by Empiree: 6:19pm On Sep 13, 2014
You did blood work before? was the result good?. Any chest pain?, skin problem etc?. I will get back to you on Aspirin. I am asking a doctor right now.

NO, PLEASE DONT ASPIRIN UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR DCTOR. WITH YOUR CONDTION AND ASTHMA, EVENTHOUGH ASPIRIN GENERALLY HAS NO POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE EFFECT ON ASTHMA, IT'S HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT TAKE ASPRIN. YOU MAY TAKE OTHER OTC PAIN RELIEF FOR NOW PENDING YOUR DOCTOR VISIT TO ALLEVIATE YOUR SUFFERING
By the way, it appears that you have not done all neccessary medical procedures. How did you know you are a sickle cell patient?. Did you visit doctor to confirm this illness(officially diagnosed)? what have you being taken aside from local herbs?. You need to visit a doctor perhaps sickle cell specialist.They will have to know history of your SCD and carry out neccesary tests to determine how they can possibly help you. For now, if you do stressful work, you need to reduce it significantly. you need to be hydrated at all times. Stay away from extreme heat or cold. Your priority for now is see your DOKITA.
Re: ..... by Nobody: 9:04pm On Sep 13, 2014
Bro I'm sorry for your pains. Wat u r currently experiencing is called vaso occlusive crises. treatment therapy of choice is vigorous rehydration n nsaids. Majorly morphine. U cnt get it over d conter. Try n see a doc.

Kai Dan Arewa ne?

Truth be told I never took my health issues serious I caused almost all sickness I suffer from today. I rarely eat I always believed snacks and fast food. Now am changing but it affected me so bad that I can't drunk drugs and eat I must take gala or biscuits. I can take biscuits and water for 3 days and am ok. Don't get me wrong am not mising just me.


I never took my health serious. Even asthma until the day I felt embarrassed in public. I had an asthmatic attack and of all I couldn't hold the shame since then I took it serious. I just started taking my ailment serious now because Today I felt embarrassed almost crying cux of leg pains in public.


In essence I want to take my health serious.

So sorry for your ordeal, try naproxen sodium (aleve) it's over the counter and strong enough. You also need hydration therapy either by drinking lots of water or iv fluids, hope you feel better soon smiley

Since you don't like eating food... Eat alot of vegetable and fruits... Especially kankana (water melon)... It'll help your body soldier.




Stay away from junk foods... It'll do you no good.

Bro, health is wealth. Becareful man. First of all, pls stop eating fast food. Cook local food in your own home. And before you leave home in the morning or even if you not going anywhere, try to eat some cereal, oatmeal or at least drink some tea without sugar. If you keep eating junk foods, you not helping yourself. Pardon me, i didnt get this question "Kai Dan Arewa ne?" what is it?

Pls don't just take any drugs, i know some drugs are effective sometimes and not effective after some time. My advice is that u should visit your doctor so u don't cause any harm to ur self. My cousin took so may drugs without informing his doctor and now he is unconscious in the hospital. So pls ask ur doctor or any good doctor.

You see, let me tell you guys this if you dont mind. There is going to be some form of diseases and sicknesses on the rise in nigeria. Something you have never seen before. You know why, as world becomes "modern", average people dont want to farm anymore. We used to eat organic food, natural and undiluted minerals etc. But now we dont want to cook. We dont want to farm. We want to eat fast food a k a fast death. We eat genetically modified food. Cancer, diabetes used to be scarce but they are now household names in the country. It's not too late to return to natural food we used to eat otherwise known as Halal instead of can food and junks we eat around. They are quiet unhealthy.
