Chi59:

But then, people die everyday, leaving loved ones behind. Both healthy and sick, married or single.
If you were a sickler, wouldn't you want to be able to love and be loved, instead of being avoided for fear of dying soon?

virago:
I can and will marry an SS if I fall in love with one.

I can't believe I'm just seeing this thread for the first time , was this ever on front page ?

Chi59:
As the world sickle cell day approaches in three days time, I think about sickle cell and the impacts on various aspects of my life, especially my love life.

I haven't actually been in a relationship yet. And while I want to think that it has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a sickler, I've noticed a certain trend in the guys I've come to like.

The initial promises, the show of affection, the hesitation, lies and sudden disappearance seems to be a vicious cycle.

So I want to ask, why is that so?
Would you date a sickler if you could?
Why wouldn't you want to date a sickler?

EzeIgboNwaChukwu:
hi Chi59 there are some vital things I'd like us to interact about. Can we go via mail or whatsapp?

tunize:
i'm AA I can't. I can date but not marry is an easy thing ooh

Chi59:


And why's that? If I may ask

Chi59:


And why's that? If I may ask

tunize:
Its a matter of choice......its not easy

Blackbishop:
Why not, if she is going to be a cool headed person... In fact am interested in a relationship with one to understand the fear of people with them cuz its bad when people hear it and start to abhor fear

Chi59:


I see

tunize:
what??

moneyest:
Why not?
If you tick most of my boxes that should never be a problem and besides I'm AA.
If SS carries are taken very good care of, they can live as long as they want

You can send her a pm, sir

Chi59:


I mean, I get your point.

tunize:
okay can u do like-wise?

Chi59:


Judging from the risks I've taken, I could, if I love him well enough.

i once dated an AA lady that falls sick more than the normal SS/SC. genotype isnt majorly a barrier, if all other stuffs are in place

Mcy56:

AA falling sick more than SS?
Can't see possibility of that!
Her sickness may be due to other things but definitely not the genotype.
If you mention malaria then it's understandable cos AA are prone to malaria and environment plays a major role in how often they fall sick.

oluwatodimu1:
I found out later on that she had some hidden practices that made her vulnerable to all sorts.

Goddys:
I am scared whenever I remember that my sibling in mid thirty is sickler. Sometimes I wish I could share the pains.
