Before I read.. I'm joining the campaign..

Nlanders: Let's roll it..

It's the Sickle Cell Awareness Day!
Simply put, sickle cell anaemia is a hereditary genetic disease, which got its
name from the crescent-shaped red blood cells. These cells, instead of moving
freely through the blood vessels, tend to stick to the sides or walls of the blood
vessels thereby resulting in blockages. In the short term, it can cause severe
pains or infections while its long term consequences could be organ damage,
strokes and early deaths.
¤We advocate for investments in finding effective treatments that will cripple
this genetic disease as well as affordable care acts for the “Sickle Cell Warriors''.
With the right information about its management, people living with the
disorder can stay healthy and live long.

Why not join the Campaign and prevent the death of a100,000 infant every year
from the disease... and 40million Nigerians with the genetic disorder?

Re: 19th June - World Sickle Cell Anaemia Day. My Story As A Warrior by shadowripper(f): 11:42am On Jun 19, 2015
treasuremabel:


Norflex, folic acids, bico, astymine syrup

But currently I don't take any medications, just fruit n enough water everyday
Yea sounds impossible right? but I took those drugs last like 8months ago

Do you know what? You look alright because the ones you have taken are still working in your system. Its like prayer, if you stop praying, the ones you have prayed will still be working for you till it drains out.

You need to start using ASAP to avoid what we all dont like experiencing.

Take to your doctor again... or go to Sickle Cell Foundation at Idi-Araba for more talk

Don't use hydroxyurea yet, u shud only use it when d doctor prescribe it for u.

Folic acid is okay. Water and vegatables too do wonders. And stay away from blood tonic.

I'm also a warrior. Keep holding on!

It all depends on your body system, I think your drugs are what your doc feels you need.
Mine told me about hydroxyurea but didn't prescribe it cos he said I didn't need it.
I have two doctors, 1 is a white man n he also said samething

Only blood tonics that contain iron are what you should stay away from.
My doc prescribed astymine

Funny thing is, crisis can occur at any time.

When crisis hit my formal doc who's a woman, you will feel sorry for her. And den she was 40yrs old.

Now, she has moved to Ghana.
