Dahjhi: Bros, I am on the same side with you. If I come out and say AS boy don't marry your AS girl friend, people will come and start quoting me to say why they are the exception to the rule and they have been married for donkey years. This thing called love is a funny thing. All I'm trying to say is let people be wise in all their decision. One love everyone. |

Sickle cell is a blood disorder that is hereditary n starts from when one is born, So what happened? Why did mine wait till I was 8 before it started? Funny enough, my mum said I was never sick as a baby n the only problem I had was measles, I grew curious n asked my doctor, After a number of 'no idea' replies he came up with an hypoyhesis where he claimed that my healthy look n lack of crisis or sickle cell symptoms till age 8 was as a result of extensive breast feeding. Still don't know if his hypothesis is wrong or right. ....the genetic reason why you were not sick till 8 was because your gamma globin genes on your chromosome 11 were not switched till age 8 (as when due normally between the age of 6 months to 1 year) probably due to some factors in your gene Locus Control Region (LCR). These Gamma Globin genes are responsible for the production of Fetal (when you were a foetus) Hemoglobin at which rate (normally between 30 to 33 percent) helps to alleviate the Clinical Conditions of People with Sickle Cell Disease. So......at Birth to Age 8....you had adequate Fetal Hemoglobin which prevented you from falling sick.......at age 8 the Gamma Globin Genes were switched off and the Beta Globin Genes were switched on (responsible for production of the normal or sickle hemoglobin)......your Fetal Hemoglobin dropped below 10 percent or close to zero.....and you started falling sick 3 Likes 1 Share |

eseh1:That got me wondering too. Because,ordinarily,the worst that could happen with the combination(AA+AC) was for two out of every four children to be AC,while the remaining two will be AA. So,where did the 'S' come from?...Except the Parents are AS and AC...without this,then this is strange...could there be any scientific explanation to this? Meanwhile, I wish all the warriors in the house God's protection. Cheers. |

Today I take a stand of solidarity with all our brothers and sisters living with Sickle Cell across the world. The world must understand that these in these beautiful souls lie the greatest measure of strength known to man. They are not Sicklers. They are Warriors. 6 Likes 8 Shares

And i'll keep fighting.. I pray for all SCD patients to have the strength to bear the pains...long life 4 Likes 4 Shares |
