I will be posting some very inspirational tweets of people living with Sickle Cell Disease. (I apologise in advance if it affects your sensibilities).

In memory of my son, I will be an outspoken advocate!

What do you say to 2 pple who are carriers and dill decide to get married despite knowing the risks?

honey86: What do you say to 2 pple who are carriers and dill decide to get married despite knowing the risks?

honey,
I believe you are female. Right?
As a mother, how will you feel knowing that you could have saved your child from Pains, traumas and stigma?
If you are AS and your intended partner is AS, please I will advice you both to seek for love elsewhere. Using 'Love' as a reason to risk having a SS child is nothing but SELFISHNESS. Assuming your intended partner has HIV/AIDS would you still hav asked this question?
If you must marry another AS, please take the option of adopting a baby. There are so many babiees out there who needs your love and care.

It can be frustrating when friends & family fail to realize the stress of living with SCD. #TeamSickleCell

How many people really care what happens?
Why the Non-Challant attitude, towards Sickle Cell Disease?
I don't care how long it will take, but I have made up my mind to lend my voice to SickleCellAwareness campaign. I am not soliciting for funds, neither am I advertising. But I have made it my life's duty to educate people about SCD. Not only because am a sufferer, but because I am a Survivor.

....It seems so anyway

I thought the health section moderator was dead.

Being AS and having AS wife/husband is not end of the world, it gives you only 25% of having SS(sickle cell), 25% of AA and 50% of AS. Can it be avoided if posible? yes, but education is only the answer. If you love your AS boy/girl friend, do not let AS stop you from having someone you really love as a life partner; you might end up having a bitch with AA and in hell for the rest of your life. If you are AS with AS wife/husband, please remember to do CVS on every pregency. CVS will detect SC at 12 wks 100%.
