Mannylex: @poster there's no genotype SC, the genotype's are;
AA
AS
SS

Czarskit: There's actually SC. . . It's similar to SS but it's not. Got a friend who's SC. . . Naija docs said he was AS but when he trvlld he become seriously ill and was crying every now and then that his bones hurt. It was at the hospital that they carried out another test and found out that he's actually SC. . .

For clarification; I am SC. I was diagnosed when I went for my medicals in my 100Level days. My elder brother is AC. He found out too when he went for his medicals in school (Unilag).
Both are rare conditions of the SS variant and they (AC and SC) are both carriers of the sickle cell trait. Therefore, my doctor has given me strict warnings about the genotype of the person I am going to marry. Though SC is a little better than SS; I suffer from frequent bone pains (which some people call Rheumatism) buh it has since stopped since my 300level days. I have to frequently observe some things like drinking a lot of water, eating lots of veggies, and not exposing my body to cold. Because I used to take a lot of pain killers, I developed mild ulcer and when I complained to my doctor, He gave me another set of rules. I don't fall ill regularly nor experience frequent malaria and I have never had typhoid but I still carry the sickle cell trait and I don't want to pass it to my children.

filiks:

Thanks for sharing. I'm sure you've enlightened many. God's all the way.

simiolu1:
Sorry for not replying ur mail on time... I used to take any Ibu- brand painkillers such as (Ibu-pain, Ibu-cap etc). But above all, know d dosage of d drug and administer it accordingly. I once took an over-dose and d results weren't funny.

PRIX:

lols thanks... I've once used ibuprofen.. twas good but my doc later prescribed diclofenac for me...
does all those IBU painkillers kill the pain immediately?

simiolu1:
None will give U immediate relief... They take time to get into d blood stream.
However, if U want close to instant relief
1. Have someone massage the aching area thoroughly (this in itself inflicts some measure of pain) or use a body spray (like those footballers use). But note that d spray requires no massage. But U can do d massage before applying the spray (whatever rocks ur boat)
2. Eat something that induces sleep (hot pap does the trick for me).
Sleeping helps muscles/bones to relax
3. Use ur drug
4. Sleep!
I'm sure that by d time U wake up, U'll feel much better.

PRIX:
so you mean massaging won't make the pain subside?

you ni longer experience the pain?

simiolu1:
Massaging makes d pain relieve U but it inflicts a measure of pain in itself. Just like d way bitterleaf first tastes bitter before tasting sweet. U can also visit a physiotherapist
