I said 3 tabs of folic and aspirin.
Folic is actually 5mg.
Aspirin Tab is 50 mg.
Total taken is 150+15mg=====165mg.
It's a fight bro,that's how I have been surviving.
The major function of the duo combination is to fight against cold.
All sicklers have pneumonia,and as such suffers from cold.
Their crisis are mostly triggered by cold,make enquiry.

They are not labelled "warriors" for nothing.
They fights steady


Stop capping. You are just abusing those medications.

There are several things that can trigger crisis in SCD. Things like infection, dehydration, extreme temperatures(too cold or too hot), hypoxia(lack of oxygen), stress etc can cause sickle cell crisis.

Stop abusing Aspirin and folic Acid for your own good. 5mg of Folic Acid per day is enough. Aspirin on a daily basis? even if it's low dose aspirin I see no reason for you to be taking it on a daily basis, not to talk of taking 200mg(check your last post where you mentioned taking aspirin 3 with 3 folic acid and 1 with Vitamin C) of Aspirin daily. Drug induced peptic ulcer and AKI are no joke.

I have an issue that is bothering me. My brother is sickle cell due to my parents mistake during marriage. I have been reading topics about sicklers and it has being bothering me. It there any sickler here or has an experience. Please help. How do you overcome it. And what are things to do
It will get to a certain time then the sickness will stop. They should not engage in stressful things (e.g. carrying heavy objects, they should know they are not sport persons). They should eat balanced diet and fruit. They should be shown love and care. They should not be exposed to too much cold.

No solution. That's what your parents wanting to be together at all cost inflict pain on their child

you said there several things that can trigger crisis,things like infection (and I recommended penicillin tab every month end)
You said dehydration (I recommended enough in take of water)
U said extreme cold(I recommend wearing of hoodie during cold seasons)
You said lack of oxygen (I told them to limit his exercises to a maximum of 30 minutes)
The only mistake I made is that i forgot to tell them to eat at least 30 minutes after taking folic and aspirin on empty stomach(I am so sorry for not telling them)
It will help them against ulcer.
But again is Aspirin and folic combination necessary?
Yes!!! It is.
You might be a doctor,buh the duo combination was also recommended to me by a doctor.
This is me talking from experience of what I know,and what I am going through.
It's not like I am talking from what I read from Google search

There are 2 ways to ending this but one of it is the best

1) God (the best)
2) Bone marrow transplant( the medical/scientific route)

I have a colleague who was born in the 60s. He's still alive till today, all to the glory of God. You cannot even know if he's a sickler or not. He has never gone for any transfusion. There was a time he took ill. people thought he was going to die. He had sores on his ankles. He said, God must not let him die and he will serve Him till the end. That was the end of the crises. His bone received flesh and sores closed up miraculously. Once in every week, he fasts and prays. No sign of sickle cell in him. He's as healthy and strong as normal beings. This is the surest solution and your brother will be fine. May God restore his health and make him strong. There is nothing God cannot do. He has changed SS cases to AA. But your brother must believe and have an unwavering faith in God
THANKS

If you have money, please travel out and do transplant. Don't mind ignorant Nigerians saying no cure. It's 85% successful, but risk increases with age, so the earlier the better. You also need a donor too.

Dearie don't panic sickle cell patients can live long and healthy okay! Make sure he sleeps in the net avoid mosquitoes, take his medications if any crisis go to the hospital make sure his doctor is your family friend bc you most likely will have emergency atimes so you guys should make his doctor as friend ask necessary questions on how to manage him doing crisis and what to avoid so he will not have crisis! SS live normal life now they work get married and have their own children, careers businesses! He will be very fine don't be afraid!

My only problem with your recommendation is the Aspirin. Once you've done other necessary things like preventing dehydration, infection, hypoxia, extreme temperatures, stress etc, I see no need for aspirin. Bone pain crisis aka VOC does not need regular intake of NSAID to prevent it.


Folic acid is ok, however 5mg in 24hours is enough. Any other thing I didn't comment on in your write up is ok.
Re: Help! My Brother Has Sickle Cell by Love800(m): 11:36am On Nov 17, 2023
U will say it is use to prevent malaria.

But when u have a full-blown malaria with fever, headache and weakness, u need proper medics

Bro go straight to the point and say you're the one with the sickle cell anemia.
SS patients can live normal life just like other, get married and have kids too. Stop letting rubbish people talk online discourage you.
Some SS people even live long and healthy more than the so called AA, even AS people have tendency of sickle cell anemia in them but they are not carriers of the disease.
Bro take care of yourself, eat good foods and take your meds regularly and you will be fine, also avoid strenuous activities.

You lack knowledge because you don't make research.
to add to this, keep taking your folic acid and if you have the money, go for bone marrow transplant and that's the final solution for you. God help you.

I'm a sickle cell patient, and sometimes I just wish I could meet someone in a similar situation who's successfully navigating the job market. Coming from a poor background and dealing with this illness has limited me in various aspects of life. However, I've always despised self-pity, so I've pushed myself really hard despite my condition and still praying for grace.

I've been fighting this battle for 28 years now, and I'm still going strong. Feel free to ask me anything. I can share my personal experiences and survival methods. And above all, I believe that God is the greatest
