Olayinka8793: That is my priority for now, but it will be hard to achieve given the possible financial implications. So I am just hopeful. If you know of an ENT specialized doctor, you can please refer his contacts to me so I get more information from him Search for cochlear implant foundation of Nigeria on Facebook and contact them. |

Olayinka8793: Sir, how do I contact you to minister healing on my ears? I have been deaf on both ears for over 29 years due to a mistake when I was a kid. If you have the money, go for cochlear implant. Though you'll need speech therapy after the surgery. |

A possible cure for SICKLE CELL DISEASE.
A sigh of relief, as hope for millions of people worldwide, a solution to families that have suffered from its stings... CASGEVY is already approved in the UK. |

Bmaster: 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 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. |

Bmaster: 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. |

fostermd: I am.a medical.doctor who have been involved in treatment of sickle cell disorder for about 25 years. Whilst it carries high morbidity and mortality, good education about appropriate lifestyle adaptations does help overall.
The severity varies depending on the traits: there is SS the main one and other variants such as SC,SD,etc..
There is a definitive treatment in Europe where I practice now and in America through bone marrow transplant. This completely changes the genotype to AA from SS ,since the marrow is obtained from AA.It is ,however,an expensive treatment.
Advice is to follow medical.advice and guidance and seek early treatment in case of bones crises. Thank you. Too many ignorance on this thread. Thanks chief, you have done justice 👍👍👍 |

Bmaster: I dey suffer sickle cell,buh if you see me,you no go gree.  Fine and very smart,with 3 girlfriends. Here is the secret: Every morning before he eat,let him take 3 folic and 3 aspirin Tab together. let him sleep with mosquito net always. Let him take livercap forte,it will help reduce spleen diseases (2 capsules every week) Encourage him to drink water as much as possible Let him take penicillin tab every month end Let him avoid masturbation,or at least reduce it to two 2 three times a week. **Masturbation effects may not reflect on normal people,buh we the sticklers are at it's mercy,I am talking from experience! Let him avoid cold weather by wearing hoodies during cold seasons. Let him avoid strong exercises,(he should reduce his exercises to a maximum of 30 minutes so as not to trigger the crises. Let him take folic and vitamin c together after dinner before going to bed. Encourage him to drink a cup of water in the middle of the night when he woke up to ease himself (it will help to reduce the yellowish eyeballs) There is a medicine called *hydroxyurea* he should be taking it. 4 tablets of folic acid in a day? 3 tablets of Aspirin? Dose please? By avoiding masturbation you mean to prevent priapism? Your recommendations are not clear, thus needs scrutiny. |

BABAawoo47: 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. Yes, bone marrow transplant has shown to be the cure for SCD. |

ovie8200: Great advise....
Bro, I am 45 years sickle cell and married with 3 kids. Although my own is different than others. I meant that I hardly get sick and have never been to hospital or admitted. I may have just had back pain for one or two days every three or four years. That is the reason I said mine is different from others. I have read about sickle cell and it is considered for people who live their normal age to 80 to 90, etc. Don't let people advise you or your brother thinking is a death sentence. My oldest brother is 46, 3 kids as well, and hardly gets is too or goes to the hospital. Are you sure you are SS? You know there are different types of sickle cell Anaemia eg SC, SO, S Arab, S Punjab etc. SS are more prone to crisis and will barely do well on Nigeria unless he/she is from a super rich family that's well educated about the disease. |

Delta State is a coastal state which experiences a high volume of rainfall every year with abundant inland water resources and high underwater table.

RIVERS1stson: This is exactly six after ebonyi airport was commissioned, but shockingly no Nigerian airline has agreed to venture into that route with commercial passengers. Checks revealed that ebonyi airport is an unviable route for airlines, that’s why no airline has tried to land there.
Ebonyi is a state with the poorest indigenes in the southern Nigeria. Poverty rate in ebonyi is over 80%.
Ebonyi has a comparative advantage in rice farming but there’s no major rice mill in the state . Some analysts had proffered that the billions borrowed to build the airport would have been channeled into developing rice mills to create employment for the army of unemployed in ebonyi state. Chino pity our blodas naaa. Our Anambala has rotten away, yet we keep poking on Ebonyi. Let's face our red mud, erosion ravaged Anambala😭 |
