They are not patient,they are stronger than any other groups,they could do anything and they dont often fall sick like other groups

Please, can you expatiate more on this? You mean they're healthier than AA? Are you SC or you have close knowledge of people who are? I'm trying to get as many first hand experiences of this SC as possible. Regards.

Don't despair, friend. You still have a lot in you to give to the world. Just get a good haematologist and stick to his advice and you'll be fine. I understand sickle cell today is not sickle cell of even 1990. A lot has improved. Many live a ripe and full life. God will make you whole.

I really commend your efforts, Fhunky1. You must really be an amazing warrior. Well done! I read your posts from the first one to the very last. You kept posting virtually everyday since almost two years ago, even when no one was showing any sin of reading! Wow! I salute your spirit! May God double up your health and energy. He will always meet you at every point you need him. You shall fulfill your destiny. Your life will be meaningful. You will look back one night with your grandchildren in your grey days and smile: "it was all worth it".

It's a great job you're doing. Keep it up!

And to all other survivors, the Lord will see you through the journey. Never waiver in your faith for a richer and more life.

PS: I'm sure you must have escalated this advocacy to other high traffic channels. Thumbs up!

Will be sharing Kemis story today.

Enjoy!!!
HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR SYMPTOMS?

As someone living with sickle cell one thing I have come to term with is my symptoms.

Last week Monday, I was home and feeling extremely tired, 3 days prior to that, I have been losing my appetite to eat foods, fruits and even drink water. The highest I can do is to force myself to drink water by adding little garri inside the water.

So Monday came, I was so tired to do anything, with constant headache that paracetamol is no longer working for.

So I decided to go to hospital , before going, I already went to lab to run Malaria Parasite and PCV to enable faster consultation and diagnosis.

Getting to Hospital, I talked to the Dr , see me smiling, the result already show anaemia and presence of malaria parasite.

Though I really can't say how serious it is. I just knew that I will definitely be admitted even if not for blood transfusion.

Knowing fully well I will be admitted, I am still not comfortable, I still try asking if the Dr can treat me with drugs alone.
He laughed at me and said Kemi you are going on admission.

I just told him, I need to go back home and prepare,since I used my leg to come here. Though I was tired , I can still go back home.

Got home and receive some emails that I must attend to urgently. I forgot about hospital and focus on the work.

Back to hospital, I was examined again, I needed blood transfusion.

Thank God I have my brother with me who has same blood type with me.

Did I tell you? All through I was on call to attend to some work. After the call, I have to attend to a client on phone, the phone call was like 1 hr plus.

Even at the lab, the were like you are not too pale, I have learnt to mask my pain or tiredness to some extent.

I never knew I will spent 9 days on that hospital bed.

After the treatment, I still have this constant headache even when I was obviously stable.

But the Consultant said you are staying here because of the headache, I told him Dr give me drugs now, I will be fine. He said no, like he knew there is something more.

Friday evening came, I told my mum, I was feeling cold, I use one blanket, it wasn't enough, use another, it wasn't enough.

Ahhhh, my mummy has never seen me like that in many years. I knew she was afraid.

Within 5 minutes I was shaking like a fish outside water, the vibration was too much.

All I could say was mummy call the Dr, the Dr came running with a nurse, my temperature has skyrocketed, I couldn't breathe again.

God just knew what was happening and sent the consultant to come at the right time.

Dr, check blood pressure, check temperature, body was so hot that the thermometer couldn't read it again, the nurse scream sir, the temperature is so high.

All I could say was to affirm I shall not die but live. The next prayers was God I am yet to fulfill my purpose don't allow me to die with my full potential.

My mum didn't know what to do?
I used all my energy and said Dr please I can't breathe.

The Consultant ran outside to bring oxygen himself, open oxygen it was hard, ahhhhh! Which kind frustration is that, he brought another one,
All through I was already given injection, yet the temperature and cold never reduced.

After 2 hours, the cold started reducing, my veins collapsed, they have to use my leg,

Drips upon drips, test upon test, injections upon injections.

After 3 hours of being on oxygen, I got some relief
My mum, dad and Toba were lost, running helter skelter, buying this and that.

In all this, I am grateful to God, what if I neglect those symptoms and not go to hospital,
What if I thought I was well and force my discharge by signing?

What If I thought I can manage it at home? What if I see no seriousness in it.
Two symptoms I don't joke with is tiredness and headache

I follow my own advise. I kept telling sickle cell warriors, don't neglect symptoms like headache and Tiredness, they are not only linked to Malaria.

Infection and malaria was actually the underlying cause. Even if I drink ugwu, malt,milk, tomatoes,and all that,it won't even help the red blood cells that was breaking down at higher rate because the underlying cause was never addressed.
My mother was scared, I haven't had blood transfusion in the last 10 years but this is me thanking God for sparing my life..

With God by my side, I'll keep winning this battle.

NB: I'm not a first class nor a third class product. I'm sorry i had to come in...

Your comment clearly speaks hatred. It's either your grade isn't closer to being one or you know people who graduated with it, and in the end, u found out you are better than them.

You said a sentence doesn't sound third class? This is appalling.
I wonder why u think a first class English should be more polished than a third class tho!

Good sentences needs good punctuation marks too. I read the sentence you just applauded. Being "composed" is far from it.

I hope u don't take this personally.

I read this comment last night and I couldn't help but chuckle when I read it. Hatred you say? Wow! How now? Why? Why would I hate First Class or even any grade at that? I desire a First Class for my children, you know. Even I did come around that once. But I missed it by the whiskers. So, naaaaaa, I cannot hate or even deride First Class. They deserve respect.

That said, I'm sure you know that we live in a world where perception is reality. It's a lot about perception; otherwise, plantain chips would not outdo igbekere in the market. Perception of value is key. When a First Class communicates poorly, there is a perception of poor value. You should be aware that, many times, people make instant judgements about you within the first minute. The same reason is why you want to be well dressed for a job. You may be picked over one who is more qualified. It happens. I KNOW it happens. This is why your communication skills matter.

You also know that First Class suggests that you are good in all areas of "academics" and the reverse in Third Class. This is why one might "sound Third Class". But I understand your sentiment: this is not always true. However, it is what many would perceive. And that's the quick point I made there.

Let me also quickly add that while First Class is desirable, it must also come with other important life and success skills. Many Third Class have that. Maybe I'll buttress this later.

Pardon my epistle and any loose flow in my thoughts. Did this in a hurry, with distractions.

Cheers

@ Lacoolmley, I wish. Cheers.

@ Lacoolmley, I wish.

*Smiles*. Lacoolmley, you don't have to give up. Both skills are necessary. Communication skills are one of the basic general skills required by most employers. It is part of the value they seek. Alhough I preferred that we give that guy a chance, my boss wouldn't. This simply shows that defective learning in this area can stand against you, even if you are truly good (Read that to mean "valuefull". So, you want to allow it?"

And if you don't mind, that word is "grammar" not "grammer", "complaint" not "complain".

Cheers and good luck.

Handsomecole:
I graduated with a third class ( not proud of it tho) but I engaged in politics and creative media while in school currently I'm serving and by God's grace I got a job and already working with as Media Assistant to a billionaire till date he's never asked me what I graduated with I doubt if he remembers the school I finished from. It's all about value added services and God's grace. I would still do a story . May God help us all.

Guy, you don't even sound like a Third Class. Your comment is quite well composed. It doesn't betray poor learning at all. Unfortunately, this same poor composition struck me with one of the "First Class" comments up there. Really makes you wonder. In case you do not see the value of your English skills, I say you still have to learn. We once rejected a First Class grad because of his poor English. And that was first impression. You've got to show real value.

Handsomecole, I say well done and good luck to you.

what about a fresh graduate of HRM without experience. How much does he earn per month

No particular scale. It all depends on where you ply your trade. The rate is usually the same as other business (management or administration) courses.

Good evening. Pls where can I do human resource management training in Lagos

There are many. What area of HR are you looking at?

Eddodoh:
Does age really matter in the category of exams to write? I learnt persons above 30yrs will start from Foundation 1.

Do they really enforce dis rule even when u meet other requirements?

Where did you hear this? It's not true. Some of my students are well over forty. And of course, I have a personal experience too.
