Abali1:

wow! Deco my man, that will be really good. I am ready when you are. Count me in.

Abali1:

@deco_slim, why don't you also go through this other thread www.nairaland.com/583986/good-news-permanent-cure-sickle/1

I believe what you are really looking for is a drug that can permanently cure you of SCD. To that, I wish you goodluck and also advice you to be careful of people who will "take advantage of you" and rip you off financially.
I have heard of Solamin, but only on the internet.

The day I came across the name CELLOD-S, I was able to gather enough info from NL. I made a few calls and was able to talk to the director himself, who gave me more info.

Please let us all be careful of those who will want to take undue advantage of us, all in the name of helping us CURE SCD.

Note: Am not saying that the drug Solamin does not work. All am saying is that if the drug is as good as they say it is, give us enough info (free of charge) on how to get it and let us make our own research.
After all A GOOD PRODUCT MARKETS ITSELF.

blink182: I don't follow prescription, read the pack for dosage or take 2 table spoonful. I'm a big guy, don't know your size. Take it thrice daily.

blink182: use glucose I said it before. Cod liver also does it.

Abali1:

You are worrying yourself too much.

Deco, I was once like you.
I went 3years or more, without being hospitalized (that was after I was mis-diagnosed AA). I " forgot" everything I have learnt about SCD. Then my last crisis happened.
I was taken to the hospital after a bout of food poisening episode. The doctor ordered a test to be run, when the result came back he told me I was going in for transfusion. I vehemently refused (cos I had vowed never to be transfused again). He told me that transfusion was necessary cos my blood level was too low (15%) for him to commence treatment ( as at that time, I felt that I was the most HEALTHY person to have walked the earth).
I still refused transfusion. Then he said I should go home and build my RBC (of course that will take 3 months), then I can come back for treatment. I was already heading out of the hospital, before my mums call came in. She pleaded with me, and because of that mother-son bond I finally agreed to be transfused.
It was after that crisis episode that I started reflecting on my life and my sometimes STUPID ego, when it comes to my health.

blink182: presently on nothing due to scd, I live a very healthy life. Every now and then I take like 6 cApsules of cellod s. That's all.

@deco_slim, I was like you once. If you ask me to guess, I will say that you are not even taking the Folic Acid and B complex serious.
I dared Fate. I did those things that I was told not to do, but I also have the Grace of God by my side.
If you must rely on Folic Acid and B complex, take it daily. Morning and Night, do not miss it. Moreover you have to feed well.
@Idowuogbo, I believe Deco will get there. He is yet to fully appreciate the nature of SCD. Or he may stilll be in denial.

Haba! Blink dats mean!

blink182: yellow eyes is an easy issue, surprised none could tell you. The answer is glucose, dissolve the needed dose in water 3 times daily, if you have no fever it will clear in no time.

Yellow eyes is also a sign you are over stressing yourself, so take a break while having your glucose.

For convenience, there is tablet glucose in blisters for those that are really mobile and remember water. Also get cellod s if you are not on it yet. My greatest wish is to see so many Scd patients that are not suffering but living the life of their dreams.

blink182: go kill yourself if that is what pleases you.

ACM10:
The yellowing of the eye is as a result of the deposition of the bilirubin pigment on the sclera(white part of the eye). Bilirubin is the breakdown product of haemoglobin. Remember that haemoglobin confers on the red blood cell(RBC) an ability to transport oxygen.
In a normal RBC, its life span is 120 days. But the life span of a sickle (RBC) is between one-third to two-third the life span of the normal RBC. This means that the life span of a sickle RBC is shortened. Therefore there is excessive breakdown of sickle RBC and the release of its bilirubin pigment.
Human liver will be able to handle this breakdown in a normal RBC by metabolizing them(conjugation). The conjugated bilirubin pigment is excreted from the liver to the intestine. They are subsequently acted upon by the intestinal bacteria and excreted with the faeces as stercobilin. Some are later absorbed and excreted in the urine as urobilinogen. Thereby giving urine a yellowish colouration.
But in people living with SCA, the excessive breakdown of RBC as a result of short life span usually overwhelms the livers ability to metabolize bilirubin. Therefore, the level of unconjugated bilirubin in the blood rises, leading its deposition at the sclera of the eye and mucous membranes of the skin.
The little you can do to help yourself is to rehydrate. Take more water. This helps to flush the blood and leads to its increased excretion in the urine.

Awwwh... Don't feel dat way nau! Abail! Out of selflessness chose to educate and if possible prevent dose making babies and aborting the foetus due to SCD. Trust me! Dis thread does more good dan harm.
