Ajlolly: I am a victim of wrong diagnosis, b4 I got married in 2009 my hubsand&I went 2 check my genotype in 2 diff labs & i was given AA& my hubby AS.I didn't know I was AS until I was 4months pregnant wen I went 4 antenatal, we went back 2 d 2 labs where we were initially given AA&did it again and was given AS. Wen we show dem d result of d 1st test dey were jst begging us, so we resigned to faith couple wit d explanation my doc gave me dat it 1 out of 4 children dat 'll be ss not knowing dat its one over four of every pregnancy, I had my son in 2010 & unfortunately he has scd. Initially he has crisis almost every week and was place on hydroxyria by an heamotologist.Thks God he has been doing fine since den, he is 2yrs old now&very healthy. He doesn't look like someone living with scd.

Your son will always be healthy, just read this thread from its 1st page and you'll get useful tips from there

This is really true, hopefully those with ears will hear

Does anyone know if excessive water intake as any negative impact on ones health?

Years ago, on a very sunny day, I got dehydrated, and began craving for water, in less than 12hrs, I drank 25Litres of water(I had water in a 25litres keg and it got exhausted within 12hrs )
I kept peeing at intervals and couldn't eat as I was filled.
That very evening, I became dizzy and had to go see my doctor, the doctor insisted I stayed back at the hospital for "observation" though I wasn't given any medication but the doctor said taking excess Water isn't good for me.
But since then, I've not had a reoccurence of such, but I drink water adequately.

Can anyone explain what was wrong with me back then?

queen binte o:
Reminds me of masef as a child,avoid takin ma folic acid n paludrine until crisis set in. Now as an adult. I take dem religiously. Now I eat beta(growin up wtout an appetite) appetite for food increased  i̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ 1999 n I av not lookd back since. I av really added weight, I now weigh 60kg.wrkin to curb excess weight. Life is Good!!!

Working to curb excess weight at 60kg??

Dunno what to do about my own weight(I weigh far above 60kg) and I live with SCD!
Life indeed is beautiful

I've been running windows 8 on my pc for over a month now, and all I can say is(from my experience)
1. I haven't experienced any problem with lack of software/hardware/driver support
2. The full functionality is best enjoyed when there's internet connectivity
3. All my applications(which I used on windows 7) runs perfectly on windows 8.

I also noticed that the window's GUI usability ιѕ limited for pc's with small screens(e.g mini laptops, notebooks etc). This is due to the screen resolution such pc has.

In all I enjoy using Windows 8.

Btw I disagree that "Windows 8 is a modified version of Windows 7"

queen binte o: We are not sicklers but people living SCD. 'Sickler' is derogatory jor.tanx

I've always fought against people living with SCD being called "sickler".

Ever thought why people living with cancer aint called "cancler"
Or people living with AIDS called "Aidsler" or "Aidler"??

The word "sickler" sounds demaining to me. I'm not a sickler, I only live with SCD!

I doubt if he was properly trained before obtaining the private pilot licence; if he was, he should have known that the hired pilot was right- at least they went through same training, abi? #justasking

How do you get to keep count of how often you yawn?

You don't like her nor love her, just pity!

ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION= NO

Good for them!
Tinubu- Enjoy the defeat, you earned it

Abali1: The Doctors opinion is just what it is.... An opinion (yes with theories). If you already have a child with SCD don't give up on him/her cos there is a whole lot of beautiful life experiences awaiting that child.

Parent with SCD child(ren) should not give up on them. They are unique in their own special way.There is no other person in all the world who is exactly like that child! They are different and special. Parents shouldn't stop encouraging and motivating them to follow their dreams. They are human like everyone else!

Taking lot of fluid(water) is very crucial for people with SCD, eating "fresh" fruits and vegetables is important too, cut down on sugary things(if possible-dont take it at all! )

donez: I feel so bad because i hv lost my self esteem due to d way people address me. I am 26 years old but i look very young with smooth face like am 18..My friends am older dan approach me as if am dia younger one, dis really is killing me...Pls can u guys tell me wat 2 do so dat i can luk mature and hv beards?

Your age/size/looks shouldn't affect your self esteem, your self esteem should come from within you. Work on that and you'll be fine

AS isn't a blood group, you mean genotype.

I don't see anything wrong in the op's story in a bid to enlighten us all. Wondering where her post showed she's craving for pity or something. Or didn't I read what you guys read too?

Judging someone so quick! Unfair

I don't seem to get your point? What are we to save you from?

Too early for such decision. we still have a long way ahead

Nice write up, if only they'll read and make amends(where necessary)

Watch "alien origin" and come tell me what you dream about!

Joke section. Right!

I'll plead with the congregation to go on recess, so he can take a power nap he must be high on something, after the recess, he'll explain to the congregation. _{Then I'll take my decision}

Election Quote of the Year: "Stupidity is when you attempt to cut an Iroko tree with a broom" ~ Chi Josh

ACN- You all should have invested your money in other things. Now you've experimented what it's like to attempt cutting an Iroko with a broom; since every experiment gets a result- ENJOY your RESULT!

youngalex: why i said almost all is that the ones i met few months ago said they are not ready to wait that long(like 5 years),i discovered one natural fact about women,they will convince you that you don't need to have the whole world before you marry after the marriage if you fail to provide for them she will literally make you hypertensive by her incessant derogatory statements ....i choose to remain single till am emotionally and financially ready for marriage

@bolded- you seem to have it all under control- can't see the pressure here

Accreditation has started in almost all the polling center

Why I give out my number? - for communication

How do I feel?? - NORMAL
_{Abi how else}

Lot of misguided priorities out there.... Hopefully those with ears will hear!

@OP; CORRECTION- the recharge cards were not distributed in AKURE, it was distributed in Akoko, during the ACN rally there last week.
And YES it is true, the cards were "thrown" from an helicopter!

While, on 15th October(monday) during the ACN final rally in Akure, ACN party chieftains(including Tinubu), had a stop over at Adegbola Junction(after the rally)to "spray cash", this is true and no be "dem say, dey talk....."
