Bmaster: 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. |

Emma513: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. |

Re: Help! My Brother Has Sickle Cell by Bmaster(m): 5:45am On Nov 17, 2023 |
AwkaFinest: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 1 Like |

Re: Help! My Brother Has Sickle Cell by AwkaFinest: 11:18am On Nov 17, 2023 |
Bmaster: 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. |

Emma513: 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 1 Like |
