You are very dumb and very mannerless. How many of our parents know about Genotype? Most parents in their late 50s today did not do genotype test before marrying.

Dumb f*ck.

You are right

Our parents married ignorantly especially in the area of genotype but I thank God we escape it

I need people with experience on how to manage SS Crisis.
Both my parent are AS and we the kids are 5. I'm the first child and I'm lucky to be AA, the 2nd born AS, 3rd, 4th, 5th - SS.
I have 3 SS siblings and right now most of their responsibility and wellbeing is on me as the first born cuz my P-man is old already.
Just last week I have to rush down to my brother's school to bring him home cuz he called me in the middle of the night weeping cuz the pain is just too much and his roommate isn't around.
My question now is how can it be managed? cuz it's really affecting everybody cuz It's affecting their studies, I'm exhausted right now cuz anytime it happens it's ends with me borrowing funds to send to them and lastly it's sucks happiness out of the atmosphere as hearing a teenager weeping and knowing you can't do anything about it is saddening.

I've seen some people asking if they as AS can also marry AS please and please don't try it as you'll just be bringing innocent kids here just to suffer. The trauma of you seeing your kids in pain sef no be here.

How can SS Crisis be avoided/managed?

I'd have loved my write up to be well detailed but the little I wrote up there took up to an hour cuz my phone is bad.

You experience and advice will be well appreciated. Thanks.
Avoid mosques at all costs, always take becomplex and folic acid tabs, avoid cold water and always wear sucks.
Finally and importantly, buy a drug called HYDROXYUREA it reduce the frequency of pain crisis almost to zero.

How can husband be AA and wife is AS, and baby is SS? Paternity fraud looming...

Husband is AA, wife is AS. 3 months after they had their first child, they found out their daughter was SS.

At first, it appeared like a joke, a very bad one. Medically, that isn't or shouldn't be possible. They conducted the genotype test in four medical labs, and the result came out the same.

Husband and wife decided to have their genotype test again. Results were the same.

Then it became clear what was happening. Husband ain't the father of the baby. He secretly had a DNA test and it was confirmed he didn't father the baby.

Amidst the confusion, he asked his wife if he fathered the baby. Wife wouldn't confess. She insisted he fathered the baby. It's just obvious that whoever fathered the baby is AS which resulted in the baby's SS.

They went for a paternity test and it was glaring husband ain't the baby's dad. Wife still insisting she didn't get impregnated externally. She went ahead to do another DNA. Result was the same.

Wife became a shadow of herself. Husband got crazy. Their home became a "once upon a time."

Wife kept researching how possible it was that her husband didn't father her baby and the baby's genotype is SS.

Then she told a friend of the whole matter. Her friend just felt she's using female's antics. "Take responsibility," she was told. She kept swearing and swearing. Her friend told me of the whole drama.

I kept thinking about how this would be possible. Medically, it was impossible for AA to birth SS. Coupled with the DNA results, it was glaring. But wife claiming innocence and swearing on her life was a whole different thing.

I thought of what could have been. Then I arrived at a conclusion: if wife is innocent, then she's not the mother of the child. I immediately called my friend that I've found a possible solution. MNA (maternity test) to the rescue.

They went for an MNA, and test revealed she's not the mother of the baby. Babies were changed at birth. Long story cut short, they involved the police and investigations were carried out.

Multiple tests done "here and there." They got their own baby back - AS. They returned the supposed baby. Hospital was sued for the negligence and trauma.

Wife was so displeased her husband didn't trust her. They settled and made up. They just had their second baby - a boy. Husband stayed with wife in labor room and monitored everything. Once bitten, twice shy.

At times, so called paternity fraud is change of babies at the hospital.

SOLUTION TO THE ABOVE PROBLEMS:

1. Advise your male children, to stay with their wives in the Labour wards, as their wives are delivering.

2. Advise your female children, to insist on their husbands staying in and remaining in the Labour ward, during child births.

The world of today, are full of people with evil intentions.

Together we can make the world a better place

Make man no see bad thing
This is why people should know their blood group and genotype before even attempting to fall in love.... So. That they won't subject their kids to a life time of hurt, pain and uncertainty....
I've dated a sickle cell patient before and it's not funny...
I go deh pray make she no kpai anytime she come my place....
Imagine being in this shoes of an SS patient....
I don't think it will ever be easy...
May God help us all

Chaiii, I feel your pain Bro, I had this neighbor in my area then, this man was very rich, he has a company, I won't mention the name for some reasons.but all his kids then were SS, it got to the point that the kids after University those day started dying one after the other, I think they were about 6 of them then, when the last one died, the man couldn't hold it, he died and the next week the wife follow suit, that's how a complete generation was wiped out of the surface of the earth by SS anemia. Chaiii. The Lord is your strength Bro

This is so touching: am shedding tears. Please, please!! Please!!! Prevention is better than managing it. My brother you cannot manage it. Don't bring innocent kids into the world just to suffer them. A friend knows that they both are carriers both they went on to get married saying that they will use prayers, now their first child is no more. How do you feel watching your child live through pain? How do you feel watching your child die with tears? How do you feel loosing a child at 17, 18 19 or 20.
Please let's keep love aside. If medically you are not match, you are not match..

I think government should make genotype testing compulsory for intending couples and make a law prohibiting two AS individuals from getting married and making babies.
Your love for each other should not be the painfully miserable existence for your children.

There is no coping. Only suffering.
If you don't have money to get a permanent cure, both you and them will suffer for the longest time possible.
Don't ever think that the crisis is because of what they failed to do, don't blame them for falling sick no matter how tired you are, it's the easiest way to push them off the bridge. They blame themselves every second of the day.

And secondly, if your parents have abandoned your siblings to your care ,which most parents do, it's only a matter of time before you resent them, if you aren't already.
Square your shoulder. And tell your parents the bitter truth.

Lastly, your siblings are not your children. Read that again.

See, you have to be strong for them. I can only imagine what you are going through.
here are a few tips to guide.
1 daily folic acid.
2. no extreme temperature, especially avoid cold.
3. take lots of water( about 3l daily)
4. no strenuous exercise or activity. avoid extreme sports.
5. have pain killers handy always(as in always) but avoid overdose and addictions.
6. eat healthy (fruits, food,vitamins) you can do multivitamins without iron.
7. avoid exposure to mosquitoes and infection triggers.
8. there are lots of medications out there that have proven to be helpful: Jobelyn, plant stem cell , ciklavit, hydroxylurea etc. Do more research and engage a doctor before use
9. There is a blood exchange process that can be done bi annually or quarterly to exchange the sickled blood cells . Again, speak with a heamatologist or knowledgeable doctor for guidance.
10. Know your limits, no follow do any activity wey your body no go like, live a day at a time and serve God truly and seek his healing and mercy.

Also note, you need a close family doctor or nurse wey sabi handling Crisis.

Wishing you and your siblings strength through it all.
