"SS" Olden days Abiku/Ogbanje!

The only way is for AS genotype never to marry AS genotype and SS should marry only AA if need be!
The only way is for AC genotype never to marry AC genotype and CC should marry only AA if need be!

You should try and avoid SC too as SC and SS are collegues at the General hospital!

Money wasters!
Love draining!
Time wasters!
Excruciating and severe livelong pain!
Regrets!

No be village people they do you o! Na you dey do yourself!
That love wey blind before go get ten eyes sharpally!

SS and CC marry AA so that AA can become extinct ba? SS should marry SS and CC should marry CC. AS should only marry AS. We need the AA population to multiply.

My kid sister had a crisis last month.
It drained me so badly.
I blamed my parents for the mistake, they had the opportunity to stop, but they kept giving birth.

I took my sister to several hospitals. They were only giving her painkillers, but the pain was severe. She was given so many drips, yet nothing changed.

Even some pharmacists recommended Penta, but they were afraid to administer it. I later found out it’s prohibited. Nyaa ahia iwu.

I managed to get the Penta myself, and she took three shots. Ndi banyi, still, nothing happened. The pain continued.

The only thing the Penta did was give her a moment of relief and help her sleep. After that, the pain came back.

I reached out to the pharmacy where I bought the Penta, and they told me her body might be too strong for it. They then gave her Cocodamol.

She took the Cocodamol, and just like that, everything stopped.
Now she’s back on her regular folic acid and hydroxyurea (not sure of the spelling).

That crisis period was a nightmare, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Thankfully, I escaped it, because honestly, I don’t know if I would have survived it if it were me.

Please try take to a general hospital next time she has a severe crisis.

Dpharmacist:
Exactly.

A nurse was even relieved of his duties because he was abusing Pentazocine. He usually uses patients Pentazocine and then give them another drug instead.

Is there anything wrong with him before doing this? Do people without issues abuse this drug knowingly like they do to tramadol and codeine without having any medical issue?

ChizzyBuna:
The moment I heard pentazocine
I had a very unsettling flashback

Their was a nurse I was dating.
She was using this drug daily especially at night. She used to inject herself.

I didn't see any wrong since She is a nurse so I didn't see anything wrong.

Then when we started nacking I observe She would go to toilet and stay upto 6 mins. Then come out looking a bit drowsy and horn.
Then we mount and her stuff was so wet..

Then I discovered that she was so hooked on the drug. That if she doesn't take it. She feels restless.

She has a pharmacy that supplies her with it steady.

At one point she jokingly told me to try it. I accepted but when I saw her inject it on her laps. I said Nooo I no do again.

Then the most devastating part was when after sex she confess to me that she is a Sickler😪😪
To make it worst I also discover that she inject her self with the same needle over and over again.

Which I later discovered that she gave me straps infection. I got the infection from her. We banged raw daily. And on Google go my symptoms the infection comes from those that use infected needle or share needles.

Then I remember this nurse she always use one needle while injecting herself without changing it.

That was enough for me to break up with her.
She felt extremely bad and sick after I broke up with her.
She thought it was because of her Sickle cell disease that made me break up with her.

Truth is the reason is because she hide the fact that she was sickle cell until we were deep in love. That spoilt my trust for her.
She cry no be small. Even threatened to end her life.

Omo anytime I hear that drug name I just get flashback and regrets😪😪

Ngozi I hope you are fine wherever you are. I lowkey miss you🥲

Try it when nothing is wrong with you? People dey dey ment for this world oooo you could imagine, if you had used your third leg to think and not your brains you could imagine the catastrophic consequences.

It's even worst she knows the adverse effects and still get hooked

No doc prescription, no medication

obailala:
Hmmm....

Recognising the excruciating pain sickle cell patients have to endure regularly, I dont think I'd ever judge a sickle cell warrior for being addicted to any pain killers.

You spoke my mind.

My mum had ulcer when I was young and the tears drilling down her face when she goes through the ulcer attack phase is something I can't clear off though 20yrs ago. I won't wish the pain on an enemy and I was helpless in helping her cure the pain as jawaron and jawasil won't go close. Inferring this to sickle cell, if abusing the drug and dependency on it is the price to pay in exchange for that pain, so be it. I go to hospitals for visitations and I do see the pain this sickle celled folks go through.

Yes I've registered her at AKTH
whenever the crises starts, I'll just take her there

How old is your kid sister?

maureensylvia:
Penta 3k
Cocomadol 1500

Per vial

Or the whole pack??

This drug is remaining 3 injections in the hospital now. My mum had double major surgeries and it's been used against pain.

Wow. For the past 2days now they stopped using it.

Likely it'll be returned to the pharmacy

DelilahMakinde:
I took this 5 years ago for menstrual pain....aaaahhh....such a sweet drug. It took a whole year before I finally broke the addiction

wow

Offpoint1:

You can go ahead and send him any amount you have in mind. But please advise him to register at a teaching hospital. That’s what I did for my sister.

We’ve registered, and they provide drugs for free. However, in more serious cases, there will be some costs but he’ll definitely get good treatment and will be admitted as an in-patient if necessary, not just treated as an out-patient.

Wow...

I don't know if it's a possible to get in touch with you off Nairaland.

I'm SS new parent, I'm seeking to connect with those with more experience to walk through this terrain.

With this your theory a society of sicklers will be created. It won't turn out well for us all.

ok thanks .. I'll ask him to do just that...

The issue of "Self Medication" practice has eaten deep into us as an average Nigerian already knows when he/she has malaria fever.
After treating and symptoms persist, they will treat Malaria & Typhoid Fever.
The craziest thing is that the average Nigerian also know the drugs to use and they have extended this habit in treating their children as well.
Somebody will say; At least they are better than those who entrust their health and get prescription from a sales attendance in the chemist shop.

Self medication is bad. But as a responsible adult and a parent, you should be able to handle little sickness in your home with otc drugs like paracetamol or anti malaria drugs. It is not convenient to rush to the hospital every time your kids have high temperature

Dpharmacist:
A patient died of complications as a result of addiction to this drug. No one knew till he was rushed to the hospital but unfortunately died before reaching. His body was full of needle pricks especially the thigh and arms.

Na wa o

Apart from the fact that she hid her condition from you, you were not going to marry a sickler and drug addict my friend

DeeScan:
I know a girl that always gets it from a particular pharmacy and it gets sold to her ..


The question is , do they give to someone to inject for them or inject themselves..

Although she buys it strategically.. She uses a particular duration of time before she gets another, in which the pharmacist accurately predicts the day she would come ...

If she uses the required dosage as at when due , I don't think there's suppose to be an issue on self medicating with the medicine ..

That's drug addiction right there! Plenty of issues await her at the end of the day

Finchmgh:
Stop judging others. You are not better off.
Each and every one of us are battling our respective addiction.

This is the point he's making here, spreading knowledge and awareness among people before they too become addicts and how people can help spot and help their loved ones. I didn't see any judgement in the post, don't unnecessarily defensive

maasoap:

It's really not easy at all with the frequency in which children do fall sick.

Except you are a medical personnel or educated enough to possess basic knowledge; How can you tell the kind of sickness associated with high temperature especially with children that don't talk when they are ill?

Thanks for the good job.

The major illness among Nigerian kids is malaria, the second illness doesn't come close. And the havoc this disease is causing is under reported, yet many parents can't spot malaria in their kids until it is late.
As for me, I worked with WHO on malaria as Interpersonal Communicator for 2.5 years where we went out creating awareness about malaria: causes, symptoms, where to go for diagnosis and treatment
