Please, how serious or dangerous is this type of sickle cell anemia? I married my wife November last year and it honestly escaped us to go for those tests. So immediately after the wedding it occurred to me and we went for the tests. I was confirmed to be AC while my wife tested AS.

I got alarmed and very concerned and i told my wife about my fears but we decided to keep it low key and pray about it and hope that we at least a child who will be negative and we stop there since we had one in four chances of having a child who will inherit the positive genes from us. So we prayed about it and a year later we have our daughter. But because of our issue we wanted to clear our mind so this week while we went for weighing i requested that they check her Genotype so that we will know our stances and low and behold it came out SC positive.

We are devastated. we learnt it is not as serious as the SS but we have lost appetite for everything. My wife has been crying for the past two days.
Please, do you know anyone living with this type of anemia and how are they faring?

Sorry about that Bro, God is ur strength

Yes, I know of someone living with SC. I wouldn't say its not serious cos maybe she just got lucky, told me she has never had any serious crisis. the only thing is to be careful with her. Don't expose her to cold. This said lady is stronger than I am sef and very agile. So I guess SC is not as serious as Ss

Please, do not panic, I am not a medical practitioner but I am very close to someone who's SC. Your child would most likely have some crises, most especially pain in the bones whenever she's exposed to cold n other illness. You should take care of her very well. while she's young and make sure she's particularly not exposed to cold.

Once she's past that infantry/pre-teen ages, she's good to go. They hardly fall sick as adults and they live a normal life. Although whenever she falls sick, she'd experience pains. muscle, joints... those kinda let pain that's severe, but I'm sure she'd have been familiar with drugs that can easily suppress the pain in hours. Please tell your wife to cheer up, SC is not as dreadful as you think.
She might have issues when she's pregnant too, but then, who doesn't?! like I said, drugs and proper care/hygeine is what matters.

Take it easy sir. I believe everything will work out good for you and your wife. For effective healthy living and lifestyle to curb the excesses of the SC ailments, kindly message me on idowualexa@gmail.com... I have a very good solution for you there. God bless you immensely and you'll not weep over your child.

Thank you sir. Thank you for taking your time to respond to my cry and i will talk to madam to relax. We will do our best.

Tell madam to relax and read this carefully to her.
1. The baby should not be exposed to extreme cold and extreme heat.
2. She should start teaching the baby on good water intake. Water is the best medicine (fluids generally).
3. The baby should not be exposed to mosquito. Use mosquito net.
4. Try to avoid stress and give the baby all your attention.
