Thank you all for your recommendations, really appreciate

Xtfield:
In addition, she must
1.be kept away from mosquitoes. This is very crucial. Let her take daily anti-malaria drugs (Paludrin)
2. be kept away from cold. Under no circumstance must she take cold water, drinks etc. She should also avoid cold water bath
3. She must always take plenty of rest. No stress at all. All family members must assist in this regard. If she's a student, she must not read for too long.
I wish I can post my phone number here so you can call me, but scammers everywhere. However, if you PM me, and send your number, I can call you. I have a 16+ year old daughter with the same condition but because my family discovered early when she was three, we have been able to manage her fairly well with little or no crisis. Please do not give up on her. With a lot of care and support, she can live to the fullness of age.

Oh thank you very much, we do similar things with her too, no work or stress at all in the house and will inform them about the above Aforementioned

Websufer2:
B complex and folic acid daily. Can we talk directly, privately?

i have been very active on this thread since created brooo, please can we chat here ? So that others of same help can learn from it as well

Websufer2:
Based on 32 years experience, Everything horlacanny said is correct. In addition she should avoid stress, cold and malaria whatever it takes. Have good nutrition too. I purposely joined nairaland few minutes ago because of you. Pls do me right away if you can.

God bless you bro, I appreciate alot

swiperthefox:
Hygiene is of utmost importance because infection is dangerous for SS warrior. Extreme temperature of cold and heat. Steer clear of soda, juice and candies but more of fruits and vegetables. Folic acid once a day and Hydrourea once a day. Hydrourea is effective in keeping the cells from sickling as much as it would've. And finally, if you can afford it there is Bone Marrow Transplant when the procedure is sucessful it cures her of the sickle cell disease permanently but does not prevent her kids from getting it.

i will find out more info on the bone marrow transplant but do you have any idea around how much it might cost ?

SURElee:
Thanks dear for this. My auny has a sickler son and she said ugwu as a vegetble is out of it as told in the hospital since it has iron for blood production blah blah blah. OP please find out the vegetable suitable for your sister please. God be with her and heal her and give your family the grace to care for her.

i can see that most people are saying similar things, so it will be wiser to ask them to avoid it . Thanks

jomoh:
take that advise seriously except the ugwu part cos ugwu contains iron.


SS patients have too much Iron in their system already.


She should

1. Take at least 4-5litres of water daily(most important)

2. Avoid mosquitos like a plague.
(use mosquito net)

3. Avoid anything cold. From cold drinks to cold weather. It causes their crisis because their blood freezes easily.

4. Take Folic acid, Multivite and B.complex regularly.

5. Have original aboniki handy at all times.

6. Avoid blood tonics of any form and anything that contains iron.

7. She can take malt drinks once in a while in place of blood tonics.


For pains, Diclofenac(retard) is quite good cos it makes one to fall asleep after use. There also other diclofenac and all are generally good but the one with regard(very scarce to find) is the best.

Thank yoy very much, i can similarly figure out from this and previous post things to avoid and put into use, i really appreciate

Snow5:
In my early 30's...and getting stronger...

Yes.. That's the stage she is gonna struggle with this thing called sickle... Once she survived this stage.. There is nothing she wouldn't overcome after this stage.

Let her take drip.. To flush the veins.. And after that.. Press her joints with hot water.. Morning and evening..
Always keep hot water available... And make sure she drinks hot water every minute.. Take it with the drugs.. Don't use cold water for her in anything for now..

While I was seventy.. I had this tube which my mum used to store hot water and places it beside me every night.. To keep me warm.. When the blood is warm... The bone is hot.. The blood can flow through the vein smoothly... And it won't cost her pains

Doctors should inject her with a drug(don't wanna mention it here) it kills pains faster.. Meet a good doctor that knows about sickle cell... He would know the drugs.

Tell her to take fluid all the time... And pls.. Always massage her body gently... Especially the toes.. Stretch them for her... Massage it with aboniki rub.... Massage her joints gently with the rub... Pet her very often and make her do what she loves most to distract her from the pains....

I give her 2days if you follow these prescription.. She will be fine. Am in delta state too.. Where exactly are you guys?

thank yoy very much, she is in Ughelli while i am at Asaba

stevecantrell:
Sickle cell is a condition best managed in a patient with a limited chance of rbcs sickling and sticking together.
Its also wise to keep the patient in a deliberate state of iron deficiency. Low serum iron decreases the incidence of vaso occlusive attack - known as crises.

The patients should avoid heavy exercise and sudden changes in temperature. A number of natural supplement have been found to be an inexpensive way of keeping the patient infection free while prompting a healthy appearance.


Malaria prophylactic, weekly

B12 supplement (methylcobalamine), daily

garlic , if not raw get the dry powder

- zinc , daily

- water 10 glasses daily

- Potassium iodide supplement, daily

- black pepper and ginger supplement at least 4 times a week (mild pains and depression)

Avoid

-Fatty foods

-Green leafy soups, habitual consumption

- Cold wet weather

- Exercise

- dehydration

- injury to your joints

thank you so much, with all these responses so far, i have regained so mych hope

Dindondin:
Keep her away from mosquito

Always give her hygienic environment

Let het Eat fruits alot & keep her from tonics dat v iron

Let her stay clear off stressful tasks or work

She should stay off cold.

Let her use haemoglobin based tonics. Especially De Deon's Products.

SS people v low immune system Hence they falk sick regularly.

Thank you and God bless you all for taking your time to support with explanations

tdayof:
Op, I don't know if you're a Christian but after seeing this post I have a feeling it's a solved issue. Kindly look up to God. Make a vow and have a heart touching discussion with him.

Greater is he who is in his daughter (your sister) than he who is in the world. She'll be healed.

You shall open a new thread on her health with joy. Please don't forget to mention me when that happens very soon.

Thank you and God bless you too

awelekiti:
I strongly belief that being SS doesn't mean having your death warrant hanging. There's nothing God cannot do. My Technician will be 50 years this year. He's not even looking SS. Tell your sister to pray to God for help and divine touch. Also tell her to be heating proteinous food, vegetable soup and encourage her to be drinking vital milk. My Technician walks like every other human being . With God, all things are possible. Cheers

ok thank you

Bridgovoks:
Sad about your sister's condition. Send me a mail let's discuss
bridgovoks@gmail.com

Can we do this here so that others will learn too ? Please

nkeyuwax:
Hello websurfer, so sorry for the pains your sister has had to go through.they are indeed warriors.
A lot of people don't know this but there is a sickle-cell foundation directly opposite Luth at idi araba. There is a drug , you can Google it hydroxyl urea which reduces tremendously the amount of sickle cell in the blood which makes them sickly and she can take palodrine it is a malaria preventive drug , but please please don't self medicate so take her to the foundation, she will be attended to by doctors who are specialists they will run some tests and administer the right medications ,it is not expensive at all,and the drugs are more affordable if you get it there.
If you have any question don't hesitate to ask. My email is
Floxynap@yahoo.com
God bless you for caring for your sis.
Ps. Let her drink lots of water, stay in ventilated places and try not to eat late at night, very important.

Thank you very much, but she is in Delta abd very far away from Lagos.

Dont know how exactly these tests go, wish it was like measurements that can be taken from a tailor with the aim of giving to another to take care of because of distance

CaraJewel:
i guess every sickler us different.am down with malaria and weak.but lonart D's helps me get by.havent had any crisis this year maybe verrry lil.try giving her lonartds.malaria drug.my phone screen is black so can't rily see wat am typing bitH but hope u got me

Will put all these in notes, thank you very much

quintybabe:
Op you are not alone, just know that and calm down.
I lost a sis to this terrible disease and my baby bro is a 'sickler' too but God has been faithful.
Like others have said, the folic and B-complex are essential and should be use on a daily basis but most importantly is the regular use of malaria drug, and don't try to manage the crises on ur own, take her to hospital regularly.
There are herbs that are use to prevent blood shortage, ensure she takes it regularly and have adequate rest, she shouldn't stress her self much. Above all, pray for her, our God is faithful.
There are many who live with d disease and are doing fine, I even know a guy who works at the bank, imagine how strenuous banking jobs are but he is doing fine. Just ensure she eats good food and enough rest. God will keep and preserve her in Jesus name.

Amen and thank you very much. Will do this
