This is the first time I would say am coming out openly to say am a warrior as you all term it. Am alive, am strong and healthy. I have been able to achieve basically all I want to. I will be 27 in july and yes am a Graduate Assistant Lecturer in one of the Universities. Every Sickle Cell Patient reacts diffrently. So for me, I haven't had crises since 2006 or any form of transfusion. The last was in 2006 after my Waec, I was in a boarding school, I had malaria and typhoid. So it wasn't actually crisis that got me admitted or transfused with blood it was the regular 9ja sickness. Relationship hasn't been easy though as the people that fall in love with me are always AS so they end up leaving. As for dying, there are a lot of things that take people's lives so that does not mean a sickler is dying tomorrow. So continue to fight all warriors in the house God is the one that gives life. I am not on any medication or routine drugs like folic acid et al. I quite those a long time ago because I didn't want my body to be dependant on any drugs. I always dress for the weather, eat right and take a lot of fluids. The Doctor I once dated had to even run a test on me because he thought I was lying, Thats how healthy I am. To those who seem they can't make it or be anything, you Definitly can just get to it and stop the pity, stay away from anyone that would cause you pain both emotionally or phycologically you need all the happiness you can get. Stay Blessed!! 6 Likes |

I think more awareness and sensitization should by done on this issue to better educate people. I'm glad the UN was able to make this an annual event. I still believe there are areas to work on. |

My heart goes out to people suffering from sickle cell. I pray for and with them always. Like @ritajohn stated above, more awareness and sensitisation need to be done for people to better understand what causes sickle cell and how it can be treated. http://www.oganaij.com.ng/2017/06/nigeria-celebrates-world-sickle-cell.html?m=1 |

I am a proud warrior, I will be 35 soon, a proud mum, an entrepreneur, no leg ulcers, clear skin, in fact I look very healthy but have a petite physique. Sickle cell handling comes from your mindset, your spirituality, food and love you receive. I do have my occasional crisis but the last time I visited the hospital was in 2014 ,when I had my baby via CS. God saw me through it all, I survived and stayed two weeks post delivery which is the longest I have stayed in the hospital. Watch what you eat and always be positive and worry less. No need proving anything to anyone.love yourself first. I hope to tell my story someday. 5 Likes 4 Shares |

Sickle cell patients need our support because of the frequent health crisis they go through. I found this new platform www.healthsupportgroups.com very useful for them to form a forum and share their experiences together |
