I dey suffer sickle cell,buh if you see me,you no go gree. grin
Fine and very smart,with 3 girlfriends.
Here is the secret:
Every morning before he eat,let him take 3 folic and 3 aspirin Tab together.
let him sleep with mosquito net always.
Let him take livercap forte,it will help reduce spleen diseases (2 capsules every week)
Encourage him to drink water as much as possible
Let him take penicillin tab every month end
Let him avoid masturbation,or at least reduce it to two 2 three times a week.
**Masturbation effects may not reflect on normal people,buh we the sticklers are at it's mercy,I am talking from experience!
Let him avoid cold weather by wearing hoodies during cold seasons.
Let him avoid strong exercises,(he should reduce his exercises to a maximum of 30 minutes so as not to trigger the crises.
Let him take folic and vitamin c together after dinner before going to bed.
Encourage him to drink a cup of water in the middle of the night when he woke up to ease himself (it will help to reduce the yellowish eyeballs)
There is a medicine called *hydroxyurea* he should be taking it.


How old are you sir?
I'm asking for a reason

I have an issue that is bothering me. My brother is sickle cell due to my parents mistake during marriage. I have been reading topics about sicklers and it has being bothering me. It there any sickler here or has an experience. Please help. How do you overcome it. And what are things to do

I am.a medical.doctor who have been involved in treatment of sickle cell disorder for about 25 years.
Whilst it carries high morbidity and mortality, good education about appropriate lifestyle adaptations does help overall.

The severity varies depending on the traits: there is SS the main one and other variants such as SC,SD,etc..

There is a definitive treatment in Europe where I practice now and in America through bone marrow transplant. This completely changes the genotype to AA from SS ,since the marrow is obtained from AA.It is ,however,an expensive treatment.

Advice is to follow medical.advice and guidance and seek early treatment in case of bones crises.

Great advise....

Bro, I am 45 years sickle cell and married with 3 kids. Although my own is different than others. I meant that I hardly get sick and have never been to hospital or admitted. I may have just had back pain for one or two days every three or four years. That is the reason I said mine is different from others. I have read about sickle cell and it is considered for people who live their normal age to 80 to 90, etc. Don't let people advise you or your brother thinking is a death sentence. My oldest brother is 46, 3 kids as well, and hardly gets is too or goes to the hospital.
U and your brother are SS or SC?

Bone marrow transplant is one way of tackling it. The patient has to go through a painful process though but it is also very expensive and mostly done abroad.

There is a sickle cell center hospital ( government hospital) at Abeokuta. If your are around Lagos you can take your brother there, they will treat him better and teach him what to do to manage his health. Try to go there, cuz it's there specialty

There are 2 ways to ending this but one of it is the best

1) God (the best)
2) Bone marrow transplant( the medical/scientific route)

I have a colleague who was born in the 60s. He's still alive till today, all to the glory of God. You cannot even know if he's a sickler or not. He has never gone for any transfusion. There was a time he took ill. people thought he was going to die. He had sores on his ankles. He said, God must not let him die and he will serve Him till the end. That was the end of the crises. His bone received flesh and sores closed up miraculously. Once in every week, he fasts and prays. No sign of sickle cell in him. He's as healthy and strong as normal beings. This is the surest solution and your brother will be fine. May God restore his health and make him strong. There is nothing God cannot do. He has changed SS cases to AA. But your brother must believe and have an unwavering faith in God

Eduadolero:

Are you for real? Then who is a carrier?
The life expectancy of an SS with good medical care is around 50 years which is even about the same life expectancy of the general population of your beloved country
Be that as it may pls OP go to a hospital and assess the services of a haemato oncology to live a healthy pain free/crisis free life. Online will not help you
50 years? Lmao ๐Ÿ˜‚ you must be God to know that. Sis AS are also carriers of the disease, but they do not suffer those crisis full SS suffers.
Sis make your research.

That's good, what's funny and very annoying is you see people giving their own personal life expectancy of an SS patient as if they are God.

First and foremost, don't expose them to cold weather. Don't let him drink ice water because of their chest. Avoid heavy food to reduce stress on their digestive systems. On herbal medications ,use cloves daily at least two buds in a day. Take Tumeric powder, green tea and cinnamon powder. On therapeutic medication, always take daily pain killer at least twice a day. Treat for malaria every week. Take alternate amoxicillin cap 500 mg daily every alternate days. Take vitamin c 2000mg daily. Folic acid and vitamin b complex every day. Eat good food and fruits. And of course drink water very well every day.

Sterm cell implant can be done if the person is not too old but not yet available in Nigeria , and for now let the person take a lot of our local sugar cane( the green colour sugar cane not the aboki type)it help to build strength.

If you have money, please travel out and do transplant. Don't mind ignorant Nigerians saying no cure. It's 85% successful, but risk increases with age, so the earlier the better. You also need a donor too.

What help do you want from us, are your parents illiterates that didnโ€™t consider genotypes before fvcking raw?
Blame ur parents and leave us out of this crap.
I blame the slowpoke m0derat0r that pushed this to FP, bunch of incompetent servants of a Sango Otta programmer!

Stop being stupid. Many of our parents married the old traditional way and were not literate enough to check their genotypes before marriage.

If you have nothing meaningful to contribute, move ahead.

Bro go straight to the point and say you're the one with the sickle cell anemia.
SS patients can live normal life just like other, get married and have kids too. Stop letting rubbish people talk online discourage you.
Some SS people even live long and healthy more than the so called AA, even AS people have tendency of sickle cell anemia in them but they are not carriers of the disease.
Bro take care of yourself, eat good foods and take your meds regularly and you will be fine, also avoid strenuous activities.

You lack knowledge because you don't make research.
Must he disclosed his identity?
Proffer solution and move on. Don't be Petty

Yes, but very risky. I know a woman who did it for their daughter and she passed on. They said if they knew, they shouldn't have done it. Just be wise!!! At the end, God is the decider.

Where did the woman do it?

Because it can only be done in few places in the world, Africa is not one of them.
