Once you understand what complications you may be at risk for, you gain a degree of power and control in your life. That control may simply be the self-control needed to avoid strenuous activities that cause unnecessary damage to your body. The power you gain comes from choosing to live your life responsibly.
As you read the following pages, please keep in mind this is a list of possible complications that may occur. Sickle Cell is a disease that affects each patient differently. The chances are pretty good you and I won’t have to deal with every single one of the problems listed below. My purpose in naming all the possible difficulties is to help you gain greater awareness about the nature of Sickle Cell Disease.
This blog is intended to help people of all ages cope with many of the challenges that come with Sickle Cell Disease. When first launched, my target audience was teens and parents. Over the years, however, the scope of my content has expanded to help people of all ages who may struggle with similar complications as I. Whether you’re reading this for yourself or to help a loved one cope with Sickle Cell, I believe there is something here for everybody affected by this disease and other illnesses.
