As you can see, the list of possible complications is kind of long; and I again stress the word, possible. Most patients will never have to deal with every single one of the things listed here. Thank goodness. The type of Sickle Cell Disease you have, how well you take care of yourself, and receiving the proper medical treatment, all can determine how your illness affects you and how you affect your illness.
Don’t automatically assume, because you have Sickle Cell, you are doomed to have a short unpleasant life with tons of problems. Like I said before, the more you know about Sickle Cell, the more control you have in managing your health. By taking care of yourself, you may find, as I have, that you will live a longer, happier life than you ever thought possible.
