Sometimes the best thing you can do to your body as a Sickle Cell Warrior isn't a pill,a doctor's visit or even a green smoothie (which you love most 😜πŸ₯¬)
It's REST.Simple glorious ,guilt-free rest!πŸŒ™βœ¨.

Living with Sickle Cell means your body is constantly working overtime.🩸 Those red blood cells are already on a tough journey,so giving your body time to recharge is like sending it on a mini vacation -without the packing or the
airport stressπŸ˜‚

Rest is important because;
~It reduces pain episodes, when you're tired, your body is more prone to stress which triggers crisis.

~It strengthens your immune system;sleep helps fight infections that can make Sickle Cell symptoms worse.

~It boosts energy because feeling like a superhero starts with feeling human first!🧚.

~It supports Mental Health because Rest isn't just for the body- yourind needs it tooπŸ§ πŸ’†.

Tonight if anyone calls you lazy ,tell them you're not sleeping-You're on advanced Sickle Cell Management!πŸ˜‚βœ¨

Go ahead,grab your pillow,put your phone on silent and let your body beal itself,one nap at a timeπŸ˜”πŸ’€.

If you're living with Sickle Cell, here's a little secret:Your #1 medicine package doesn't come in a fancy package-it comes straight from a tap or a bottle labelled WATER!😎

Staying hydrated is not just about quenching thirst-its about keeping those red blood cells flowing smoothly like traffic on a clear highway.
Without enough water, your blood can become thick and sticky, which makes it easier for those Sickle-Shaped Cells to block blood flow leading to painful crises.πŸ˜–

Here is why sipping that water throughout the day is a game-changer:

~Prevents painful crisis by helping keep the blood thin and moving,reducing blockages.

~It supports organ health, kidneys,liver, and the brain stay happy when well hydrated 🧠❀️.

~ It boosts energy, dehydration causes fatigue while water gives an instant energy boost.

~It helps in regulating body temperature especially during hot days
or when you're active.
Keep your water bottle closer than your phone πŸ“±πŸ’§.
And no,Soda does not count-Unless it's sparkling water and even then,plain water wins everytime.πŸ†

Stay hydrated,stay strong and remember your body's favorite playlist is the sound of you gulping down water!πŸŽΆπŸ’¦πŸ˜‚.

Falling in love is easy,but raising a child with Sickle Cell is not.
Before you let butterflies in your stomach decide,let the lab results have a say tooπŸ¦‹πŸ©Ί.

What is this genotype you might askπŸ€”
Well, Genotypes are a basic part of who we are,guiding health decisions and shaping our lives.
Understanding them is key to a healthier and brighter future.
🧬A genotype is your genetic code,the information you inherit from your parents.
Think of it like a blueprint that helps build who you are at a genetic level.
It's made of pairs of genes from each parent, forming combinations that determine specific features and conditions.
When we talk about genotypes we often focus on the genes related to "hemoglobin " a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

AA- This represents a "normal " genotype.People with AA produce regular hemoglobin which means they don't carry any traits of Sickle cell anaemia.They don't have any risks related to Sickle Cell Disease.

AS-This carries one normal hemoglobin gene (A) and one Sickle cell gene(S) People with AS are healthy but carry the Sickle Cell trait, meaning they can pass it on their children.AS individual usually don't experience symptoms unless under extreme conditions, like dehydration or low oxygen.

SS-This genotype means that both hemoglobin genes are Sickle -shaped (S). People with SS have Sickle Cell anemia,a condition where red blood cells become rigid and shaped like crescent or Sickle, leading to pain, anemia and other complications.

There are many other genotypes I have left out because my focus was on Sickle Cell, you can research and learn more about genotypes and their compatibility.
Knowing your genotype is way cheaper than bringing fourth children to live a painful life coz of Sickle Cell Disease.
Please know your genotype.The pain of a heartbreak can never be compared to a single episode of a Sickle cell crisis.
We are in 2025 don't live ignorantly like people in the 70s,80s and 90s .
Be informed and make better decisions.

Sickle cell is a genetic blood disorder where the red blood cells change shape from smooth and round πŸ”΄ to stiff and crescent-shapedπŸŒ™(like Sickle).
In simple terms I call it abnormality of the red blood cells.
The Sickle cells can block blood flow, cause pain,lead to anemia and sometimes cause other severe health complications.
Sickle cell is not contagious but it's a life long journey that comes with
~Painful crisis that show up uninvited (like that one relative who never calls first πŸ˜…)
-Frequent hospital visits, even when you just want to stay home and binge watch your favorite shows
And the need for superhero -level strength πŸ’ͺ just to keep going every single day.
Being the Sickle cell awareness I would request you to
Get tested (Know your genotype)I will expound on this in the next post.
~❀️ Show support (reach out to a Sickle Cell warrior and their caregivers and encourage and celebrate them(you can as well take them out for lunch or ice cream 😜)
~Be part of breaking the stigma around Sickle Cell Disease
~Be part of creating Sickle cell Awareness.
Because living with Sickle Cell is tough but facing it together makes it easier.πŸ’ͺ
