Sikcell: People living with Sickle Cell

We still Hope

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself

Hey, I'm Fenny and I'm living in England. Been living with Sickle Cell all my life but haven't let it define who I am. I am so happy that I found this site. 20 years on this earth and I don't know anyone else who is like me. I have never spoken to anyone else who might understand what I'm going through. Reading some of your posts it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

Thanks Ade :)

@Dorothy: sorry but I don't have any advice on hemoxide, all I'm on at the moment is folic acid. You could make a post about it and ask others about their experience with it. I hope your baby is in good health. You shouldn't feel sad, your baby having sickle cell isn't the end of the world. Sometimes it might feel like it but it always gets better. You should be strong for your baby cause he/she is going to look to you for strength.
