Hello everyone I'm new here so I'm sorry if this has been posted before or it goes against the rules of the forum. I don't have sickle cell but my girlfriend does and I've been researching like crazy to find an alternative way to prevent her from having pain crises. I've read about hydroxyurea and that sounds like some very dangerous stuff and she doesn't want to take that and I don't blame here.

Then I read about Nicosan and Nicosan seems like the best thing going but it's all sold out :( atleast that's what every site I go to try and buy it says. So then I came around to ProArginine and it sounds very good. It sounds like a non toxic version of Hydroxyurea, so my girlfriend bought some but we're still going to check with her doctor to make sure everything is ok with it. So I wanted to come here and ask have anyone here tried this? Is it any good? are there any risk that we should be concerned about? If anyone can help me with this I would greatly appreciate it.
