Hello,
Here is a posting of the facts from a study with hydroxyurea. It works for some people and not for others.

Only a handful of those who could benefit from using hydroxyurea aree actually using it. Many people don't take it because of fear of the harmful effects (real or perceived).
I pray you get well soon.I was told that SC babies in Nigeria do not fall aick untill they are about 6-9 months...or maybe i'm just lucky.
At what point do people receive blood transfusion?What was your baby's pcv/hb before the transfusion
