more topics like this. being in public health there is never enough
emphasis on these types of diseases. More awareness should be integrated
into Nigeria like this. I had a cousin with sickle cell that came to
America and ended up passing away at the hospital here.

I have sickle cell and still able to run 18-20km every week and still play
rugby aswell. If you eat the right food and take the right supplements you
should be able to live a semi normal life.

It is fine that this is talked about, it will as well be nice to know where
this virus generated from. Sickle cell virus was created by the so called
Caucasians to reduce the amount black population so that the whites out
number the blacks. You don’t trust it check it for yourself on the web.

My Aunt passed from sickle cell. Here in Jamaica there’s a great deal of
research being done on on sickle cell. Great topic.

I know that on your Nigerian driver’s license the blood group is
listed…To my understanding it is advised that certain blood groups should
not marry other blood groups for fear of having a baby with Sickle Cell
Anemia…I have known several classmates and co workers that have Sickle
Cell Anemia and they have had “flare ups” on a few occasions and are
typically very thin physically, but otherwise they live a pretty normal
life here in America…

yes good video, thanks for bring this very bad disease to the eyes and
hears of many people. My first husband was Nigerian and we married at 20
years old he was my first love my first everything. So we married but he
never told me he was sick I found out from a doctor after he had a crisis
and I was shocked. I suffered with him for years it seems he was in the
hospital every month, and I was loosing our babies left and right. The
stress was to much, I prayed and prayed for him to get cured but there is
no cure. Also their is no support for families that suffer with love one
with this disease sadly our marriage did not last but he became a
pharmacists after many years of trying and now lives the American Dream.
May God be with all who suffer with this unbearable pain and I pray that
you get the meds and help you need.
