Hii kayet... I really admire you.... Am currently 15 suffering ftrom SCD..... Am at home due to the attack.... I have faced body shaming just because of SCD..... I just pray to God to help me overcome my feears....I always see my peers enjoying themselves but me.... I know am talking too much but really this sickness is dealing with me mentally... Can't relly on anyone about my mental health..
Hi love, I'm 15 too I know it's not the same but I suffer from a blood cancer and I totally relate to everything you're saying about peers and mental health. If you need someone to talk to I'm here and don't lose your trust in God. He sees you and hears you❤
You can watch videos on RU-vid on how to deal with scd and depression. I know it's really hard but pls try to focus on the positive and surround yourself with things that bring you happiness 😊
Hi Kayets! Very inspiring and real content, very articulate and accurate! Kudos! I am an SCD warrior and I haven't met anyone who has explained as accurately as yiu have. We'll done. I am about to turn 37 next month so I know it doesn't end at 24. More so, my doctor has told me of 50yr old patients he has that still have their crises, and yet, they live normal lives. I am not sure if it gets better with time but I will mention that I went from being hospitalized for a month or more, to being hospitalized for a week max, as I got older. The frequencies also reduced. The trick is to take your meds faithfully, drink lots of fluids, eat balanced meals, avoid stress and strainuous activities, have the right supportive people around you, keep warm, avoid infections as much as you can (even the common cold would trigger a crisis for me). I thank God because this year, I haven't had a major crisis, it's the other day I was exclaiming with my husband 🙂 we thank God. I have also been privileged enough to have given birth, and my son is now 3 yrs old. I have also suffered a miscarriage but I thank God for my experience. All this to just encourage someone out there... We are #SCDWarriors!
Am a warrior am 34 now 😊this crisis is not a joke but for now its been 8nyears without a crisis after i gave birth.i had to overcome this through prayers telling God i don't am not meant for this because people used to say "ule ugonjwa wake umeanza" 😢i had to be strong even though mtoi niliza alipass but niliwai pitia làbour juu watu husema ati huezi zaa ama stay long na sickle cell. am a testimony am strong last crisis was worse chupa 8 hosy nayo nilikemea nikakataa hio ugonjwa mpaka leo mwaka wa 8 ni God🙏🙏💯Never say niko na ugonjwa wangu kataa and it will go in jesus name🙏

Hi kayet❤im ivy and im a sickle cell warrior too. Im turning 22 in October and im really grateful for the far i have come . Living with sickle cell anaemia aint a joke coz when you have a crisis you just feel like ur world is crumbling down 😢but we gotta stay strong regardless
Hi Kayet, my name is Chelsea. I am turning 14 in August and I have SCD. I miss school alot and my peers talk behimd my back saying I don't like school that is why I miss school so much. They don't understand what I go through. You are such a good role model and I also struggle taking my meds. I take folic acid and 3 hydroxyurea tablets a day. You're soo strong for talking about this I can't bring myself to talk about my SCD. I also think of suicide alot. Thank you so much.
You are a strong person. You are an inspiration to so many people. You give hope to people who have scd and I can't wait to see what God has planned for you. You will go far and you will be a voice to some many ppl. Hang in there I know some days you feel like giving up but God is always by your side and it's ok to not be ok sometimes. You will go far in life. I am so proud of you♡
