MY MOM HAD SICKLE CELL AND COOLEY’S ANEMIA! HER OLDER SISTER(MY AUNT) HAD ONLY SCD-NON -COOLEY’S ANEMIA. MY AUNT DIED FROM COMPLICATIONS DUE TO ACUTE PANCREATITIS AT THE AGE OF 65. MY MOM RECENTLY DIED FROM COMPLICATIONS DUE TO ACUTE LIVER FAILURE…I’M SURE THOSE LITTLE DEVILS FOUND THEIR WAY INTO HER LIVER. HER POOR LIVER DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO DO…SO IT SHUT DOWN. SHE DIED BACK IN LATE MARCH OF THIS YEAR! SHE WAS 14 MONTHS SHY OF HER 80TH BIRTHDAY! MY BROTHER AND I HAVE THE TRAIT AS WELL AS G6PD DEFICIENCY! MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU TEST FOR COOLEY’S ANEMIA TRAIT?

A person who inherits just one gene is healthy and said to be a "carrier" of the disease.
MY MOM HAD SCD AND COOLEY’S ANEMIA! SHE HAD A REALLY BAD CRISIS BACK IN ‘06! HER Hgb SLIPPED BELOW 5 GRAMS. SHE THEN WENT INTO AN APLASTIC CRISIS. THEY POURED BLOOD INTO AT LEAST 4 UNITS. HER BLOOD COUNT WENT 1 POINT THEN DROPPED BACK DOWN! SHE SLIPPED INTO A COMA! I PRAYED HARD FOR HER, AND SHE CAME BACK…BY THE GRACE OF THE MOST HIGH GOD! SHE DROPPED DOWN FROM A SIZE 16 TO A SIZE 6! HER DOCTOR BLAMED IT ON THE DEMEROL…MAYBE IT WAS-MAYBE IT WASN’T!
