We asked this question to a select group of people and had a good laugh at some of the responses.

Your relationship with your own body is the most complicated love story of a Sickle cell warrior's life.

Agree?

😂 Add YOUR line to the monologue in the comments. What have you said to your own body recently? Let's make this thread fun.😁

Emotional stress is one of the most underestimated crisis triggers for people living with SCD. The following reasons explains why👇:
✅️ Stress hormones narrow blood vessels
✅️ Narrowed vessels = reduced blood flow
✅️ Reduced flow = sickling episodes.

Your body responds to your mind. Now, that's not weakness. It is science.

Dear warriors, protect your peace like it's medication. Because for you, it literally is.

Share this with someone who needs to hear it. Save this for the days when you need reminding.
The NAFFSC cares.❤️

The benefits of folic acid for a sickle cell warrior is numerous.
Daily recommendation for SCD adults: 1 - 5mg per day. However, we strongly recommend you ask your doctor for your specific dose.

Natural sources of Vitamin B9 in some of our Nigerian foods include: Ugwu, beans, peas, oranges, liver (in moderation), etc.

💊 Are you taking your folic acid consistently? Vote: YES or SOMETIMES or NO in the comments. No judgment, just information that helps us help you.

Feel free to add yours. Let's keep the fun going! Also, let us know how many boxes you ticked. It's time to separate the sickle-aware warriors from the rest.😁

This is long overdue, in our opinion🤷‍♀️.
Nigeria as a matter of urgency, needs to implement a comprehensive New-Born Screening Policy to facilitate the early detection and prompt treatment of genetic and metabolic disorders in newborns, thereby improving health outcomes and reducing long-term health complications.

Your voice matters. Lend your voice in advocating for better policies that would guarantee better health outcomes.

You'll have your moment again!
You matter, along with your health and life.
You are enough.

💬 Share a moment when SCD made you miss out and how you managed. Your success story can inspire someone else.

In many Nigerian hospitals, sickle cell patients in crisis are undertreated for pain. Even when patients present with severe vaso-occlusive crisis, the average wait time for pain relief is unacceptably long if we're being honest.

This is not just a resource problem, it is a perception problem. Pain in SCD patients is often dismissed or labelled as drug-seeking.

Every health practitioner needs to hear this: 

Pain is real, it is measurable, and it deserves urgent response.

Share this with every doctor, nurse, or medical student you know. The culture of dismissal has to end!
