Nobody really talks about how to deal with the stress that comes with the current living with sickle cell especially in a 3rd world country; instead, everyone talks about how to survive in it.
>>>Swipe to see ‘s best way to stress LESS ⬇️

Having chronic illness is tough and has so many variables that contribute to a constant stressful state.
Having pain can be pretty stressful (as well as uncomfortable..)
Having a condition causing unpredictable flare-ups is stressful.
Stress can trigger painful flare-ups.
and this doesn't include all of life's unpredictabilities in between living with a chronic illness.

It is so important to figure out a way to manage your stress since it clearly negatively impacts health.

In order to manage your stress, it is important to first IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF YOUR STRESS. What is stressing you out? How does it affect you (physically and mentally)? Is there a particular time you notice you have increased stress?

In addition to the 4 A's for coping:
🤍 listen to body and learn when to rest
🤍 try to identify your triggers and identify themes/areas you need healing (triggers are messages to us, maybe to set boundaries or to slow down or ask for help..)
🤍 lifestyle habits (regular exercise, balanced diet, avoid alcohol & smoking)

❓ how’s your stress level? Comment 1-10 below! I’m at a 6.5 (much improved since last month 🙃)

Sickle cell trait (SCT) is a genetic condition where a person inherits one normal hemoglobin gene and one abnormal hemoglobin gene, called hemoglobin S.

Unlike sickle cell blood disorder, which occurs when a person inherits two copies of the hemoglobin S gene, individuals with SCT usually do not experience any symptoms or health problems.

One common misconception about SCT is that people with this condition have sickled cells. However, this is not entirely accurate. While individuals with sickle cell disease have a high percentage of sickled cells in their bloodstream, people with SCT generally do not have sickled cells except in certain circumstances.

Under normal conditions, individuals with SCT have red blood cells that function normally and do not sickle. However, certain triggers, such as extreme dehydration, high altitudes, or low oxygen levels, can cause the hemoglobin S in their red blood cells to sickle temporarily. This can happen in situations where there is increased stress on the body, such as during intense physical activity or illness.

It's important to note that while sickling in individuals with SCT is generally not harmful, it can potentially cause complications in certain situations. For example, athletes with SCT may be at increased risk of exertional sickling, which can lead to muscle breakdown and kidney damage. Similarly, individuals with SCT who travel to high altitudes or undergo anesthesia may experience sickling and related complications.

In conclusion, while people with sickle cell trait may not have sickled cells under normal circumstances, they can experience temporary sickling in certain situations. It's important for individuals with SCT to be aware of these potential complications and take appropriate precautions to prevent them.

One of the most significant factors that can exacerbate the symptoms of sickle cell disease is iron consumption. While iron is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in the body's function, it can also contribute to the development of oxidative stress and inflammation, which can further damage tissues and organs affected by sickle cell disease.

For individuals with sickle cell disease, it is essential to monitor iron intake carefully. Foods that are high in iron, such as red meat, liver, and spinach, should be consumed in moderation, and iron supplements should only be taken under the supervision of a doctor.

It is also essential for individuals with sickle cell disease to eat a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These foods contain antioxidants and other beneficial compounds that can help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.

In summary, managing iron consumption is an essential aspect of managing sickle cell disease. By being mindful of the amount of iron in diet and eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, individuals with sickle cell disease can help reduce their symptoms and improve their overall health.
