I thoroughly enjoyed this chat. I am a Sickle Cell Patient, and Daniel has help me in the past with the Benefit System, which I have always been grateful to him for. He still advocates for us and keeps us in the know about what going on. Thank you Daniel, we all appreciate your continued support. 🥰🙏🏾

A beautiful soul, this is so sad. The only thing I would say is that the trait is AS and AC. SC is NOT the trait. May her soul rest in eternal peace 🙏🏿

Great video and conversation. I'm a Sickle Cell Warrior with SB+. Priapism SUCKS!!! lol AR the Prophet made a very detail video documenting his experience with it and how it's treated in the hospital its on KZbin. My experience is it usually happens at night while just laying down or sleeping. It happens when my lower body is having trouble with circulation. It's painful with like a burning/numbing feeling(hard to explain) and the longer the blood is stuck the worst it gets. The way I handle it is by getting my blood to circulate by having sex with also messages it and helps the blood move, exercises like squats and jumping jacks and a heating pad.

As your mom said, I'm also in awe of you! You took an extremely challenging situation, and always with a wide and cheerful smile and turn it into what will be of great help and awareness to those having to deal with this debilitating condition, all over the world! Bravo to you young lady!!💞 I hope you get recognition for your bravery and for bringing awareness to the forefront. 👏🏽
