Finding ways to test for #sicklecell in low cost methods similar to that of point of care HIV or malaria tests, would be transformative in testing in countries that have limited resources for screening their sickle cell population. There are many tests available, including the solubility test, however inexpensive methods that prove to be more reliable in yielding accurate results are needed. #sicklecellawareness #sicklecell101 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnoyXq9ghjw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dslhlmtxh0rr

So part of my #growth is to step outta my 🦀#crabshell ♋ & #share some of my everyday experiences living with #SickleCell. Multiple traumas can stagnate & unconsciously fill you with fear. There was a time where #SickleCellAwareness & advocacy played a large role in my #life. I'd go to every Sickle Cell event, meeting, & walk-a-thon, but somewhere down the line I unconsciously allowed the back to back traumatic experiences suppress my #Spirit. As a result, I isolated myself. Literally closed myself away...Hid myself away with the window curtains drawn. My #ego couldn't #accept all the #health crises, surgeries, & instability. I felt like there was no point in sharing my story because I was in such a dark place and I didn't have a positive word for anybody. . I've worked hard to pull myself up out of the deep well of depression & #feel it's time to be the #SickleCellAdvocate #Ifeel #Iam. Letting go of resistance & negative thought patterns gives space to #allowing what is while working towards #elevating. Perpetually #healing! . #GoodMorning, it's #TransfusionDay! #SickleCellWarrior

When you decide to show up and show out for #RedSeptember and #SickleCellFridays.... . . Did you know September is #SickleCellAwareness Month. #Sicklecell is a genetic disorder characterized by sickle shaped red blood cells which can cause blockage for red blood cells to move through blood vessels. Blockage can cause extreme pain and severe complications. There is no universal cure. #FightSickleCell #KnowSickleCell #Cellfie #WearRed . . 📸 Photo Cred: @thekeyznyc (at New York, New York)
