Sickle Cell Pain Crisis Suppression

- By Tayo Faloye, 06-07-22

Woke up to some cracklings and discomforting frictions in my hips and thighs. I could feel a crisis trying to rear its ugly head. The experience isn't new. It's been raining for days. Today's is a bit intensified. Change in weather is one of the triggers for Sickle Cell Crisis. 

I decided to stay back at home as a preventive measure without informing the family before they'd all gone out for the day. Contacted my staff not to expect me at the office. Prepared my dogs food, set her loose to go poo, and stayed back for awhile to watch her run around under the rain playing with relish before ordering her back into her crate to eat.
