Unfortunately SCT can present with symptoms similar to SCD crisis. When this happens you must aggressively hydrate, rest and take high dose NSAIDs on a schedule. Like 800 of ibuprofen every 8 hours. Unless you have an allergy. Green Herb (any health food store) and Only Natural Inc brand of Noni juice (online) can help a lot. If you have a doctor who is up on the latest , they should know it’s poss and if so may be willing to give you OV fluids and Oxygen during these very painful episodes.
There are many of us out here suffering with you. And many facing denial of our experience which can make you feel crazy. What you are experiencing is more common than recognized in the medical community. Many others have symptoms with season change possibly because season changes means the pressure gradients change which impacts blood cell and oxygen carrying capacities. As well as delivery.
I hope this helps. Be well
Hello Luvnuallways, thanks for your tips. I also have sickle cell trait and I have symptoms similar to disease. I have a question what is Nsaids? And is this medicine effective when it comes to sickle cell crisis? I have been having a lot of pain and sickle cell pain in my arms and chest. Oxygen is very important and there are portable oxygen bags you can buy online for a reasonable price I am looking into buying me a portable oxygen bag because with sickle cell trait sometimes my oxygen level is low and it would be nice to have one at home. God bless
Wow sorry to hear about your pain. God will keep you ErikaSutt, and Jeshua looks out for his children.💯
