Hello everyone, I am a sicke cell trait carrier and lately I have such low energy and twitches on the side of my body Dr found a lot of inflammation in my joints , my back and side of it. I get light headed and at times dizzy.

I really hope someone could study more on this matter cause as carrier we do have effects and they hurt.

It is unfortunate that you have suffered from symptoms with sickle cell trait. I also have sickle cell trait and suffer with symptoms. I hope more research will be done too.
