Hello, sadly this happened to me too. Any hormonal changes can adversely affect many underlying health conditions, including sickle cell. I would just encourage you to eat as healthy a diet as possible, to keep well hydrated and to exercise. It's tough on us and that sickle cell pain is the worse. Best wishes to you
