That doctor has no idea what he is talking about. I have sickle cell and I 37, In the last four years I have started having seizure because of the pain medication they prescribed while I am in the hospital. Anyone with sickle cell wouldn't do things like that to add to the problems we already have to deal with. I also have a sister that's living with sickle cell and one that died from it, she had a seizure at eleven months old that took her life so I guess if your doctor is right that would mean she committed suicide at 11 months old. Hang in there and go find the answers you need maybe you need a new doctor. Hope this helps

What is curative care versus palliative care?
Curative care is directed at healing or curing a disease....like taking an antibiotic for a bladder infection, or Vitamin C if you have scurvy. Palliative care involves offering care that helps relieve the symptoms, but does not cure or treat the cause of a disease...like getting a massage for a stiff neck and sore shoulder which is caused by a ruptured disc in the cervical spine. The massage helps alleviate some of the pain, but does not cure the spinal defect.
What is the hemoglobin level of an anaemic?
Hi, When I was anaemic my haemoglobin was 4.1. This is very low. I was severely anaemic though and I was only 13. I would say that if you were at thebeginning stages of anaemia then your haemoglobin would be around 9 or 10. I know that mine was meant to be 12 but it might be higher for adults.If you do think that you might be anaemic then I would definitely go and see your doctor to get it sorted out. At an early stage he/she will probably put you on iron tablets. For me I was rushed to hospital and given 2 blood transfusions. That was October 2008 and I am still having tests to find out why.Hope this has helped. Good Luck
