Hi @lena-robbie, I can imagine, life is definitely becoming busier!

Nice, I know a lot of people who use some of the same vitamins, it is definitely something worth considering.

Sorry to hear that you caught covid again, I hope it wasn’t too disruptive and that you’re feeling better now. Do you think you’ll be getting vaccinated anytime soon?

[Tito Oye]

Thanks for your contributions guys. I recently started taking vitamin D, I’m hoping to notice an improvement sooner rather than later *fingers crossed*.

Hey Rochelle, ahh that sounds amazing!!! I would love to go to a Caribbean island some time soon! I can imagine all the sun, fresh food and no stress working wonders for us as sickle cell patients!!

[Tito Oye]

Hey Oluwatomi, please try and be as careful as you can so you avoid catching it!!!

[Tito Oye]

That’s nice of him! It’s such a blessing to have good neighbours & friends!

[Tito Oye]

I love this @virus! It’s great to hear that they are a strong motivator for you. Loved ones truly make all the difference, more than they even know!!

[Tito Oye]

Thanks for sharing this @enorris, I also have the apheresis transfusions frequently to reduce the chance of a stroke.
How do you find the process of looking after your port?

[Tito Oye]

Thank you @virus!!!

[Tito Oye]

Hi @1210charles, how do you find the process of holding yourself accountable? Have you been able to stay consistent?

[Tito Oye]

@virus it seems like you’ve been doing a good job so far! I really do hope it gets easier for you.
Do you live near any family/friends who may be able to help you out, especially during the difficult times?

[Tito Oye]

@virus I love a good superhero movie!!!

[Tito Oye]

@virus I agree 100%! It is so important & well done for being so consistent with it 🙌🏾

[Tito Oye]

@virus I agree,such places don’t have the ideal climate for people with sickle cell. I have lived in the UK my whole life and I have adjusted my behaviour to make sure I am as warm as possible during the colder seasons.

During the warmer months, do you find it harder to stay hydrated?

[Tito Oye]

@virus what was the last film you watched?

[Tito Oye]

@healed56 I love that you’ve found your balance between what your body can handle and when you might be doing too much!
What form of exercise do you do?

[Tito Oye]

Thanks for sharing this @itsabbygrl123!
What activities/habits have you picked up now?

[Tito Oye]

@virus nice!!! What is your favourite film?

[Tito Oye]

Hi David, a lot of people are in the same boat!! Sickle cell can impact every area of our lives, including our eating habits. I just wish we knew more about this earlier, that way, these habits may have been corrected more effectively instead of automatically resulting in punishments.

[Tito Oye]

Hi Chris, we’d love to hear more about the experience and what it was like for you! Thank you for offering your time to speak with other people who may be considering the same thing!

[Tito Oye]

Hi Mary,

Thank you for your comment. It is so good to hear that it is becoming a lot more of a seamless process. Hopefully it is something that more and more people have access to in the near future!

[Tito Oye]

You’re not alone Valerie!!! A lot of people with sickle cell experience it but are unaware that its sickle cell related.

I’m not 100% sure if nervousness plays a factor but I would say that you should speak with your doctor just incase they can help with it.

[Tito Oye]

Hey Rochelle,

Yes it’s so important for the instructor to know so they don’t unintentionally overwork you.

I hope you’re able to keep up the yoga classes!!

[Tito Oye]

Hi Rochelle,

I’m happy it helps you!! How long have you been using it for?

[Tito Oye]

Hi Helena, I hope you and your family are feeling much better and have managed to avoid the other variants going around. I would love to hear about the vitamins and supplements that you use if you don’t mind sharing.
