This is false, I have the trait and I’ve had complications that only those with the disease are supposed to get, I’ve had my spleen removed because it infarcted. Pretty much ceased function, I’m currently in the hospital right now because I just had my first pain crisis at 24. I’m a pretty healthy person i player divison 1 sports for 5 years and the university I played at took my conditionin very seriously even if it was just the trait. And that’s the point I’m trying to make people need to stop dismissing the trait because they have just as severe complications as those with the diseases. Maybe not as many cases but it DOES HAPPEN
I have been sick all my life and no doctor ever pinpointed what was wrong. I have a whole long list of health issues. I only recently learned that I have sickle cell trait. So some people can have bad symptoms with sickle cell trait; it is not just about high altitude or participation in extreme physical activities!
I have the trait and my bones and body been hurting all my life. L-glutamine supplement in water or juice is the only relief to keep these crises at bay. Went to a 7500ft altitude city and got so sick I had to take meds. I'm tired of European doctors saying the trait can live a normal life. Its just not true. 45% of my red blood cells are sickled.😢
Drink 3 liters of water a day and more during stressful times, activities, hot days and preventing permanent damage to all body tissues like bones, joints, organs, skin which is the largest organ of the body. If I don’t drink 3 liters of water a day my skin gets extremely dry.
The name sickening cell trait is severely misleading. There are soooo many things that are dangerous for us that are not for normal people. Straining exercise, regular anemia, high altitude, low altitude, heat, and even scuba diving cause you to have full-blown sickle cell crisis episodes. You also have inflammation and swelling more often. Also, some of your blood cells ARE sickled. Just not as many. The more strain you put on your body causes complications. You do NOT have to be a college athlete.... just work really hard physically (in other words, losing breath, etc...). I went scuba diving and got VERY sick afterwards.... because I didn't know it caused complications. Also, they are still learning more as this is NOT a disease heavily focused on in the medical community (it only affects a small demographic already least cared about.
Not true we have pain as well. I was in the hospital several times for chest pain and I didn't even know I had the trait. I finally asked the doctor to just check me for sickle cell because I happened to research my symptoms and they were similar to those with sickle cell. And sure enough I have the sickle cell trait. I no longer listen to doctors anymore lol, I don't want to hear shit from anyone who does not have the trait. How the hell would you know?
I have the trait and have joint pain all the time. I have bone spurs in lower lumbar, spondylosis. Chronic headaches, fatigue, I could go on and on, but we'd be here for a while. And today is windy and very cold, so I'm in bed due to joint pain. My uncle died 5 years ago from SCD. He suffered a long time.
I know someone with the trait that went running & was told they had a sickle cell crisis unknowingly which led to Rhabdomyolysis which the dominos was kidney failure & leg amputation…
I used to be active in sports. I played volleyball, a type of baseball and then i started training to run🏃♀️🏃♀️. I used to pass out in school during PE. But with the running i started finding it very hard to breath. Everything around me went from colour to grey to dark one day. I sat beside the road until i could walk again, went home and never took up another sport. Now im out of shape, unnaturally tired all the fucking time and different parts of my body hurt everday. My yearly check ups show no reason for me to feel this way.
My mom had the sickle cell. Disease so she passed away but me and my twin has the trait nothings been happening lately I’m learning about the trait though to see what may happen in our life we’ve been normal nothing has been happening I’m just wondering what happens If you have it..just to make sure

People with the trait still end up in the hospital
I’m so tired of people saying the pain isn’t the same with the trait…I have been to the hospital so many times for a crisis
not true, i get stabbing pains in my chest from the trait

There definitely needs to be more studies conducted on sickle cell trait. I have it and have had complications.
They need a relearning
I have the trait but experience severe pains when am cold stressed or sick with another diseases and my bones always hurts

I have the trait, and I am a specialist in hematology and this video is quite upsetting.
I do not have this, but my baby was born with it and he inherited that from his dad. I want to learn more about this for my one month old baby’s sake.

I haven't been admitted in a hospital since I was 2 years old even though I am a carrier AS.
