A member asked:
I have had sickle cell crisis frequently for the last 2 years, is there any tips on how i can manage the anaemia better. thanks?

Hematologist: You need to be on folic acid. I would consider Hydroxyurea to try and reduce crisis episodes. However, you need to see a hematologist who takes care of a lot of sickle cell patients. Hope this helps.
