Where should I begin, I haven’t been feeling good ever since last week. I had a little trip to E.R they didn’t keep me because well my count wasn’t low enough! Go figure right? Shrugs! I started feeling better, but you know the saying calm before the storm right? Early Sunday Morning, it hit me hard and like a ton of bricks. I felt it in my legs,arms,back,etc. I smile when I wanted to cry, took plenty hot showers and bath just to feel a little relief. I had forgotten about bengay, it came to me in dream last night. I’m trying to hold out going back to hospital because of school, semester ends tomorrow. I have to be honest, I haven’t done any homework, every time I tried the pain go bad, sounds bad or like I have excuse not to finish my homework. I’m so ashamed, but if you ever felt bad you know exactly what I’m talking about. I’m so thankful for all the prayers and encouraging words, truly have touch me. I have one of the worse headaches, i don’t know how long I done had it. I’m just glad my back isn’t hurting, because it was painful to move or get up once I did sit down. I could go on and on with this post, but I do have to tempt to get some more homework done, but I do know for a fact if I’m not feeling better in the morning, I’ll be at the hospital dreading it all! I must admit this is the worst I have felt since going into crisis and sharing with you all lovely people. I believe when I got introduce to the ideal of blogging about my illness,I was just starting out really to blogging here. It was bad then, and it’s not pretty now. So on that note, I hope everyone is having a lovely and bless night! God Bless 🙂
Living With Sickle Cell Anemia
Poets Afterthought 
PJ, you should not feel ashamed about things, you are fighting a bad illness! No one should make you feel bad. I just will keep praying! I also feel that the ER there for you is not really overly caring. It shouldn’t be like that. Sending you love and hugs ❤

Thank You Autumn, for your kind words. I would have to agree with you about the ER situation, not many people in my area have the disease,so they don’t know how to treat. I know one thing I better not hear no nonsense tomorrow if i have to return. If I was closer to Mobile, yea hr and something away, but when you in pain you don’t want to have to drive or ride that far to be seen! I believe I need to move! Thank you for the love and hugs, sending some right back atcha! God Bless

Autumn beat me to the comments I see and she said such wonderful things. PJ, I will add of course that I will keep praying for you to feel better. It really is an illness that brings so much pain and problems. I know I told you that Autumn and I both read up on it, I hope maybe other readers should do the same. I worry, like Autumn said about the ER, they are not caring enough! Just please as Autumn pointed out, Do not feel ashamed, you are so brave and strong but sometimes the pain does overtake anything else going on. Sending along more love and hugs to join Autumn’s. ❤

So many prayers for you here in NW Alabama, dear journey! I just HATE it that you are not feeling well again. I have no idea to suggest except some boswellia and tumeric herbal capsules to ease the leg, back and arm aches. I have a busted mitral valve that does not function much at all to pass on oxygenated blood from my heart out to my body, so I always suffered my entire life with leg aches until I started using these herbs at the age of 64!! Yesterday, I jogged/walked 5 miles in two segments and had NO aches whatsoever. I feel better iterally now than I did when I was 5 and 6 years old. I know herbs should not confict with your prescribed medications. They will not do any harm, and might help a little bit. PRAYING SO HARD FOR YOU!

Hang in there and I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I have a dear friend who also suffers from sickle cell and my heart just shatters because every single time I contact him, without fail, he tells me he’s going to the hospital or has been to the hospital recently. Keep telling your story though because it will cause people to become more aware. Because of my friend, I’ve researched it and have become more aware of its effects. Thank you very much for the post.
