@healthdaily.official: What is sickle cell disease, and why were people once told that children with sickle cell might not live to celebrate their 5th birthday? Sickle cell disease is a genetic, inherited blood disorder that affects haemoglobin and the shape of red blood cells. It can cause episodes of severe pain, anaemia, fatigue and other complications. But a lot has changed over the years. Early diagnosis, better treatment, regular medical care and improved awareness have helped many people living with sickle cell live longer lives. Meet Eunice Ouma, a sickle cell warrior who is now 45 years old and has lived with sickle cell for decades. 🩸❤️ In this video, she shares her experience of growing up with sickle cell and what has changed over the years. #SickleCell #SickleCellDisease #SickleCellAwareness #SickleCellWarrior #sicklecellanemia
