Anyone else here with Sickle Cell ?

If so how have you been managing? Lately I've been having more pain episodes.....mostly after lifting weights - which i hate bc i love to lift heavy. this is becoming a problem bc im unable to workout for days at a time- not even simple exercises like walking.

:( just was wondering if theres anyone out there in the same boat.

    I don't, and hate knowing a friend is dealing with this. I'm sorry girl. I know you're taking in all the right supplements and plenty of water. Have you talked to your doc?

    Not sure if anyone is still checking this thread, but I have sickle cell SS and a couple other health conditions and am fighting to ease myself into weight loss. I would love to weight lift and hope to get there but for now im doing mild to easy cardio and yoga for strength training. I have read that low impact work is important and can help, so I am really trying to stick with that.. it would be great to have someone to chat with about this
