Sickle Cell Anaemia

Please sign my guestbook before you leave... Thanks.


My site is about Sickle Cell Anaemia, an hereditary blood disorder that I have.

I have also included some information concerning Hydroxyurea, a drug which has been "proven" to reduce serious crises by up-to fifty per cent (50%) (note: up-to means anything from 1-50%).


The information on my site comes from my knowledge of Sickle Cell Anaemia and was written by myself, apart from the information on Hydroxyurea and Malaria. It has been put on the WWW (world wide web) purely for educational purposes for anyone that may be interested in Sickle Cell Anaemia. This is because of the lack of understanding that people have of Sickle Cell Anaemia and I am trying to change this.

I aim to cover the following topics and increase your understanding of:
  • Sickle Cell Disorders
  • Sickle Beta Thalassaemia
  • Haemoglobin SC Disease
  • Sickle Cell Anaemia
  • Haemoglobin
  • Who is affected?
  • What happens in a crisis?
  • Hospital Stay and Treatment
  • Medication
  • Preventative Treatment
  • Affects of Sickle Cell on the individual
    (the difficulties with education and employment)
  • Financial Entitlements
  • How you may be able to help
