Living with Sickle Cell Disease:

Sickle Cell Disease can be handled with medicine, but you must maintain a healthy lifestyle by:

~Eating healthy
~Staying hydrated
~Exercise
~Adequate sleep
~Avoiding drinking and smoking

Make sure to get regular checkups, and inform your doctor if any sudden changes in health occur. Talk with your doctor about pain management, as it is different for each person.
