Sickle Cell Has Affected My Life Choices

How did the diagnosis come about? Initial signs/symptoms? When did you notice the initial symptoms?

The initial symptoms were pain in the hands, rise in bilirubin leading to jaundice. There was also fever and overall weakness. I cannot confirm but I had the pain since when I was a child, maybe since when I was 5-6 years old.

What tests were done at the time?

Tests that were done were Complete Blood Count, Lung Function test (LFT), Kidney Function Test (KFT) and HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography – a blood test).
