Sickle Cell Anemia | Dehydration | Severe Pain | Flare ups | Treatments | Nurse Shay Gill

🚨 Individuals that are diagnosed at birth with Sickle Cell Disease experience pain differently. ⭐️ There are 3 different forms of Sickle Cell Disease: 1. Hemoglobin SS 2. Hemoglobin SC 3. Hemoglobin Beta-Thelassemia As mentioned in this, each form varies in pain severity. ⭐️ There are many factors that triggers a Sickle Cell Crisis such as: 1. Dehydration 2. Blocked Vessels 3. Extreme Temperatures 4. Overexertion of physical activities 5. Stress And more. 🙌 When I am taking care of a patient that is enduring pain and are in crisis, one of the first topics I intentionally discuss with them is pertinent information on triggers, lifestyle changes, dietary factors, adequate hydration, and proper food choices they should incorporate into their daily routine to decrease their risks of Sickle Cell Crisis. 💪🏾 Here are some key information discussed on a recent episode of Higher Levels with Shay Show. 🙏 Fun Fact: ✝️ According to "CBS NEW YORK, 2025" 21 year old Sebastian Beauzile underwent groundbreaking gene therapy at Cohen Children's Medical center and was cured of Sickle Cell Anemia, by using Lyfgenia. 🙌
