Brain fog with sickle cell disease is real, and it can affect focus, memory, studying, work, and everyday life. Sometimes it is not laziness or lack of motivation. For many sickle cell warriors, chronic pain, fatigue, anemia, stress, poor sleep, and other complications can make it harder to think clearly or stay focused.

I’ve experienced this throughout school and even in my engineering career. There were times when I knew what I needed to do, but my brain just would not lock in. That is why accommodations matter. Extra time on exams, quiet testing rooms, breaks, and support are not shortcuts. They help level the playing field.

Sickle cell warriors cope with pain in different ways, even during a full-blown crisis. Dancing, posting, or trying to laugh through the pain doesn’t mean the pain isn’t real. But we also have to be mindful of how hospital videos may be perceived, because sickle cell patients already face harmful misconceptions in the medical field. Let’s talk about coping, perception, and why warriors still deserve to be believed. 🩸🏥

Dating with sickle cell disease comes with conversations most people never think about. One of the biggest questions is: when should you tell someone you have sickle cell while dating?

For me, I wouldn’t share everything on the first date, but if there’s real interest by the second or third date, that may be the right time to have an honest conversation. Not because you owe anyone your full medical history, but because transparency, compatibility, and future planning matter.

This is especially important if you want children one day, because knowing whether someone has sickle cell trait, sickle cell disease, or another hemoglobin trait can help both people make informed decisions.

Disclosure is not an apology. It is honesty. The right person should be mature enough to listen, learn, and respect your reality.

Warriors, when do you usually tell someone you have sickle cell while dating?

If you see me outside looking like this, just know I’m fighting for oxygen, energy, and good vibes all at the same time 😂

Low hemoglobin and sickle cell fatigue will have your social battery on 2% before the function even gets started. For Sickle Cell Warriors, showing up can take more energy than people realize, especially when chronic illness, pain, and low oxygen levels are already working in the background.

Sickle Cell Warriors, be honest: how long do you usually last at the function before your body clocks out? Drop your time in the comments 👀🤣🥲

Warrior to warrior: when a sickle cell pain crisis starts building, having an ER plan can make a stressful moment feel a little more organized.

For me, my sickle cell ER pain plan includes checking in online through MyChart or AdventHealth before I arrive, keeping a hospital go-bag checklist in my Notes app, sharing that checklist with a caregiver, and using a calm triage script to clearly explain my pain level, symptoms, and what has or hasn’t helped me in the past.

Once I’m there, I focus on hydration, rest, and gentle movement only if it feels safe for my body.

Now I want to hear from other Sickle Cell Warriors and caregivers: What’s your ER pain crisis plan? What do you pack? What do you say at triage? What helps you get comfortable faster?

Building a career with sickle cell disease is a real conversation.
Warriors do not just choose jobs based on passion, money, or status. We also have to think about pain triggers, stress, temperature, physical demands, health insurance, PTO, flexibility, and whether the work environment supports our health.
Blue-collar or white-collar, every career path comes with pros and cons when you live with an unpredictable illness.
We are not less ambitious. We just have to be more strategic.
What career or work environment has worked best for your health?

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. – Proverbs 3:5-8

Hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday 🙏🏾
