You know what time it is.

Polling day.

Voting matters in every community, but especially in communities living with health inequality that too often goes ignored.

Tower Hamlets and Lewisham both have responsibilities to people living with Sickle Cell Disorder. That responsibility cannot stop at awareness campaigns. It must show up in funding, services and safe care.

Pay attention to who is making decisions in your area.

On my way to vote in the local elections.

I understand why many people feel disconnected from politics right now. A lot of communities do not feel seen, heard, or represented. But local elections still shape what happens in our boroughs, our hospitals, our schools, our housing, and the services people rely on every day.

We may not control everything, but we do have a direct say in who makes decisions in our area. That matters.

Small actions still count. Use your voice.

Most people won’t hear about this until it’s already gone.

The Acute Sickle Cell Unit in Lewisham is at risk of losing funding this August.

This is one of the only services that allows patients in crisis to bypass A&E and receive timely, appropriate care.

And we already know what happens in A&E.

Delays.
Unmanaged pain.
Patients left waiting far too long.

Another specialist unit in London has already closed this year.

So this isn’t hypothetical.

It’s happening.

If this unit closes, it will lead to more complications, more suffering, and avoidable harm.

If you’ve ever experienced this system failing you, now is the time to speak.

Contact Lewisham Council.
Tag NHS England.
Share your experience.

Do not let this happen quietly.

A lot of people are under-eating protein and fibre… and then wondering why their energy feels off.

This is what support can look like.

Period pain isn’t random.

It’s driven by real physiological changes in the body.

Prostaglandins rise just before your period, triggering uterine contractions, increasing inflammation, and reducing oxygen flow. That’s what causes the cramping, pain, and other symptoms.

For someone living with Sickle Cell Disorder, this becomes even more significant.

You’re already managing reduced oxygen delivery and increased inflammation. So when these changes happen during your cycle, it can place additional strain on the body and increase the risk of pain crises.

If you notice a pattern each month, there’s a reason for it.

This is why it needs to be understood and supported properly.

This is something many women with Sickle Cell Disorder experience… but it’s rarely talked about.

Your menstrual cycle can directly impact pain levels.

Hormonal shifts, increased inflammation, and blood loss can all place extra strain on the body, making crises more likely during this time.

So if you notice a pattern each month… you’re not imagining it.

Your body is responding to real physiological changes.

This is why support needs to be intentional, especially around your cycle.
