PTSD and SCD
Do you have PTSD from an experience relating to sickle cell? This could be from a pain crisis or an experience in the ER. Share with others in the community who get it.
I don't know if I can call it PTSD but I get scared each time I see a video of someone in pain, especially vaso occlusive crisis. This is because I hardly have a crisis, the last one I had was in 2016 and it was really painful and bad. The memories linger so when I see someone in crisis, I'm always scared and do not want to remember that day.
Hmmm, I understand where you're coming from but even if I do not have crisis, I battle other complications Ikr… sickle cell always finds a way to implicate us… 😞😞😞… but we are warriors so…. Sickle cell can never defeat us😊
