We are very happy to  provide this online support group for sickle cell patients to exchange information, however, we must stress that it is a mistake to use this support group as their primary source of information.  While the exchange of patient experiences is undeniably important in helping you make certain decisions, they are only a small part of the complete picture that make up your condition and treatment options. ALWAYS consult your doctor before making any medical decisions.
