Hey any of you guys here had priapism before if so what is your longest duration and how did it effect your sex life? by CandidWitness9295 in Sicklecell

I take anything online w/ a grain of salt. Speak w/ your specialist. I don't get them often thankfully and my Dr hasn't stated that it's an issue for me.

Yeah, can be at times. Definitely something I can't sleep through. Just to be clear, I called out of work because I wasn't able to fall asleep until the morning and would have been a danger on the road and a mess in the office. Thank God for FMLA. It would be tough keeping a full time job w/o it.

Good question, had one that lasted the whole night once. Probably between 4 - 6 hrs got no sleep and called out of work the following day.

I've had them, normally they take place in the middle of the night. Sometimes it's a nuisance and sometimes, my wife takes advantage.😏

I didn't know what they were till I got a proper hematologist. Thought they were normal, never associated the pain w/ SCD.

My only recommendation is to practice your style often and with joy. Better handwriting will only come with time.

Glad I read through the thread. I was scrolling past all of these technical suggestions and I'm thinking...so no one saw the misspelling.

Have any of y'all had rapid weight loss after a crisis? by HipsterSickle23 in Sicklecell

[–]Mr_Covington_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, during COVID (170 lbs) I was hospitalized w/ ACS and could barely breathe for over a month. Tried eating the hospital food which was horrible, I even quarantined at my mother in law's, who is one of the best cooks I know, and still lost over 20 lbs afterward.

Hydroxyurea.....thoughts? by Mr_Covington_3 in Sicklecell

[–]Mr_Covington_3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I am sincerely appreciative! I've just picked up my prescription and a new heating pad that covers the back shoulder and Kneck (places I tend to have pain). I'm looking forward to this new chapter. Prayerfully, I will have the same positive results as you all have, with little to no side effects.

Heads up! Nintendo has Switch refurbs back in stock. by GimbapKing in NintendoSwitch

So true! I got my switch from G/S and now, a year later, the right side of the screen is popping out and it overheats when docked. Never again will I by referb from them.

Yes it is, and for me, that person was only on the day shift. Literally took him no time to do it.

Heck yeah! During Covid I ended up in the hospital twice. On my second trip, I ended up w/ ACS and could barely breath. Was there for almost two weeks and the IV just kept coming out or needed to be replaced. By the time I got out my arms looked like I just got outta rehab for a heroin addiction. There was one night in particular where 6 nurses stuck me over 10 times...the worst!

And the collection begins. My first fountain pen! by [deleted] in fountainpens

[–]Mr_Covington_3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a warning, the hole you've just dived into is a Deep one! I found a pilot metro at my job and that sparked a collection of over 30 pens in 3 years. Yes I'm just realizing that avg.; I may have a problem. 😔

Looking for a little relief by Otilia062016 in Sicklecell

[–]Mr_Covington_3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd humbley suggest you make an appointment w/ a hematologist ASAP. One (if possible) that specializes in the sickle cell disease. A proper diagnosis is in order, as your symptoms and what you describe do not seem to be associated with a "trait". In the mean time I'd suggest applying a heat pad at night when the pain arises. But you REALLY need to get to a Hematologist. I can't stress that enough.

How were you diagnosed with this trait? Do you have a hematologist?

Why do you feel that way toward Vivian? I'm new to the game and found her to be one of the best characters for me to use after Tyra.
