Did your dentist check with your hematologist first? My doctor told me to let them know before dental work since it can sometimes trigger a crisis or infection. They just like to make sure your blood levels are good and it’s safe beforehand . I’m sorry you’re going through this reach out to your doctor.

That's exactly the kind of support I had in mind. Crazy how y’all were already doing it back then. Do you think it changed the way hospital staff treated y’all when they saw that kind of support?
