For some sickle cell warriors, keeping malaria out reduces the potency of every other crisis trigger. Please tag someone who should see this. #sicklecellawarenessmonth #sicklecelladvocate #sicklecelladvocacy #nonprofit #thesicklesound #sicklecelldisease #healthyliving – at Abuja, Nigeria

For the sickle cell warrior, the pain crisis is almost inevitable. However, warriors can be cautious in their day to day lives to reduce their chances of having a pain crisis. #thesicklesound #SickleCellAwarenessmonth #sicklecelladvocacy #sicklecelladvocate #sicklecelldisease – at Abuja, Nigeria

People living with SCD need to take precautions in their daily life to avoid activities/situations that could result in a pain crisis. Sing along 😁 Share with a sickle cell warrior 😊 #thesicklesound #sicklecelldisease #SickleCell #sicklecellwarrior #sicklecelladvocacy

An employee with SCD is entitled to expect their employer to make reasonable adjustments to ensure they are not disadvantaged at work. These adjustments can be to premises, provision of equipment, or work practices that people with SCD may struggle to comply with.

Stress Stress is a recognized trigger of crisis in people with SCD. Avoid excessive monitoring, and adjust targets and deadlines to allow flexibility. Allow the employee to work at their own pace. Permit modifications to uniforms to enable the worker remain warm and well.

Temperature People with SCD need to keep warm to remain well. Consider allocating workstations nearest to heating source or furthest away from cold. Consult employees about the use of air‐conditioning (as rapidly cooled skin is a key trigger for a sickle cell crisis).
