Living with sickle cell disease
General information — not medical advice
Emergency? Call your local emergency number now (for example
911 in the US and Canada,
999 in the UK,
112 in the EU and Nigeria) or go to the nearest hospital. 3TABZ is not an emergency or medical service.
General information — not medical advice. Always follow your haematologist, doctor or pharmacist.
WHO estimates that at least 150,000 babies are born with sickle cell disease in Nigeria every year (Africa Check, quoting WHO).
How 3TABZ can help
- Reminders for daily medicines such as folic acid, malaria prevention or hydroxyurea as prescribed for you.
- Daily check-in for water, sleep, stress and pain — and simple patterns from your own logs.
- Crisis log that can alert your care partners (only people you invite).
- Hydration-focused meal planner (general guidance).
Get help immediately if you have
severe pain not eased by your usual plan, fever, chest pain or trouble breathing, sudden weakness or trouble speaking, a painful erection lasting more than 2 hours, or sudden tiredness with pale skin. Call 112 or go to hospital.
