In this episode of Talk with Julie Podcast, a mother shares her deeply personal journey raising a daughter with sickle cell anemia. She discusses the importance of medical management, including monthly clinical check-ups, and the challenges of living with the condition without fully understanding it. She highlights the need for community support, both in school and beyond, and advocates for training children about carrier status to promote awareness.

Driven by her own experiences, she shares how her passion for better care and a brighter future fuels her commitment to advocacy. Her emotional bond with her daughter serves as a powerful motivator, turning advocacy into a coping mechanism that provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Tune in to hear how this inspiring mother's journey is shaping the future for those affected by sickle cell anemia.

Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin gene (HBB), resulting in the production of abnormal hemoglobin (HbS). The sickled red blood cells are less effective at transporting oxygen, break down prematurely (causing anemia), and can block blood vessels, leading to pain and organ damage.

In this Episode Dr. Auma takes us throgh the Pathophysiology and the Management like:

Pain relief during crises (NSAIDs, opioids)

Hydroxyurea to reduce crises

Blood transfusions to manage anemia

Vaccinations and antibiotics to prevent infections

Hydration and oxygen therapy during crises

Overall, treatment focuses on alleviating symptoms, preventing complications, and improving quality of life.

Join me and Dr. Otieno as he takes us through the causes and signs of DVT. This is a condition where a blood clot forms in a deep vein as he explains. Understanding these causes and symptoms is vital for preventing serious complications like a pulmonary embolism. Stay with us on this episode as we break down the essentials of DVT.

In this second part, Emily explains that she was in a critical situation when a doctor told her she had a blood clot—one that was dangerously close to her lungs. She was put on blood thinners for seven months. At first, she couldn’t believe someone her age needed them—she’d always associated blood thinners with older people. But just a year later, she found herself facing another clot, and this time, she knew exactly what to do. Looking back, she realized there was one doctor who truly saved her life, but she also came to understand that her health was ultimately her responsibility. Despite the challenges, she made a commitment to herself: she would never skip her daily walks, no matter what. That routine became a symbol of her determination to take control of her recovery and her future.
