Experiences with sickle cell trait

[Salaxy]

Ds heel prick came back as him having sickle cell trait - Dp has it and aside from passing down of genes says there are no other issues. No further contact from GP or any kind of specialist to discuss further.
NHS website says need to be careful with oxygen restricted activities.
Any advice appreciated as I’m freaking out a bit!

Unless junior is an extreme athlete, complications from SCT are very rare.

Thank you will have a look at that link

I have the sickel cell trait and have no symptoms of the actual disease. However I know some people who do have the trait and suffer with very very mild symptoms. I've just watched a doc on iPlayer about people living with sickle cell and it's really saddened me that some patients are jsut dismissed in such a terrible way. I'll share so that other people might watch it too - www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p09v8wjz/newsbeat-documentaries-sickle-cell-fighting-for-care
