One of the hardest aspect of living with Sickle Cell is having to prove to others just how Sickle Cell pain and complications affect your everyday life.
Have you ever felt like you have to prove that you are actually in pain to those around you?
It's horrible.
When you have Sickle Cell it can be hard to show people how it feels living with an invisible illness that causes a lot pain. You become very good at putting a mask on to hide just how you feel truly and just how much it affects you.
Most warriors are called names, labeled as lazy or denied adequate medical attention because they don't look visibly in pain and people or medical personnels do doubt because they physically can't see our pain.
Unfortunately no matter how educated someone is about Sickle Cell unless they experienced it themselves then they truly will never understand.
People struggle to understand things they can't see.
Dear warriors just know you never have to prove just how much in pain you are. Your pain and struggles are real and should be validated.
Sickle-Tember.
