Brother Naija-Man ... i'm not sure that i understand the question.

Are you asking should Sickle Cell Anemia be considered a disability, in that, those who have it receive financial compensation from the government, because they can't work, or are routinely sick, from the disease?

Is it already considered a disability in this country?

I don't have it, don't know anyone with it, but if it is debilitating, why shouldn't it get the same consideration as other debilitating diseases?

I'm not sure that i understand the question.

:heart:

To be honest, I'm not sure.
some people with SCA can do things like u and me,
but SCA comes in at differet levels.....

i know that some people get pains, and feel very tired at times.
blood in urine at times.

(T-boz from TLC had 2 call off a tour due to her condition).

I guess it's betta for those with SCA or those who have sum1 close 2 dem, to answer.

when we hear the word "disability" we mainly think of the physical sense, i.e movement,being in a chair, unable to do normal stuff like me & you.
