Chronic Pain Survival Kit

Sickle Cell Warriors Sickle Cell warriors deal with an insurmountable amount of pain. However, due to unconscious judgments and implicit bias displayed by medical providers, warriors often wait until their pain is unbearable before seeking treatment. The other option is to be prescribed opioid medications which can often send us into a downward spiral. Living with this lifelong chronic illness has taught me to prepare before the raging storm.
