Symptomatic: Life of A Sickle Cell Carrier: An Invisible Disability - My Story - Paperback

by Louise Rachael Mwape Miller (Author)

A first-hand account of the author's personal experiences with a so-called rare blood condition, not widely researched, yet stereotyped as benign. This book provides an intimate, never before disclosed experience with the author, who has been symptomatic all her life. Growing up in a community where the full blown disease was commonly recognized and dominant, her experiences as a carrier were never validated in early childhood, because of a gross lack of awareness in the medical world and in clinical publications and textbooks. This is her story from a faith-filled perspective! This book aims to spread awareness of the dangers and highlight the risks of such gross ignorance.
