Sickle Cell & Cold
Today I was asked a question by a friend, “Which do you like better, hot or cold?” My answer was a vehement HOT! Not just because it’s so miserable being cold but mainly because when I’m cold for a period of time (like more than 20 minutes), I put myself at a higher risk of…

I worked a Double last night….my second double (16 hour shift) ever! It was actually not too bad work wise, and I was able to chill out and rest today before my next shift 2morrow. I think I’m going to be doing good for the next few weeks with work even though I plan to…
Read MoreMy Epiphany About Sickle Cell
When I was a freshman in college, I worked part time at the Social Sciences building for this teacher, grading reports and filing her paperwork.

What’s up fam? It’s been a week and surprisingly I’ve been well. Very well in fact. Nothing much to report…I think the L Arginine is really giving me a boost nowadays. It’s like my own personal crunk juice/spinach. Speaking of spinach, when I was younger in high school, the house mistress of my dormitory used…

I’d been skating on thin ice for weeks, dealing with daily pain and my eyes were definitely juandiced. I knew I was about to fall sick, the question was when. 2 weeks ago, I was thrown into a crushing series of L3’s uncontrolled by meds. This hit me right after work, when I was on…

Norion’s dad sent me a forward a few weeks ago about L-Arginine that he had gotten from a fellow scientist researching the benefits of L-Arginine and nitric oxide to cardiovascular conditions. In addition, someone had left a comment on a previous post about L-Arginine weeks ago that was around the same time. Serendipity was pointing…
