hi, sickle cell anemia is the genetic disease, in that your RBCs become sickle shape in deoxygenated stat. and ended with crisis. treatment of choice is Oxygen in that situation. also you should take folic acid regularly to improve your hb. permenent treatment is bone marrow transplantation only. which is very difficult and costly.
you should go with mainatinance therapy and Oxygen as and when required.
