One For Sqad
5 Answers
Sqad - my 19 year old girl is out in Israel at the moment on a gap programme.
She says that she is having issues with multiple vomits and nose bleeds, periods of high fever and then going hot and cold, some blood from the anus and has fainted a number of times. Is there anything/options of what it could be that you could put your finger on. She's been to hospital a few times but they're not being that forthcoming....IBS for example?
Thanks.....

Not keen on your diagnosis of IBS.
Her nose bleeds are secondary to whatever is causing her high temps and periods of hot an cold.
It sounds very much, for a 19year old.....a urinary tract infection. Has she any water works problems.?
Blood from the anus is no big deal in the overall picture, UNLESS she has diarrhea.
Bed, plenty to drink, Ibuprofen and I await further reports.

A follow up, Sqad, as my daughter is with me now and it's been possible to get at what has been going on.
1. She was in a car accident when a drunk side-swiped them, she the passenger....didn't go to hospital (idiot bus issues with her mother....) and I think she has twisted a verterbra mid-back and that's causing issues - she's seeing a doc at the practice I use and my sis is 'volunteering' two or three sessions with her chiro.
2. The 'UTI' - has had a very nasty rash from her thighs down - abating now but she described it as wanting to amputate her legs (allow for a 19 year old's exaggeration) - didn't make the torso or the genitals though. Photo as attached http://
Associated with it, still some coughing of blood, weight losss (10 pounds) and occasional hot flush (103F max)
Additional info though, she was working alongside the Nat Guard in Houston during the hurricane and was up to her thighs in water. I have asked about snake bites (no), but I am wondering if she has been 'bitten' by something (insect etc) and a lot of this stems back to this - the timing being that the kick-off was around Hurricane Harvey.
3. She also is slightly lactose intolerant - and I'm am wondering if she's eating some unpastuerised cheeses/butter etc in Israel and this has been exacerbated by the above situation in that the body defences have been 'weakened'.
Grateful as always for your thoughts - I have a appt for her next Wednesday. My best dtc
