What is wrong with my friend? Weird medical issue?
Question:
What do you think it is?
Answers:
she needs to go to the doctors. it's hard to tell, those symptons are very normal in any case of illness. it ranges from being poisoned to cancer.
is there not a walk in clinic she can go to with you being there for her
Get to the emergency room. Do you know that if something is seriously wrong with her that her father can get in a LOT of trouble with the government for not seeking proper medical care for his child?
They HAVE to treat her at the emergency room, and they'll work with you on how to pay it out.
With only these symptoms being given, it could be anything from simple stomach problems to a blockage, to cancer!
The ONLY way to know is to get to the ER.
If she's with you, and she's hurting really bad, and her father refuses to take her, talk to your parents, and take her yourself.
He can get in SOOOOOO much trouble for not getting her to the doctor (I'm talking prison honey..).
There are programs for kids exactly like her.
She NEEDS to be on a state insurance for low income families. She can get EVERYTHING taken care of untill she's 18. (In OK, if you're in school, you can get it till 21)
Even more serious than whatever her problem may be is the fact that her FATHER refuses to seek medical care, which can not only result in prison time for him, but if it's something serious, she could be put into state custody.
Like I said, if it gets to the point that she's stopped eating, or if she's in unbearable pain, CARRY HER if you have to, but GET HER SEEN. ASAP!
In the meantime, try suggesting things like ibuprofin or a heating pad for the pain, and try mylanta, pepto-bismol, rolaids and tums. Try them all until you find something that works.
Not having insurance is absolutly NO EXCUSE for a father not getting treatment for his sick daughter. I am personally appalled that someone would even CONSIDER not seeking help for a child simply because of lack of insurance.
Especially for THREE MONTHS!!
Sorry if I seem overly angry, but my best friend had the same problem with her mother, and she nearly died because it turned out she had a burst appendix.
Try a site called wrongdiagnosis.com and research her symptoms there and on google.
Good luck to her, and I'll be praying for her, and that her father pulls his head out of his butt.

maybe food poisenning.
see a doctor immediatly, because to me it sounds serous!
There are a million questions to be asked...has she had her period...are they stronger than normal...how old is she...the list is endless...
The is undoubtedly a free clinic in the area for her to go to...take her there...ride the bus...do whatever you have to...she needs medical care.
If she is sexually active there could be an STD or a pregnancy (yes, even if she is still having a monthly cycle).
A doctor needs to evaluate her and she needs to be ready to answer many questions...even the secret ones!
