I'm a thirteen year old female, with chronic abdominal pain that has been coming on and off since i was born. Doctors could never determine what was wrong, so they just labeled it irritable bowl syndrome, but recently i was in the hospital for about a week.
Before, I spiraled into trouble for about a month, of feeling continuously nauseous, tired, and on and off extreme abdominal pain. Soon it came to the point where I could not stand up for more than 3 seconds without falling to the ground in complete exhaustion and nausea. Then i would have to lay there for about ten minutes to not pass out, where i would hear an intense sizzly sound in my ears, like listening to bacon sizzle. My skin become paper white pale, and I lost 5-10 pounds. I went to the hospital, where they tested my hemoglobin to be about 5.4 and dropping. They gave me two blood transfusions to get it up to about a 10 or 11. I have iron deficiency anemia. Though, originally when we went in, they told us it was from a dramatic loss of 3-4, if not more, cups of blood in about a month or less. They told us the only logical explanation was I had internal bleeding. Though i had every standard test, and more, they did not find anything. Some say its chrones, but i don't have diarrhea.
Soon not getting much more information, they seemed to have given up. So now i have to live the rest of my life on iron pills and an abnormally healthy diet, which even then, doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
I've been out of the hospital for months now, but I'm spiraling into the same troubles. My hemoglobin is going down, at about a 9 or 10 right now.
I'm thirteen, female, roughly 4'11, and 100-105 pounds.
Symptoms:
nausea
tiredness
weight gain-loss
extreme abdominal pain every now and then
low hemoglobin
sizzling in ears
