Hi I’m 16 and female and have circulation problems. First some background information
when i was 8, my appendix became inflamed while traveling to mexico. It burst and I didn’t get any vital medical attention, so all those little burst particles started rotting out my entire abdomen for the next10-14 days.
I eventually got help and was left with 2 stomas (removed several months later) and all of these other issues. I had pneumonia, a hernia, bowel obstruction, and I don’t even know what else.
 
Anyways, problems with my bowel movement have persisted my entire life, usually problems with diarrhea, never issues with barfing.
 
Beginning at age 11-12 my left pinky toe would become swollen, strangely colored, numb, but also hurt a lot. After a while, my doctor became concerned and noted circulation problems throughout my foot. I had EKG or ECG to show that there was no necrosis and my nervous system was fine. I was just told to deal with my problems, wear socks, and all that.
 
A couple years later I was tested for lupus, anemia, thyroid disorders, and more- as I was visiting a psychologist who, for diagnosis, needs to eliminate those factors. Results from all tests typical from blood sample were negative.
 
Now, almost a year after that, I’ve been having circulation problems.
I became sick over spring and from that, got an ear infection. And somewhere around this time my circulation got worse. I visited the doctor’s after feeling better, and they were concerned about my pulse and blood pressure because I was feeling kind of dizzy. I needed to get back to school, so they couldn’t do anything.
 
That evening, I had back pains. After lying in bed I started feeling weird lumps in my lower abdominal, on the left side (where I usually don’t have problems because it wasn’t so affected during operations). I took a shower and noticed my stomach was bloated, but the bloats would move in waves.  Those “lumps” in my lower abdomen slowly moved. If I leaned towards a lump, it would be hard to stand back straight up. There was a lot of what seemed like pressure “in between” my rib cage. This lead to me having trouble breathing, shallow breaths seemed “deep,” and I started hyperventilating.
 
I got out of the shower, and tried making it to my bed with difficulties walking. I lied on my stomach and tried to fall asleep. I eventually did, but in the morning I began throwing up clear substances.
 
Since then for the past month, I often barf in the morning or feel as if I will. I have had little appetite. When I stand up for more than a few minutes my knees and joints turn purple. In the shower my legs look completely bruised all over, and are nearly black at the knees. I’m usually a little “out of it”—I’m now used to feeling lightheaded on a regular basis. I have a dry mouth and have a lot of cravings for liquids.  My pulse stays around 110. And by now that pinky toe basically has a lot of dead tissue on it. I noticed a lot of blood problems have joint issues too, so Id thought I’d mention I haven’t been able to straighten my elbows since I was 12, there’s like a calcification
 
So yeah, I’ve been to the doctor’s, only advice I’ve gotten so far is to elevate my legs. I know I can’t get a diagnosis through the internet, but there are countless issues circulation problems could be from, and I’d like help narrowing them down. Also any vocabulary I should use upon my next visit, or things I should go further into detail about (I haven’t always visited this doc)…?

Sometimes my stomach hurts constantly for no reason at all and usually it’s because of my period or fod poisoning or something. But whenever I try to feel better it just gets worse. So how can I calm it down or relieve it without medicine?

I was just wondering because I woke up at 2 am feeling like I have major heartbearn but in my belly and my stomach hurt really bad. I realized after I ate I felt a little better. Has this happned to anyone else? I thought for a little bit it was just pregnancy pain?

I’m 16 years old, i have really really bad acid reflux and need to know how to get rid of it.
I sort of throw up alot, NOT cause of a disorder, I just have a weak stomach. I havent slept in over a week, and I mean literally a week. No naps or anything.

Its hurting really bad. Do you have any suggestions?

This meditation focuses on converting our worries, fears, frustrations and stresses into positive and nurturing energy. Negative words, actions & feelings from ourselves accumulate in our bodies. These non-beneficial energies cause fatigue, depression, anxiety, physical & mental illness, constipation/diarrhea, headaches, back pain, disease and discomfort of all kinds. They have fused with our being – with our mind & flesh. It is extremely difficult to ignore or dissect these parts of ourselves so we must transmute this energy – convert it to something that heals us not hurts us.
