We were watching her do a routine, and all of the sudden she felt really sick, went to the bathroom and starting throwing up the problem is that blood came out with the vomit, is it something really bad? she is 17

It depends on the color and amount of blood in the vomit.  If it is darker in color, like coffee, then it is most likely from an ulcer in her stomach.  If it is bright red, it is from higher up, possibly from the throat.  If she is bulemic, it could be a serious problem.  When a person vomits purposly, you get stomach acid to come up as well, which eats away at everything it passes over.  If it is done constantly, the body doesn't have time to repair the damaged area, thus causing the blood.  \n\nEither way, it is not a good thing.  Your friend should go to the hospital to have it checked out.  It could be nothing, but I wouldn't want to bet a life on it.

Contact you doctor as soon a possible!!!  If this behavior is out of character for her then something may be disturbed without causing a fever. \nIt's always better to be on the safe side... rather than the sorry!!!

honestly, when you have a period....you only actually lose about a tablespoon of blood total.  it only looks like more because of tissue and water being dispelled also.  now if you are losing enough to be changing sanitary pads more than every 4 hrs...then yes that is excesive....she needs to go see a doc.  it could be a sign of many things wrong.

There could be a whole lot of things here. The shaking and diarrhea are especially troubling. If this happens a lot, you could have some liver damage. Go to the doctor and get some blood tests, etc.. Get a check up and talk to him about your ailments. If you are drinking too much, at least admit it to yourself, and get some help - that is 99% of the battle. Sounds to me like you have a good friend here, so don't blow one of your few "second" chances here by not listening. A true friend helps even when it isn't pleasant to do so, so count her a good friend and let her help you out of these problems. You have to be the one to Respond to treatment and Accept the help, and then DO something. You are not acting normally, so get with the recovery already.

It's bad. She needs help. Tell an adult you trust. \n\nhttp://www.palace.net/~llama/psych/injury.html\n\nMaybe this site will explain things to you a bit better. Help her before it's too late.

Hey, accidents happen and kids will be kids.  My two-year old gets into everything as well.\n\nJust keep an eye on her for the next three days.  If she starts showing symptoms, then go to the doctor/ER.\n\nDon't worry, she will probably be OK.\n\nFrom Yahoo! Health:\n"Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. They develop 12 to 72 hours after infection, and the illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days. Most people recover without treatment. However, diarrhea and dehydration may be so severe that it is necessary to go to the hospital. Older adults, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are at highest risk."

Please read this all the way through, my heart is with you. I have two boys 10 and 6 that did the same thing (flushing). Charging 10 cents every time I found the bowl full stopped my problem. But your daughter seems like she has hit rebellion already. My 6 year old became very sore and he learned his lesson at 4 about wiping. But with your daughter "dirty down there" is not going to work. She's 10 not 4, don't patronize her, think back to when you were 10. Let's face it we were all picking up info from friends about sex. You 3 parents have to get together as a group and realize she is not a child she is a young lady/woman. Lectures and threats are not going to work anymore. She needs to start making her own decisions, educated decisions. Talk to a gynecologist get facts about what could happen if she doesn't clean up her act. Pictures if necessary, of what these diseases can do to her body. She could pick up staf infection just to name one, and wind up in the hospital. (My husband being a fire fighter had a call at one time about a woman with an upset stomach. She wasn't a wiper either her whole body smelt of crap. When they got her to the hospital because no one wanted to check between her legs (which was where the real discomfort was) they found her vagina was infested, stuffed with maggots.)Please do everything in your power to educate her in a way that will help her to help herself make the right choices. Also is she happy with herself, looks, school, and friends. These are all very important to her right now. If she doesn't have it yet soon she will be starting her cycle. You think you have problems now, wait. This is the summer of change for your family. Make it that way, help her, she needs you all just to hear her, and realize she is not a little girl, or even a big girl, she is a young lady/woman. A new hair style, a light colored eyeshadow if not wearing makeup, a few new clothes, you might want to rethink the panty thing. Is she wearing panties that make her feel like a young lady/woman, or is she wearing widebottomed, widesided diaperwear. Help her to feel different about herself. Chin up, no one ever said this parent thing was easy, but think of the good times, keep an open mind, and email me if you need to. We have all been there in one way or another.

Welcome to pre-teen angst. Just bear with her, I know its hard, but her body is changing so fast right now she probably doesn't even realize how terrible is being. Discuss her weight gain with her doc, there might be something they can adjust to help that. Counselling isn't a bad idea, but you should go too, it helps if there is someone else YOU can complain to about her attitude instead of her. She probably feels defensive after you confront her about her actions. Make sure you have "safe zones" from each other where you can both go and get away from each other, it helps.

I am very sincere when I come to you with this answer.  It's sounds to me that her body is taxed. Our bodies are machines and with too much stress our body starts to break down and show signs of wear like nausea, stomach upsets, headaches is a big one.  Couple that with the fact that she is taking various drugs. Drugs are foreign bodies. Our systems are often tolerant of them but it doesn't mean they always are. Our bodies are designed to fight foreign bodies. A cold is foreign body so think of how you feel when you have a cold or a virus like the flu. Your body fights and you FEEL that fight to eliminate the foreign body. Drugs though designed to help are still a foreign body. It may be that her body is worn down by various things and is surfacing in the form of nausea. I feel that you actually answered your own question. Re-read what you wrote. She's got a lot going on.  We love our daughters so much don't we. We just want to help them. If it were my daughter I would focus on some healing and maybe backing off some of the drugs when she is able.  Find ways for her to become healthy again both mentally and physically. Take walks together. Tell her some more how much you love her. I know you must love her alot or we wouldn't be talking right now. The poor thing, if she is taking Zoloft then she struggles with depression right. If she's taking Methadone for pain and an addiction I would say she has a WHOLE lot on her plate right now. Just love her, love her and love her some more. Only she can pull herself out of this but you can most certainly stand right by her side and fight the fight WITH her.  Good luck to you both!

She could be dehydrated. You should ask your Dr. also re. symptoms of Diabetes, such as a fruity smell to the breath, increased urination , can't recall the rest. Are there control issues at your house? I only ask because an environment where things are either out of control or one or more people are tending to over-control, that is a perfect set-up for eating disorders. Food & it's consumption ( or lack thereof) becomes the one thing the child can have some control over. You'd better seriously lookinto this with someone with expertise in this field, be safe.

What he/she said. Ask your doctor for advice on the right thing to do. My Mom is a nurse and I will ask her for you when she gets home! :) \n   (I'll just click "Edit message" and rewrite my whole answer. She will know for sure!)\n\n   But until then, Have a nice day and remember to drink lots of fluids to help you get better. WATER AND SPECIAL DRINKS ONLY!

It sounds like a virus that seems to go away,but instead lays dormant for a few days. There's not much that can be done for this except plenty of bed rest and fluids. During the times that she's not feeling unwell,make sure she's still taking it easy so as not to weaken her immune system.\n\nJust saw your daughter's age-I'd get her straight to the doctor's,there is a real danger of her becoming dehydrated. Does she also have a high temperature? Keep a check on this and sponge her down from time to time with cool water. She may also have a food intolerance,such as dairy-so tell the doctor you want her checked for this. Don't ask-TELL. You know your daughter better than anybody.

Take her to the pediatrician ASAP. This could indicate a serious endochrine problem.
