UNBELIEVABLE Meet the Teenager Who Cries and Sweats Blood Photos



About four years ago a 19- year-old teenager, Delfina Cedeno, began suffering from an awful disorder, which makes her cry and sweat blood. In addition to it, in some cases blood may also seep from her fingernails and belly button.

As her condition
deteriorated, she started
crying the red fluid, having
nosebleeds and suffering
hair loss. At her worst, she has bled
for up to 15 days and was
once left in such a critical
condition that she needed
a blood transfusion. But despite hundreds of tests,
doctors in her hometown of
Veron, in the Dominican Republic, were left baffled.


Miss Cedeno said: ‘When this
started happening to me I didn’t know what to think -
I was terrified and in
complete shock. She says she became so
ashamed of her condition
that she was terrified of
leaving the home she shares
with her mother Mariana,
36. She dropped out of school
and many of her friends
deserted her out of
embarrassment or fear that
she was contagious. ‘I’d gone into cardiac arrest and they had to give me electric shocks. There
was a chance I might have
lost the use of my limbs. ‘But amazingly I recovered.
And now I’m really glad
because after that my life
started to get better.’ A few months later she met
her boyfriend, Recaris Avila,
who paid her a visit in
hospital after hearing her
story.
She said: ‘He said I was beautiful. I will remember that moment for the rest of
my life.’ Now, four years after it all
began, specialists have
finally made a breakthrough. It is thought Miss Cedeno
suffers with a rare
condition, called
hematidrosis, which means
she has 20 times the
adrenaline levels of a normal person

The anxiety attacks it causes makes her blood pressure rise so
severely that she sweats -
and this sweat comes out of
her body as blood. The condition is extremely
rare. According to a study published in the Indian Journal of
Dermatology, the
manyblood vessels which
surround the sweat gland
constrict, or narrow, under
the pressure of stress - See more at: http://gistking.com/2014/12/23/unbelievable-meet-the-teenager-who-cries-and-sweats-blood-photos/#sthash.X4NGXnCy.dpuf
