Harvey, 17, is unable to leave her home because blood can start
spontaneously bleeding from her eye, ears, beneath her tongue and from
her scalp at any moment. This is her everyday life. Her mother says she
has to shake her every morning to check she is alive.
Doctors
have no idea what is causing the bleeding as they struggle to come up
with a diagnosis. In July, 2015, she woke up with blood seeping out of
her eye. She was rushed to hospital but doctors could do nothing.
Soon
after, blood started seeping from her ears and from under her
fingernails. In the last couple of months the mysterious bleeding has
spread to her scalp and under her tongue.
Her
mum said she had been coughing up blood and suffering from excruciating
migraines for a couple of years before the bleeding started.
There
have been a couple of reports of people bleeding from their eyes,
including a man from Tennessee who was diagnosed with a condition called
haemolacria, but none involve bleeding from other orifices.
The
family from Stoke-on-Trent is a city in Staffordshire, England, are
sharing their story in the hope someone somewhere has heard of the
condition and could help them.
