and in the middle of my exams!!! and i was blacking out everywhere and stuff and
being sick all over my work!! once one of the teachers had to carry me to the
medical room!!! i just couldn't stand up what so ever!!!!

he said that it was all in my head and that i had an
eating disorder and discharged me from the hospital
when my body was shutting down
my family had him do the test, which they said they
didn't want to and there was no way that's what it
was, even though i was blacking out, lost 20 pounds in
2 weeks, my skin was orange and my blood pressure was
so bad and of coures worse when i tried to walk-
because mostly all i could do was crawl- and only on
special occasions like having to go the bathroom- it
was really hard but god- its unreal how often this
seems to happen to us...you think they'd start to pick
up on it...i mean if i wasn't a text book case...
