My boyfriend is already a catastrophe.
He was born 4 months younger than he was supposed to.
He has asthma, he's skinny and weak and a triplet.
He's had problems a lot, and he's a genious.
He's been having nose bleeds everyday…but it's not just a nosebleed.
He gets dizzy, his head hurts, and usually he can barely stand up and he almost faints. It's really scary actually.
So there are times when there's blood pouring out of is nose [and sometimes mouth].
He dad thinks it's "just" a nose bleed and he won't get him checked out. [He has this ideal about how men are never sick and if they are, they're not men.]
I've had a father who died in cancer.
He was bleeding too. People with leukemia nleed too sometimes to my knowledge.
Other things my boyfriend told me he's been experiencing:
headaches, his eyeball hurts, his neck hurts, weakness, tiredness.
Please help me or give me a website where I can research because Google won't help at all.
Thanks a lot.|||Wow !!! Your boyfriend's dad needs to rethink his attitude a bit, wot a meany !!
Please don't stress about this, I would say that his nose bleeds are due to insufficient Vitamin C in his diet??? His dizziness, headaches, migraines, inability to balance are all due to Vitamin B12 deficiency !! Really, truly, check and see if he's been eating properly.
Foods rich in Vitamin C are:
Citrus fruits, berries, green and leafy vegies, tomatoes, cantaloupe, cauliflower, potatoes and green and red peppers.
As well as increasing his intake of vitamin C rich foods I suggest he takes a good quality Vitamin Supplement. You can get Berocca in OZ which is combined with Vitamin C and B vitamins. You know the big orange tablets that you drop into a glass of water and drink when they have finished fizzing?? That's them.
The best vitamin C supplement is one that contains the complete C complex of bioflavonoids, hesperidin and rutin. (Sometimes these are labeled citrus salts.) The white pith underneath the skin of citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, tangerines is where the bioflavonoids, hesperidin and rutin lie. These simply increase the healing properites of the Vitamin C making it more effective.
Daily doses most often used are 500mg to 4g. Rose hips vitamin C contains bioflavonoids and other enzymes that help C assimilate. You can get Rose Hips tea bags from any major supermarket or health food store and it is really yummy!!
Rose hips vitamin C are actually the riches natural source of Vitamin C. (The C is actually manufactured under the bud of the rose - called a hip.)
As far as the B12 vitamin deficiency goes, I agree with you, it can be totally terrifying if you don't realise that it is simply a vitamin deficiency.
Has he been under extra stress lately? Most likely by the sounds of it. You need to get him to increase his intake of foods rich in this vitamin, ie: yest, liver, eggs, milk, cheese and fish, kidney and pork. The B group of vitamins - B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 are a water soluble group of vitamins. Therefore, the body can neither produce or store these vitamins. It is very important to supply your body with foods rich in all these vitamins on a daily basis or suffer from a myriad of ailments, as you have detailed. In stressfull situations, we need to increase our intake of the B vitamin complex as our bodies will use more.
I suggest you get him a good quality multi B complex supplement (tablets) from the chemist. Just ask the pharmacist to recommend a good quality one for you to buy. Don't buy them individually as they work best synergistically (as a group). Don't buy synthetic vitamins as they are very hard to digest. (They're the real cheap and nasty ones.) Expect to pay about $25.00 AUD for about a month's supply.
Recommended daily intake for adults is 2mcg. For B12 to be properly assimilated through the stomach it is necessary to be combined with calcium during absorption to adequately benefit the body. Simply drink with milk/milk substitute such as soymilk, rice milk or goats milk.
B12 vitamins will alleviate any chest pains and palpitations he may be having. It will also increase his energy levels, maintain a healthy nervous system, relieve moodiness and irritability, ease depression, fatigue and exhaustion and improve concentration, memory and balance. Any nausea and aches and pains should also disappear.
Does he also have sore lips, mouth and tongue, cracked and splitting skin around his fingernails and grainy and sandy feeling eyes? If so, this is also a vitamin B deficiency, vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). Thsi vitamin will be included in the Multi B complex supplement that you buy. The recommended daily intake for adults for this vitamin is 1.2 - 1.7mg.
Foods rich in B2 are milk, liver, kidney, cheese, leafy green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.
If he is a vegetarian and has excluded eggs and dairy products from his diet, then he needs vitamin B supplementation (all the vitamins in the B group in one tab). if he keeps regular "Happy Hours" and drinks a lot once again, the B group of vitamins needs to be taken as a supplement.
If you choose to follow my advice you'll be very pleased you did as you will get relese from your symptoms within a day or so. In actual fact, you should get some degree of almost immediate improvement.
Oops, nearly forgot, if he's got sore eyes ask him if they are really sensitive to daylight/bright lights??? Or that he has trouble seeing clearly enough at nightime, then this is a Vitamin A deficiency.
Best natural sources for Vitamin A are fish liver oil which can be simply bought in capsules, carrotts, dark green and yellow vegies, eggs, milk and dairy products, and yellow fruits. The color intensity of a fruit or vegetable is not necessarily a reliable indicator of its beta-carotene content (Vit.A).
Gee, I'm so glad you came on line with all of these symptoms and that could help you out. I hope you decide to follow my excellent advice for he will certainly get almost immediate relief if you do. Perhaps instead of getting a multi B complex supplement you could just go get him a really good quality multivitamin for boys/men, making sure you tell the pharmacist his age group. The choice is yours. Please try to get him to pay attention to his food intake !! We only get one body and one chance, at least make your bodies a nice place for you to live………. afterall, you're the only one that has to live there !!
PEACE & LIGHT & GOOD HEALTH 2 U BOTH

PEACE & LIGHT Report It
|||Your boyfriend's dad sounds like a real winner…..
Alright, let's move on.
Ok, your boyfriend is NOT a catastrophe. He's not. I know people who were born with bad feet, allergies, small bladders, the list goes on. But as long as your boyfriend has all of his parts, who cares about the other stuff-it's just bothersome $hit. There's medication, weight-gain products, and free weights.
The mouth bleeding concerns me, but you know, the mouth and nose are connected, so it could just be overrun, gross as that is.
Where is your boyfriend's mother?? Can/will she take him to the doctor?? If there's one in your city, he could take himself to the free clinic. Google "Free Clinic in <your City>, <your State>" and see what comes up for your city and state.
Here are some websites, I hope they help:

Is there any hope?
