Oklahoma: FReeper trussell's daughter Crystal has some urgent medical care needs that sound like a blood issue from the discriptions. She does not qualify for Sooner health care.
Your information or knowledge of where she can take her for medical care is needed. FREEP MAIL trussell if you have the knowledge of the information she can use.
You who live in Oklahoma, you know your health system, CAN you provide the information she needs?
FREEP MAIL trussell
She would also appreciate your prayers for her daughter Crystal.

You just had to respond to that.
I’d consider environmental sources, too.
Also, a detailed log of all food and activities is important.
And as you mention, it may take some time for the cause and effect. Often, we expect quick and immediate results.
Bottom line: a diagnosis is very important which means tests.
Leukemia, anemia and several other conditions... and just did the “spit test” for Candidas this morning. Does anyone know anything about that? It appears she flunked the test...she shows positive for Candidas.
There is a test for it. And paying attention to diet might yield some clues.
I wish I could offer you more than prayers. God bless Crystal.
It’s a severe yeast infection. It will attack the digestive system first. Steroids are required but make sure the appendix is not leaking. It will be dire pain and kill.
Prayers lifted.
Easy bruising, fatigue, muscle pain and nausea are symptoms of Scurvy, which might be caused by lack of stomach acid. Lack of stomach acid causes many nutrient deficiencies. It is treated by taking cheap over-the-counter Betaine (hydrochloric acid). Scurvy itself is treated with vitamin C, of course, but betaine deficiency is more likely to be the underlying cause. This would also explain the tummy trouble.
I would call into Dr. Bob Marshall's Healthline radio show. The show is recorded Monday thru Saturday, and he answers questions like this. He often recommends betaine because deficiency is common.
The immune system is overactive and will cause attack on normally regular cells. Get her to a hospital.
Let your friend know that an appendix removal may be required. How long has this been going on, if more than 2 weeks it will require at least 4 days of recovery.
Prayers going up.
Get her to the best pediatrician around ASAP.
Dr. Bob Marshall’s staff answers health and nutrition questions on Saturdays from 10 AM to 7 PM (800-370-3447). If you want to talk to the main guy, you probably have to call into the radio show.
I didn’t mean any harm. My daughter used Urgent care when her and her husband were between jobs...they were not very expensive here.
Did this come on suddenly?
How long has she had symptoms?
Lots of diseases cause these symptoms, so it really does no good to treat for what you are not sure you have. You only mask the real health issue.
I had to be off all my vit/mins for 2 weeks for a simple platelet test.
Full blood work up is needed. Each one to rule out, each of a dozen different diseases it could be.
It would be Medicaid, as it is a child issue. Each state has it’s own rules.
Medicare is for us old geezers.
Because we know they take all children regardless of circumstances. And they simply are the BEST! Children come from all over the world to go to St. Jude’s here in Memphis.

FReepers can always find the answers. Sometimes you just have to know how to ‘search’.
More good resources.
GOOD FOR YOU! I knew that the people of FR would be able to help.
