Delfina Cedeno, 19, began suffering from the bizarre disorder - which also causes blood to seep from her fingernails and belly button - four years ago.
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.
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.
Miss Cedeno became so depressed by the ordeal that she even tried to take her own life by overdosing on sedatives.
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 level of adrenaline of a normal person.
Miss Cedeno has now been given medication to control her anxiety, which has helped to control the bleeding.dailymail
Delfina and Recaris are now engaged.
Saw it 2days ago,was like oh lord have mercy,tnk God the doctors are making progress.and to show how God is merciful she got a boyfriend who is standing by her.

Hematidrosis is extremely rare, the main trigger of such an ailment is extreme stress and anxiety; same thing JESUS CHRIST experienced about 12 hours to HIS crucifixion. It weakens the skin when it occurs...
ReplyDelete*Imagine the state of the weakened skin of our LORD as he was lashed repeatedly.
Thank GOD there's a breakthrough for miss Cedeno.
eeeyah, I pray God heals her!
ReplyDeleteGod is mercilful! Thank you Jesus for my life.
ReplyDeleteS/O to All of you girls sending stupid mails to Stella to ask for relationship advice to remind yourselves if a guy loves you or not or if you should stay or leave. can you see?? Can you see true love??? Some of you, even with easily treatable illnesses like appendixities, your boyfriends will abandon you. if you people like, dont learn from people's experiences continue asking questions when you already have the answers.
Thank God they r making progress on her health issues
