This is just too weird, and I need
feedback asap so I can make the decision
to take or not take this 16 year old boy
to the Dr. I'm not his mom, he's my son's
best friend. I've taken him before, and
his parents went nuts. They NEVER think
he's really sick, as a result, he had mono
for 4 months, and now is considered
chronic. My new concern is that his skin
bleeds. One day, he and his girlfriend
were horsing around, and she sucked on his
back, then screamed as she wiped the blood
from her mouth...yes, HIS blood. At first
she thought it must be hers, but rinsed
her mouth, and it wasn't hers. She wiped
his back, and there was no mark whatso
ever. So of course she did it again on
his shoulder, and sure enough, after a few
seconds, blood ran down his shoulder.
Being totally freaked, they came and
showed me, this time on his forarm. Sure
enough, blood, but no marks. He is a
robust, seemingly healthy boy with plenty
of muscle mass and average weight. He
told his parents, and they said it was no
big deal!! My concern is that the mono,
which went untreated for so long, left
some kind of other condition or permanent
condition. As anyone ever heard of this?
If it could be serious, I'll risk the
wrath of his parents and possible legal
action and take him to our local Med
Center. I did it before, and I'll do it
again if necessary. Thanks for taking the
time to read this rather lengthy post.
