Teen cries blood [could be graphic for some]
ROCKWOOD (WATE) -- A Rockwood teen is dealing with a medical mystery. Without warning, he cries blood. Now, his family is making a desperate plea for help.
Much of the time, Calvino Inman seems like any other 15-year-old boy. But then, without warning, he says his eyes start bleeding. He says it happens at least three times a day, and can last from a few minutes to up to an hour. "Sometimes, I can feel it coming up, like a tear. I feel my eyes watering," he says. "Sometimes, it will burn as it comes out." "I've been called possessed by almost all of my friends. I guess I'm used to it now. At first, it kind of hurt my feelings," Inman says. "The scariest thing in my life is when he looked at me and said 'Mom, am I going to die?' That right there broke my heart," says his mother, Tammy Mynatt. She's taken her son to several specialists, but still has no diagnosis and no treatment. "Every doctor tells us they've never seen anything like this before in all their many years of being a doctor," Mynatt says. Now, his mother says she's running out of hope. "More than anything, I just truly want somebody to say they've seen this and they can help us. I don't care where we have to travel. I will go wherever we need to go. I will do whatever I have to do. I just please want somebody to help my baby. That's all," Mynatt says. VIDEO: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/...ies.blood.wate |

Oddly enough, this happens to me sometimes.
Mine is due to a low platelet count. I have spontaneous nosebleeds, bleeding gums, and blood comes out of my eyes. I wonder if he's been tested for ITP. |

Could it be that the blood vessles are somehow mixed up with his tear "lines" or something? Bkz, if you think about it- dark circles UNDER the eyes are popped blood vessles that leave "bruise stains" which make it look like dark circles... so could this be the case internally as well? around his eyes? hmmm...

I hope they find out what the cause of this is. Poor kid, I feel so bad for him.
When I first clicked on this thread I immediately thought of the scenes from True Blood. |

oh that poor kid....my heart just broke watching that and hearing the moms plea for someone to help him. I couldn't imagine having anything be wrong with my children and doctors not being able to help. What a helpless feeling.....I really hope he gets some help or a diagnosis.
