Marnie-Rae Harvey, a teenager who is unable
leave her home for her daily activities because
she suffers from a rare condition in which bloo
spontaneously seeps from her eye, ears, benea
her tongue and from her scalp, says doctors ar
unable to determine what the cause of her illn
is and have since dubbed her the ''Mystery Gir
Baffled doctors have no idea what is causing t
bleeding, which is steadily getting worse, and
have dubbed her the "Mystery Girl" as they
struggle to come up with a diagnosis.
Until they do, the teenager is forced to stay at
home as the bleeding could start at any time,
must cope with the stigma of her condition wh
means she has lost most of her friends.
Her mother, who is terrified for her daughter s
she has to shake her every morning to check s
is alive said:
Last July, the teenager woke up with blood
seeping out of her eye. She was rushed to
hospital by her terrified family, but doctors cou
do nothing.Soon after, blood started seeping fr
her ears and from under her fingernails.
In the last couple of months the mysterious
bleeding has spread to her scalp and under he
tongue.
Cath said that her daughter had been coughin
up blood and suffering from excruciating
migraines for a couple of years before the
bleeding started, meaning she was often to ill
go to school.
She said:
Cath, who works as a shop assistant in her ho
town of Stoke-on-Trent, said her other daught
Leigh, 25, and her dad have to stay with Marni
during the day as she cannot be left alone.
She added:
Marnie said the worst thing about her conditio
was being unable to leave the house or carry
with her life. She said:
Her mother Cath said she wants to raise
awareness about Marnie's condition. She said:
Marnie has been confirmed she does not have
brain tumour, no blood diseases, no clotting
disorders - but doctors are unable to put their
finger on the cause of her bleeding.
An ultrasound showed her liver, kidneys, womb
ovaries and organs are all functioning perfectly
as well as her ears, eyes, nose and throat. MR
scans, CT scans and multiple blood tests also
showed up normal.
The teen is currently waiting to see a
gynaecologist to determine whether the illness,
which gets worse around her period, is linked t
her uterus
