Cara, if you are seriously having trouble breathing you need to call 911 now. You may be having an allergic reaction to something and if you are alone you need to get help in case this gets worse.

Or can you at least call your parents or a neighbor to check on you in a few minutes?

First thing calm down, if you can not breathe or having a hard time breathing and it has come on a sudden, you need medical attention---quick. Is there no one with you?

 

[Cara]

You are asking for medical advice, the advice from everyone is GET TO THE DOCTOR.

Listen to other peoples suggestions when you ask for it. Wake your parents up, no matter what sort of state they are in. If anything they can call an ambulance, they won't have to drive you.

I am guessing you are going through some sort of stress hives/breathing difficulties if nothing has changed. They need to get you on some mild medications to help with that.

And truly you need to talk to a expert in your "life" situations.

I broke out in hives when I combined 2 medications (prescribed by the doctors). I broke out in hives and had difficulty breathing. The ER just gave me a strong dose of benedryl and sent me on my way. I would try a liquid benedryl since it gets in your system faster and get some nice anti-itch cream. If its something you took, then it'll take a least a week to get rid of it out of your body. I remember breaking out in hives when I itched 2 weeks after.

But if you think its something really serious, then call the ER!

Cara, if you are not willing to call 911 you really need someone to help you, do you have friends that you have stayed at their house and know their parents?

Cara,

Do you have an aunt or an uncle or close friend you can call on for help? I think you need somebody right now. I wonder if your shortness of breath could be caused from an anxiety attack. With all the stress you're under, it wouldn't surprise me. I want you to know that life can become better. I tell my kids to get a good education and then a good job doing what they love and they will have life by the seat of their pants! And you can too. Always believe in yourself and keep forging ahead like you've been doing.

so i woke my parents up my dad yelled at me and so did my mom, there sleeping again, i asked a few people if they would take me to the hospital, no reply, my breathing is the same, not good, my arm jsut stings now, so i think im going to stay home and if its bad il go tomrow, also no all my relitives are in bc, and i live in the midle of nowhere

Is there 911 in Canada? If so you pick up the phone and call!

 

[Cara]

ya there is a911 in canada but it also cost money, money that we dont have, if my breathing gets worse i will call i promise

If you are seriously feeling what you are feeling than you should call 911. They have programs that will take care of the bills. I know you are having other issues in your life and I seriously think you need to get some help. The nice ladies on here can only give you advice and they def. can't help you if you are having a true emergency. Get some help even if it means going against what your parents say! They obviously are in no position to be making adult decisions at this time so you have to take the drivers seat.

I sincerely hope there is someone in authority in Ontario reading this board that can get the ball rolling for all the help this child needs in her life. Unbelievable.

 

[Cara]
