Okay, I have been sick for almost a week now, I have really bad diarrhea and I can't keep any food down! Everytime I eat it comes up, I even took three bites of a yogurt and it came up. My mom refuses to take me to the doctor and I am starting to feel weak. i usually get dehydrated really easily and now when i drink it doesnt stay down either. My mom keeps an attitude towards me when i tell her what is going on and she says she cant afford to take me to the doctor, WHAT DO I DO?
PinkLady4863 answered Monday December 20 2004, 5:14 pm: you need to sit down and calmly tell your mother, you don't just have the flu, you are seriously sick. you need to tell her that you are dehydrated and beginning to feel extremely weak. (exagerate if u need 2) tell her that a simple dehydration could easily lead to death and other serious illnesses. explain that if you don't see someone, you may die or be internally harmed! just ask her if your life is worht the money. She will most likely brush it off, but dnt let her, tell her it is serious!
get well soon,

If she still refuses have a relative take you or a close friend's mom. If you don't want to go to the extreme try pepto bismol or an upset stomach medication. Hope i helped :)xoJacxo [ ixjacquixi's advice column | Ask ixjacquixi A Question ]

Get a friend or their mom to take you, or maybe you're aunt,uncle, or grandma! jus get someone who will be willing to spend that 20 bucks and give you a ride to the doctors. as for your mom, tell her youre not asking her, you need her to bring you. if she still won't its time to find someone who will.
hope you feel better i'll pray for you- get better and have a merry christmas **muah** luv britt [ XxbrittanyxX's advice column | Ask XxbrittanyxX A Question ]

lilangl1113 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 11:14 pm: Tell her you NEED to go to the doctors it's not a question. Your health is really important, and money should NOT be an issue when it comes to your health. No matter what you should be important enough to take care of. You do sound really sick. I hope you'll get better, and I'll pray for you. [ lilangl1113's advice column | Ask lilangl1113 A Question ]
icey0990 answered Sunday December 19 2004, 9:58 pm: Im really sorry you cant afford it. Its sad, but in an emergency, many people who cant afford medical care go to the ER for help. Tell your mom to take you there...
If that doesnt work calling sounds like a good idea. But really..MAKE her take u..this is serious! I go to school with the doctors daughter..do you kno the docs kids? Maybe they can help u out..or try the school nurse..try everything!
