Delfina Cedeno,
19, began suffering from the bizarre disorder - which also causes blood
to seep from her fingernails and belly button - four years ago.
As her condition deteriorated, she started crying the red fluid, having nosebleeds and suffering hair loss.
At her worst,
she has bled for up to 15 days and was once left in such a critical
condition that she needed a blood transfusion.
But despite hundreds of tests, doctors in her hometown of Veron, in the Dominican Republic, were left baffled.
She says she
became so ashamed of her condition that she was terrified of leaving the
home she shares with her mother Mariana, 36.
She dropped out of school and many of her friends deserted her out of embarrassment or fear that she was contagious.
Miss Cedeno became so depressed by the ordeal that she even tried to take her own life by overdosing on sedatives.
A few months later she met her boyfriend, Recaris Avila, who paid her a visit in hospital after hearing her story.
She said: 'He said I was beautiful. I will remember that moment for the rest of my life.'
Now, four years after it all began, specialists have finally made a breakthrough.
It is thought
Miss Cedeno suffers with a rare condition called hematidrosis, which
means she has 20 times the level of adrenaline of a normal person.
Miss Cedeno has now been given medication to control her anxiety, which has helped to control the bleeding.dailymail
Delfina and Recaris are now engaged.
"No N5,000 Notes, No Coins Printed" - CBN Governor
Speaking at the 5th Bankers' Committee retreat held in Calabar, Cross River State, Mr. Sanusi addressed the questions of scarcity of lower denomination and increase in the volume of dirty banknotes in the economy.
He said, "As a result of all the noise around N5, 000 notes and coins, that process was stopped. We did not print the new notes. I know some people think we have already printed, but we did not print the new notes and we did not award the contracts for the new notes.
"We have re-ordered banknotes and I think they have started arriving and probably you would have seen some improvements on that by now."
As it was gathered at the retreat, the CBN, Bankers' Committee agreed to deliver "price stability and economic growth in 2014," and assured of promoting efficient and stable economy in Nigeria.
