So i've been sick for a very very long time. Increasingly worse everytime I get sick too.

Last summer I got sick twice, I never get sick in the summer. It never went away throughout the summer, only tapered off and then came back. And it continued after the summer, up until now.
Just recently, I got so sick to a point where I was throwing up blood...(About a week ago)
Now i'm sick again and my throat is kinda swollen and really painful...
Whenever i'm not sick, my throat is swollen usually. But no pain...just slight discomfort if touched...

But I can't afford to go to a doctor and deal with this. No medical insurance.
I can't even tell my Dad when i'm sick because he gets all freaked out and says if he gets sick i'm in big trouble because "it'll kill him"
I'm just really kinda scared sad I am pretty sure it's probably something serious...

Sometimes hospitals have free clinics you can go to. See what clinics are in your area.
I hope you're alright. ):

If I wanted to drive 2 hours I could find a clinic that would reject me because I don't live in the area.
But that's all.

Try calling up a local doctor's office and explain your situation. Don't talk to a nurse though, talk to a doctor. See if he can help you out.

doctor's offices usually offer payment plans that you can pay off their services. I didn't have medical insurance when I started going to my doctors office during my pregnancy and they let me pay off the bill in a month by month account.

I had to go to the hospital for a really nasty ear infection. All I had to do is when I got my first bill, I had to call the number on the back and set up a monthly payment system.

Hemoptysis?

Swollen lymph node?

Webmd your symptoms and try to pinpoint possible illnesses, then find a doctor and have more for them to go by, less expense if they have an idea of what the issue is, rather then doing tests to find out.

I'd either call a doctor as Crescendo suggested or go to the ER and explain the situation.
Feel better D:!
