Can ANYONE tell me what's wrong with me!!!?

I'm borrowing my wife's Yahoo email account to answer your question. WebMD is completely hosed up at present, so I couldn't respond from there. Please take this note to your parents. You need to be seen by a doctor this week, and preferably as early as possible. Some symptoms you have described could be evidence for any of a number of neurological or circulatory problems. Some of those problems can be progressive or even FATAL if left untreated. They include:

Seizure disorder

Transient Ischemic Attack (light strokes - rare in people of your age but still possible)

Benign or malignant brain tumor

Arterio-veinous malformation (AVM)

Distributed calcium deposits or lesions in the brain

Thyroid tumor

Hydrocephalus (elevated CNS fluid pressures)

Micro-vascular compression of the vagus nerve in the area where it emerges from the brain stem.

The list goes on. You will need an update on any MRI imagery that's been done in the past, to look for new features. The update should be done with 1-mm thin-slice techniques, both with and without contrast agent, and with post-procedure 3-D reconstruction. It's costly, but you and your doctor will NEED it to get a clear diagnosis. Other tests may also be needed, including angiogram and blood profiles. If your parents have to take out a second mortgage on their house, then it's time they talked with a bank. The risks to you are that serious.

Feel free to run my last name in a google search. You'll find a lot of material that I've generated as a chronic pain patient advocate for over 15 years. I've corresponded with over 2,000 doctors, family members, or chronic face pain patients during that period. Likewise, you or your parents may visit my personal website at http://www.lawhern.org./

Get moving. It's a bunch better to be safe than sorry.

A) IGNORE the guy who called you a fatty... I'm the same age and height as you and you way much less.(:

B) You actually sound a lot like me... I'm not sure what you left out but here are some symptoms/issues I have.

-I stated taking vitamins since I can't eat too much at a time either I wasn't getting enough vitamins and had a couple vitamin deficiencies. And if I don't take my vitamins for a few days my vision gets blurred. Oh and I scar easily because of one of my vitamin deficiencies.

-Maybe strep throat? I'm a carrier so I get it a lot.

-I also have an immune deficiency, so I'm ALWAYS sick with something.

-I always have headaches that alternate sides. Especially when I'm stressed out, anxious, or really frustrated.

-I have acid reflux too.

As for the numbness in the face maybe it's from a medication? But if it isn't I would get that checked out ASAP.

Maybe if you found a specialist they'd be able to help more so than a regular doctor? I hope you get better.

Whatever it is, it sounds serious. I don't mean to scare you but it does. It doesn't sound at all like a thyroid issue to me, more like a neurological issue. I think some of your symptoms may not have to do with each other. You HAVE to go see a specialist, not just a doctor. I would insist on seeing a neurologist first. Atleast he can elimnate the possibility of a brain tumor. Your heart skipping needs to be checked as well. Usually that is a benign condition but it can be something more serious. If your parents won't listen, get upset and insist until they take you. You don't want something really bad to happen to you because they don't want to be bothered again. Good luck to you.

Tell them its serious and you're scared. When you have the numbness in your face, tell your parents immediately. I don't know what else you can do but you have to talk to a doctor about this. It's possible that it was caused by a certain bug bite. Good luck and get well soon

The numbing of the left side of your body etc sounds like something to do with your heart - i've heard that sort of thing happens with stroke. But stroke would be unusual for someone so young, and for you to be fine after half an hour.

Also, are you sure the "bug bites" are really from bugs?

by the way, i'm only 13 so i dont know anything about this kinda stuff. and if i WAS right then the doctors would already have figured this stuff out. so i dont even know what i'm doing posting here.

i think i'll just stop talking now.

Im so sorry to hear that your having so many symptoms. It sounds like to me that you may have a few different things going on with you. you need to see a different Dr. then maybe have them refer you out to different specialists. I wish I had answers for you, but unfortunately I don't. I hope you find some answers! Maybe anxiety, that's why you feel tie rd and that probably explains your irregular heartbeat. But the heartbeat can mean several things. . . so you may want to ask to get an EKG. done. If you are slightly ADD you probably should take medication for it. Trust me it can help you in many ways! It might help you sleep better and not be so irritable and stuff. Good luck to you! If you have any more questions let me know. . . . My son is 16 and has ADD and had a heart condition but had it takin care of and is now on meds for his ADD.

Well, I don't think that the buds have anything to do with it!! I don't know what to tell you have you had any MRI's? have you had a heart monitor placed for any amount of time? Are you on any different types of medication? if yes, were they all prescribed by the same doctor?

As far as I have been told they are not supposed to say how accurate the sex of the baby is as this can lead to a hospital or doctor being sued. No technician is supposed to say 100% that it's a boy or girl they are only supposed to say 50% chance as the umbilical cord or anything else may not be giving a clear picture on the sex of the baby. I didn't want to know the sex as I just wanted it to be healthy and happy whether it was a boy or girl.

Have you been tested/monitored for epilepsy? The facial seizures sound like they might be related to some form of epilepsy or another serious neurological problem. Here are some resources for Epilepsy:

Have you tried insect repellent for the bug bites? It might give you some relief. You can find it at most grocery/drug stores. For bug bites, check out WebMD: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/insect_bites/articl...

As for your described lack of appetite, 2 cups of food in one sitting is not an abnormal amount to make you feel full. Most people eat more than their body needs in one meal. The human stomach is actually not very large, and doesn't require much more than the amount you describe (for one meal). If you are concerned about your lack of appetite, try eating a small amount of food several times a day. This will give your stomach a chance to digest the food, and will hopefully help reduce that bloated feeling after you eat.

The distaste or discomfort you feel after eating spicy foods are also not abnormal- many people suffer from chronic heartburn and/or acid reflux. You can try over the counter treatments such as Prilosec, ranitidine, or TUMS for heartburn relief. Your doctor can also prescribe higher strength treatment, such as Zantac.

It sounds like a small tumor but in all reality nobody is going to be able to tell if you don't get a CAT scan or diagnosed!

GO to the doctor as soon as you can if it something really serious then one thing could lead to another and things might get worse.

DEMAND to your parents that you be taken to the hospital because it sounds EXTREMELY serious!
