My sister has had bad health problems and the doctors don't know what it is...?

Ok, she's felt like this since she was a kid but it's been getting worse over the years, especially this year. She was suppose to have a doctor's appointment for a consultation this December but they moved it to March but she's reeeally bad and I want to figure this out soon. Here are some of the symptoms and facts about her:

THE PAIN:

She has pain 24/7

On a scale of 1-10 the pain is usually a 4 but can get up to 9 or 10 at times

The pain is mainly/usually in her head and stomach area

The pain in her head is concentrated mainly on the right side of her head in the area above her ear

The pain in her stomach area is all across the stomach area reaching up towards the rib cage

Sometimes the pain in the stomach will be deep reaching towards her spin

At times, her whole body will ache

RANDOM:

She gets very cold easily, mostly when she's outside

She shakes really bad when she's cold

Will shake sometimes even when she's not cold

Weighs around 110 (used to weigh up to 118 but lost weight due to lack of eating because of the pain she receives from eating and from fact that food seems not to be staying in her body even when she does eat)

Cannot gain much weight

Pain keeps her up at night and therefore she only gets roughly 5 hours of sleep per night, if that

She has low blood pressure

She is taking medicine right now for anti-depressant, IBS, as well as taking Vitamin C

She works about 13-15 hours a week and this past semester she was also taking 9 classes in school, but she doesn't start the school semester again until the end of January

Has irregular bowel movements, meaning that she doesn't go to the bathroom often

Sometimes she won't even go to the bathroom once in day

When she does go to the bathroom it is usually just for #1 (peeing)

She gets dizzy

She will sometimes feel drained when she is dizzy

She is the third child out of three

She is 18 years old

She works out often at the gym (is in good shape)

Has good sight

I don't know what else to put, but I'm writing all this just in case you would have to know about these things in order to figure out what the problem is. If you have any ideas of what it could be, please e-mail me or reply to this. Thank-you for any help or ideas you can offer.

Update:

We've seen many doctors, many different kinds of doctors, that have tested her on so many things, from thinking it's allergies to getting MRI's and more....

    It sounds to me like she may be suffering from some type of anemia(Low Blood Iron),with possibility of some type of Lymphoma or Hormone imbalance. She definately needs to see a Internal Medicine Doctor.

    I do not suppose you have got anger leadership problems however that you just have to be taught to deal proactively together with your anger. (you can also desire to appear into the slicing even though). I do suppose you're experiencing plenty of strain at residence. First, you sister didn't always CAUSE your mom's well being issues. She will have now not helped them and made matters disturbing and tricky at residence, but it surely used to be the construct up of strain and the movements taken, or now not taken to manipulate your sister's habits that finally result in the nervousness. For illustration, I had nervousness issues and do not blame my task for the nervousness, however my want for perfectionism, deficient consuming behavior, loss of recreation as a strain reliever, and so on. for the nervousness. Your mom is a father or mother and had the potential to manipulate your sister's habits from an early age by way of subject. Don't blame your sister for her found out and allowed behaviors. Second, whilst you uncover your self angered, earlier than you react together with your fists, give up, take sluggish and deep breaths and consciously make a decision to be proactive as a substitute of reactive. Being reactive does not anything to aid the concern and in most cases perpetuates the obstacle. But through being proactive, you're actively doing whatever approximately the concern. Punch your pillow. Find a calming and nontoxic situation wherein you'll cross to chill down whilst your mood flares up. When you think indignant, opt for a run to burn off the additional strain. And give up looking to manipulate your concern at residence. Accept that your sister is not an convenient youngster. Accept that you just and she or he are distinct. Stop your mouth earlier than the empty threats emerge. And recollect, not anything lasts eternally. The international and all people are constantly replacing. Good success!

    Sounds like anxiety, if not is she take colesteral meds? That can cause those pains. Also stomach problems or to much acid in the stomach will cause those pains in the abdomen. They have meds for that, or eat yogurt. If this is her first year in college, she is experiencing things she has never before. Especially separation anxiety.
