Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl. For the past few months, I have been having constant very painful headaches. And they affect my eyes and ears. I get very bad earaches from it (although the cold weather may also be a factor affecting them...) and my eyes just really hurt when I move them, e.g. looking around. Also the back of my head also seems to hurt when I move. So I try and keep it still as often as I can. But that is just not the problem. I have also been forgetting things very lately on a daily basis. I used to forget things a lot before, but now it just seems as if it is getting worse. Because, I have college, I have to revise for tests, mocks and so on, and when it comes to revision, or even when in class I just find it very hard to concentrate, I may be able to do so for a few minutes, but then my mind just wonders off. I have also been finding it very hard to take things in, even simple things people tell me to do or something says in lesson that I need to learn e.g. Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it. - something as simple as that I had to read over my mind a lot of times, for the information to make sense in my mind so I can process. My speech also seems like it is getting quite bad at times. A teacher told me that I may have trouble articulating my thoughts and speech; although, it can be improved. I have been getting really confused as well, I don't know how to explain it, but its just like my mind kind of goes completely blank and then everything comes rushing back, a moment of panic? of things that I may have forgotten, or if I lost something. For example, today it was lunch time, I had someone to speak to, but for that split second, as I was walking I forgot where I was going and kept wondering if it was already break time or if I had to go to next lesson already, and then I just kind of panicked if I forgot something to do, then I remember what I was suppose to be doing and carried on. I also wanted to ask, I don't know if this is normal or not. But is it normal to always have very cold hands and feet, but usually hot body- because I tend to also sweat a lot, I don't know if it may be related to being stressed or anxious. And sometimes it can get as worse as my body is dripping (my t-shirt absorbed a lot of it so it doesn't look so bad), but I don't mean sweat coming out from the armpits but mainly when it gets this bad from my chest and stomach and sometimes my upper legs! I hope someone can give me some guidance on what to do! As I really don't know. I have tried to take paracetamols, it used to work before, but now it isn't any good when I get headaches this bad. I would want to go to doctor but I wouldn't know how to approach him or how to explain to him all of this, even if I did know, I wouldn't go as my mum would just say I am complaining and am being 'lazy' as she always says I am. But I really do try, and it is not my fault I feel like this as I can't help it. When I do try to speak to her about it, she would just ignore me and say I am being lazy and won't take me seriously! She has paroxysmal positional vertigo, so she is basically saying if I have a headache she is suffering 100x worse, so I can't be anywhere near as much is pain as she is, so I would have to deal with it. She just says that I have a small headache and its no big deal and tell me to just take a tablet and I would feel better. But surely this isn't normal, right? I know that what I have written seems a little fuzzy and muddled all over the place. But I just hope someone can recommend me something that is suitable that I can take to feel better. Many thanks, Kat.:)
