Constant Headaches, feeling extremly strange and vonurable
by Sarah19734, Nov 29, 2008 03:32PM
I have been expeirencing headaches for more than 6 months now. I am a 13yr old female. I have been suffering lots of pain around the back of my head, my temples and around my forehead. I am in yr 9 at school and it is an important year, but because of the headaches, i have been missing alot of days off school because of the pain. I have tried paracetamol, ibruprofen, cocoldomol and nurophen- but nothing takes the pain away. My doctors gave me stronger tablets but even they didn't help, so i have been referred to a hospital. I went there recently and saw a pediatrician and he gave me more tablets. So far these tablets aren't helping. I am becoming extremly disorented and vonurable. Sometimes i become very angry ans start shouting- when i am usaully very quiet, I don't know where i am sometimes or i feel like i am in someone else's body. If i am around lots of people i can beome extremly upset and my hands start shaking.
Can anyone help me?
I can't take the pain anymore, and i don't like feeling like this. I try and stay positive but i just breakdown sometimes in the middle of my lessons.
If anyone can help or suggest anything please let me know,
Thankyou
Sarah

It's nice to get some feedback at last. Here's an update for today;
I had an easy day, easy lessons. I did have a 3 hour rehersal after school today but i was feeling fine. Then I rang my mum as i usaully do and i suddenly started crying on the phone because i keep forgetting where i am. I hung up the phone and was shaking and felt disoriented. A friend was trying her best to help, but i just didn't know what to do. I didn't know wether to go to the nurses office and explain what was happening or just carry on and let it pass.
I got to my rehersal and everything was fine untill the last hour. My head was pounding, i went extremly light headded and dizzy. I was really hot and my heart was beating so fast i could feel it thumping on my rib cage.
I have doubled my tablets and am now taking 2 a night. If i am feeling strange or disoriented in the mornings- should i attempt to go to school or should i go back to the hospital? I have an appiontment for Feb 09. Is that too long to wait?
Please comment and thanks for helping and suggesting ideas- it has really helped.

Thanks for all your comments about my symptoms.
I've not had any head trauma that i know of- although I was in a car accident with my mum about 3 years ago. I didn't suffer anything nasty- just some wiplash. Do you think that could have caused it?
I'm going to ask for an earlier appiontment. Is there any specific tests or scans i should ask for?
Thanks again
Sarah
