extreme dizziness (i have larbyrithesis but way dizzier then usual)
abdominal pain
diarrhea or constipation (can be either or)
fatigue
excessive sleepiness (more then usual)
weakness

trouble concentrating (more then usual)

increased sensitivity to light (i have photosensitivity but its worse)
increased sleeping
decreased appetite
chills
night sweating
low fever (not sure)
feeling as if a higher tempurature
increased memory problems

i am trying to help my little sister, she's been misreable and i've had to take care of her. she is 12, and has these medical problems -

Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (a rare connective tissue disorder)
a eating disorder (most likely anorexia)
a balance disorder (not known yet)
Epilepsy
and i think that's it, but what do you think this is? i'm really worried, please help

i'm her older brother. yes we are close and that's why she asked me for help. and i'm taking care of her too (our parents are too i'm just helping) and no rude comments! honest, serious comments. her symptoms have been going on for about 10 days now.


where i put "i" i meant her. i'm used to writing poems and stories coming from my view so it's a habbit. sorry.... i'm not the best speller either so dont tell me get better with grammer or speling. tx


any ideas of what this is? our parents don't see much about it, they aren't wanting to rush to the hospital. our hospital isn't very good and they just don't want to jump up and say we are going to the ER. she doesn;t have menengitis, because she was already tested for it. negative. but any other ideas...?

If she has anorexia that is most likely causing all of these problems as she will be lacking so many nutrients for starters she may be anemic (low in iron) google it as you will see being low in iron causes a ray of symptoms, maybe low in B vitamins and more. I would say she'd have to go to the doctor and have some blood tests done to be sure. Take her as soon as you can. She should be ok

Has she has her period lately? It sounds similar to TSS or Toxic Shock Syndrome. Good luck, I really hope she gets better. You are a really good brother.

she might just have a very severe migrane, i had a migrane like that once, give her advil for it and see if it goes away, but it could get serious if you don't go to the octor i was out of school for a week with that migrane, and my mom finally took me to the hospital and they give you medicine for it, adn tell you to rest. oh yeah eliminate sound and ligt from her room, and let her sleep.

I answered this on another section, you are making up excuses so I think you have read a medical book somewhere. if she is that severely sick you would be with her not sitting on the computer wasting everyones time. She needs to go to ED, if not go and kiss her goodbye, cos with that manysymptoms she could be on her way out.
