I think I have a tumor in my brain. What do you think?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'2 and weigh around 100 pounds. I'm 15 years old and I'm scared to tell anyone about what's happening because no one ever believes me. I've had my blood drawn numerous times, and I've had a stool sample. All the results have come back clean so I have no idea what's wrong with me. I have a hard time walking and I tend to fall every now and then. I've also noticed a drastic change in my eyesight. It's gotten a lot worse then it was at the beginning of the school year. So please someone help me, and give me some answers.

When I say fall, I mean stumbling and then not being able to get up, or fainting. Also one time I was in my room and I fell and I couldn't get back up so I ended up falling asleep there because I couldn't get to my bed.

I don't know how old you are or where you live but if your mom won't make the appointment, then I'd find a way to get to the hospital. I don't know if it's a tumor but this is very serious by the sounds of it. Get a taxi and go to emergency maybe? Maybe you have a friend that can take you? Or, keep "bugging" your mom about this until she either believes you, or will make the appointment just to "shut you up" lol ;) You MUST tell the doctor about your eyesight and the dizziness. Like the one guy said, you need an MRI or x-rays. Why won't your mom take you seriously? This does not make sense when these are pretty serious things happening.

Sounds like an inner ear imbalance www.earassociates.com/...isorders-san-jose-ca.html

I had a very similar thing happen to me. I had different symptoms but I thought I had a brain tumor as well. You could be right or it could just be anxeity. You'll need CT or an MRI. I would look up some information about brain tumours. If you match up with most of the symptoms and signs you should tell your mom or dad. It's really scary but it's better to catch these things early then wait. Even if your wrong it's always better to know.

Viruses can also make you feel very unwell, you may want to also watch what you are consuming your diet can affect both your moods and overall health, so watch what you're eating, get plenty of exercise, and drink water, hope you feel better soon.

[Asker]

I eat the same way I've always had, and I drink a lot of water. Ever since I heard that your supposed to consume up to a 1 1/2 liters to 2. I just fill up old 2 liter soda bottles filled with water and drink that all day, out of my water bottle at school.

[Opinion Owner]

Ok, the drinking lots of water is good but don't overdo it, you mentioned you have eaten the 'same way' maybe you need to speak to a dietician because sometimes we eat things that we have always eaten and suddenly the body changes, like blood sugar levels etc and we have to add or take certain things out of our diet, to make sure we are getting the right vitamins the body needs, like a car for example if you fill it up with the wrong fuel, something will go wrong and it won't work as well, if you are very worried get a second opinion from another doctor it's your right, you see just guessing is not helping you need peace of mind and if you don't get the answers from one doc try another, your parents should should be on this and make sure you get sorted out, hope you do.

See a fucking doctor instead of asking the Internet

[Asker]

I can't, my mom never believes me when I tell her stuff like this. She always thinks I'm lying when I tell her I'm in pain. So no I can't see a doctor because she's the one who has to make the appointment.

[Mickey712]

Have you tried your school nurse? Maybe she will take you more seriously and contact your mom. If you really believe something is wrong you have to do something about it! Good luck!

That's called puberty. It goes away in a few years.

[Asker]

When I say fall I mean fainting, or I stumble and then I can't get back up and my legs go tingly.

Seriously, being a teenager is the worst 12 years of your life. If you are truly concerned, see a doctor and tell him your concerns and symptoms, but 90% of health issues for teenagers are related to development.

[Asker]

Didn't mention this in the question because I didn't think it was relevant to the situation, have you ever gone blind for 30 minutes due to puberty? I went blind for 30 minutes couldn't see at all. It was late at night and my parents were already asleep. Also is forgetting what 7 years of your life, due to puberty? Please let me know.

[Opinion Owner]

I'm inclined to say yes, but that's heavily reliant on my urge to be right. If it's freaking you out this much, see a doctor and tell him everything. I'm just the kind of person who ignores medical problems until they either go away or absolutely have to be dealt with.

[Winterberry]

You have got to tell your parents!!! That is the first and most important thing.

[blondfrog]

That's what doctors are for this could be your life you shouldn't ask for medical advice on here.

[TheSpartan]

Go to a doctor. Now. My friend was just diagnosed with terminal brain cancer; I want to make sure that the same doesn't happen to you.

[Anonymous]

You need a CT scan and or MRI. You need to press this issue with dr/parents.

[Anonymous]

Sounds like multiple scrosses or maybe nurospholise if your sexual active or maby diabetes

[ThisAndThat]

Have you seen a doctor for that?

[Asker]

I've seen a lot of doctors in the past, I have really bad problems with my stomach, and that's why I've had so many blood tests, and a stool sample. I've felt like this for as long as I can remember, stomach and troubles with walking.

[ThisAndThat]

You don't by chance have any issues with your house do you? Like leaks or water damage?

[Asker]

No, I don't. I jump around between different houses. My mom's and my dad's.

[ThisAndThat]

Do you know for a fact there is no mold in either house and do those symptoms continue when you not at home such as in school?

[Asker]

I notice the symptoms constantly, not just when I'm at home.

[ThisAndThat]

You should let somebody know about it and go back to your doctor. If your doctor doesn't know get them to refer you to a specialist.

[Asker]

I can't see a doctor because my mom won't take me.

[ThisAndThat]

Have you went to the school nurse with it?

[Asker]

MY school nurse is rarely ever there, she's barley ever in her office. Plus I don't have school right now, I'm on a vacation.

[ThisAndThat]

You say your mom won't take you to a doctor but what about your dad?

[Asker]

He lives in a different state

[ThisAndThat]

What state are you in?

[Asker]

That's not relevant

[ThisAndThat]

OK then I wish you well, looks like I can be of no help to you.

[Byakuyarko]

you should get an mri scan... Get well soon...
