anyone know what it is?

anyone know what it is?

my daughter who is 15 yrs old has had the following symptoms for over 2 months now

constant head pain
sensitive to touch
hurts to brush hair, go to sleep, wash hair
tight feeling to the throat
tiredness
feel sick after eaten
cant sleep well due to tenderness

Have seen several doctors most keep trying to fob us off saying she is depressed because she does not appear happy when seeing them !! dont listen when we say she is unhappy because of the pain!! one doctor 2 weeks ago did listen a little more and reffered   her to a child neurologist but there is a 12 week wait .

anyone had similar symptoms we just want answers now

Is the pain confined to her head/face/neck area?  

If so, my guess would be possibly TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia).  

The Neurologist is definitely the next move unfortunately you all have to wait 12 weeks.  

Did this physician that gave you a referral prescribe anything for the pain?  Prednisone?  An Anti-inflammatory?

pain is just the head not face sometimes back of neck doctor only prescribed some beta blocker tablets because they also trying to say its migranes (migraines) if it were then im sure pain relief would work but nothing has so far has tried pizotofen and voltoral,

Migraines?  Beta blockers?  Sure doesn't sound like a "pure" migraine issue to me.  If she is having magraines it is secondary to something else.  

You all sure are getting the "run around."
