whats wrong with me :(

hey, im 16 years old, and i have no idea whats going on with me, because im perscribed on addorall and alot of these strange symptoms ive had ive subconsiously blammed on those side effects, but now i feel like i would rather sleep in bed then anything. My feet and hands are always freezing cold and i cant get warm all day at school i shake alot! and i have no energy and my joints and my bones just ache, and my knees at night are just always irratating.. im very tierd but i have extreme sleeping problems i lay awake all night trying to sleep. when i get my period my body is very very sever pain. my muscles are just sore and when ever i move my bones crack its very gross and embarrassing. my nairs kinda peel off in think layers, i seem to always have a cold. im feeling so unmotivated and maybe depressed too, i always just feel crapy and my dad thinks its in my head and i often wonder what to do because i feel like something is wrong. ive been very 'air head' like like a brain fog ya know which i associate with lack of sleep i've had 3 concussions in the past like year so i thought that might be why the dizziness and things happened, my dad doesnt know about all my concussions because i know he will be upset and i forget things alot more then ive noticed before. im just desperate for some answers because i know its not just in my head and i dont wanna feel like this anymore, i miss the way i use to feel. i also get worried because my mom was very sick and died when i was 5, people dont seem to like to talk about her so all i know is that she had lupus, weber christian disease and lots of other stuff. please help! and thank you! i really appreciate it!

Please tell your father!!! Since your mother passed away being very sick she may have had something that may be hereditary for you. Tell your father so that you can see a doctor and get your blood tested for different things. It is SO important that you do this quickly so that the doctors can start treatment if you need it. As always with ANY condition, it is important that getting an early diagnosis can help start the cure or treatment to catch things early on rather than letting things progress until it's too late. Don't let that happen. Ask your father to ask the doctor to test you for autoimmune disorders and other stuff.  please!!! you are so young and have your whole life ahead. I know you may be scared but please don't wait!!!

Cmack, I was wondering if you have had the Gardasil vaccine?  you can go to truthaboutgardasil dot org and compare your symptoms.  If you have had this poison, please have your dad go to the site with you.  You are in my prayers, honey!  I am so sorry that you are having to go through this alone!

Your apparent low temp and vascular/circulation problems, muscular problems, joint problems, etc. sound a lot like vasculitis or inflammation of the blood vessels and possibly heart lining (endocarditis) plus inflammation of the joints (arthritis like symptoms).  All of these can be caused by chronic infections.  My one question to you is whether you ever had a bout of pneumonia, possibly atypical pneumonia?

In such cases we almost always find chronic infections that slowly became systemic, chronic infections after a childhood acute infection, such as M. pneumoniae.  The acute symptoms may go away, but the chronic problems slowly take over.

Some simple things that are OTC supplements that may help you with fatigue and muscle problems are NTFactor, Transfer Factor and other supplements that you can find online yourself.  Other more serious symptoms will have to be assessed by your physician.
