have you tried praying to God or going to a pastor of a nearby church. Do you even believe in God If you dont then this would be the time for him to prove himself to you.I am not a doctor, but I do believe in God and his abilities. Somethings in life can't be explained through medical science.Have you taken a strange drug or been a new medication lately. Maybe these are side effects.

Doctors are expensive. I can't pay for that myself, and my parents would find out if I used their insurance. I'm only in the 7th grade :(
Report as
ya im in 7th grade too, i have an idea that will get u to the hospital in a heartbeat...dont worry it doesnt ivolve drugs or any form of hurting urself to get to the hospital, it just involves a lie but if all the things u described r really happening i think its worth it. go to one of ur parents and say u can barely breath itll get u to the hospital and then if there was something wrong they woud find out,also csarahline is right DHS is an option. if it were me id be calling 911 ASAP
Report as
Huh. Well, that would work.
Report as
yes. haha the mind of a 7th grader, but u might have to add some acting like choking or something
Report as
Haha I can picture it. It would actually look kinda funny the way I would do it... :)

Perhaps DHS needs to be called. This sounds like medical neglect. You REALLY need to go to a doctor.

If they blow you off again, report them to your local police.

No one in the medical field is going to offer advice, without being able to actually see you and do tests.

Why not call 911 for medical response?

Or just go to the doctor yourself? Walk, bike, taxi, or bus.

I dont have the money to do that myself. Doctors are expensive, and they probably call my parents If I went by myself.
Report as
If you go to the ER, they can't deny medical treatment due to lack of ability to pay. It's a federal law.
Report as
My parents would find out. What then? :(

Well, if it does turn out to be something serious, I think your parents would want to know.

Why would they not WANT you to go to a doctor?!?!?!

Ok, thank you!!! :)

DHS. I'm just sayin.

Hmm... Well, it's an idea O.o

If you call 911 for "medical response," the paramedics have to do what the legal guardians want. Not the child.
Report as
Same thing if someone underage goes to the ER.
Report as
Yeah. I thought of that. :(
Report as
Given that most parents work ... and school's out ... I assumed that he could call 911 without the parents there. And if he goes to the ER without a parent, they have to treat.
Report as
I'm a SHE, thank you. And my parents would find out.

I agree... It's medical neglect. I am in the medical field, but legally I cant give medical advice or diagnose, since I am not legally treating you. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking? If you go to a city hospital/call 911, you will get the help you need. All the best!

In 7th grade. I can't do anything about this... And it really gets to me.
Report as
Gbarone, if you are in the medical field, you should know that nothing can be done for this kid without the consent of their legal guardians. So going to an ER or calling 911 will not get them the medical help they want.

I'm curious As to why nobody believes you. Do you have a history of odd symptoms or other issues? Calling 911 is not me necessary and your parents will be billed for it.

No history like that. My friends just for some reason don't believe me. My family... Just doesn't believe me either, I guess. I don't lie. But hallucinations are pretty out there, even though it's true.

How old are you? You say you have tons of stuff wrong which would indicate your reading too much online. Most women get chills, headaches and stuff due to hormonal changes associated with our period. The shoulder pain and numbness could be from sleeping wrong or any number of reasons. If your really sick then walk, ride a bike or take a bus to your doctor. Once your there to be seen the receptionist can call your mom to get insurance information for payment. Once there maybe your parents will acknowledge your sick.

I'm in the seventh grade, and it's possible it's hormones, but I don't read stuff online like you said. But you're blaming everything on that, and I just don't know. I hit my head, hard, a lot. Everything gets worse after. Can you hallucinate and blame it on hormones? I'm open to anything.
Report as
If you have hit your head hard a few times then you must find a way to be seen. Have your school call an ambulance to take you to the hospital. Let your school nurse or secretary know your parents are unresponsive to your requests to be seen. They might have a suggestion. It will be harder without parental consent to be seen but maybe your school will help. Normally hormones do not cause hallucinations and it's hard to diagnose anything without a full medical work up. Good luck and hope your feel well soon.

Thank you so much this really helps :)

It's summer, so no teachers, my friends don't believe me, and any. Cousin old enough to care I don't see often enough. My god this is frustrating!

You dont have any of your teachers numbers. I forgot the rest of your answer:) and i cant go back to see it untill i answer lol. But comeon if you havent done anything is because you dont want to. If i were you and i knew i was in a bad situation. I wouldnt care about the outcome to save myself. Comeon :)
Report as
I'm trying. But everyone keeps saying call 911! Call 911! That's a little dramatic, don't you think? I mean like if someone gave advice to get my parents to take to a doctor, that would work :) but nobody does that. Why would I have my teachers phone numbers?
Report as
Ok well what do YOU think is wrong with you?? And you know only God can fix everything :)
Report as
If I knew, why would I ask??? 911 follows the orders of the legal guardian, not the child. Even if I did call they wouldn't listen!

My advice to you would be go to the emergency room, no matter how you get there just go, as far as your parents yes the doctor will call them, but if the doctor finds something wrong with you, then it should be a wake up call for them. Just go and try not to worry about them. Just pit everything in God's hands, and he will guide you in the right path.

Honey, go to a doctor. I can't imagine what's wrong with your parents, but they need to wake up! Praying for you. 7nth grade is hard enough without medical issues. If all else fails, go to a teacher or other trusted adult & get them to take you to a doctor. <3

Call 911 or child protective services if you have to, 1-800-422-4453! That is neglect or refusing to provide medical care! You need a doctor, now!

911 doesn't do what a child wants though. It follows the legal guardians... :(

Ok. As a paramedic, I must announce to all of you that when we respond to an underage caller, I must do what the parent wants me to do and the same for the ER. Without the consent of the legal guardians, my hands are tied.

Talk to your parents or a school counselor. But ultimately The medical decisions lie with the parents until a child reaches the age of 18 or is declared an emancipated minor.

File a complaint against your parents for child neglect and cruelty. You can do that by a call or visit to your local PD. You will be placed with a loving foster care specialist. In the interim, your parents will be forced to take a course on the proper care of children. You will become the family hero for all the good that will follow.
