But also i cannot get to sleep until about 3.00 each night even if ive been active all day and really tired i cannot sleep. I cry sometimes its really annoying it makes me very depressed. I never feel refreshed when i wake up and i have ocd in certain things. I just want some sleep, no dizziness and a mum that listens!

Maybe my story at http://www.fms-help.com/insomnia.htm will help your mom to understand the misery and seriousness of having insomnia. My "sleep clock" broke when I was 16. I am now 56.

About hypoglycemia, I had that too and know it feels to be shaky and about to pass out. Eating adequate protein every day helped and also eating small meals more frequently than 3 times a day helped me too.

I am slightly OCD (runs in our family), so I understand what you are saying. Perhaps this constellation of symptoms you and I are experiencing is genetically related.

Ask your parents to take you to the doctor so you can discuss your symptoms. If they can't or won't do that, maybe there is a clinic at your school where you can discuss these symptoms with a nurse. And thankfully we have the internet where we can do our own medical research at reputable sites.

For a list of things I've tried for sleep since 1982, see http://www.fms-help.com/sleep.htm - this list includes meds and supplements.

Tell everything you just said to your doctor.
