You need to talk to your parents and keep a diary fo your symptoms, when they occur, if you notice anything different you were doing when the symptoms came on etc. You should see your doctor and get a referral to some kin of a specialist. You may need something like an MRI, another full blood work up, something is obviously wrong and you need to find someone who can properly diagnose you.
Well, you remind me of when I was sick. I had a lot of your symptoms for about 4 years before I figured out that it was celiac disease—which is a form of gluten intolerance. Gluten is the protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. The only cure is a gluten-free diet. It's really hard because gluten and its by-products are actually in everything. My symptoms were rapid weight loss, SEVERE migraines, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, heat flashes, and a few other things. My doctor was inable to diagnose me. i figured it out on my own, then my doctor confirmed it. I suggest you look it up, because you never know.
What throws me off is the high white blood cell count. Have you been tested for mono?
Headaches must be diagnosed according to the principles of Chinese medicine in order tor treat them effectively with Chinese herbs. This diagnosis is made according to a TCM examination.
Modern day headache categories such as migraine headaches, cluster headachs, stress headaches, or vascular headaches don't give us a clue as to the real causes and are not useful categories in determining proper herbal treatment. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) concepts allow an understanding of the causes and also point to the cure.
Headaches fall into two general categories, Excess Headache and Deficiency Headaches. Both result in the diminished flow of qi and blood in the head. Poor flow is experienced as pain.
Excess headache is caused by an excess of qi and/or blood in the upper body resulting in congested or stuck flow in the head.
Though an excess headache could be caused by a concussive injury, more commonly it is caused by an oversupply of qi in the upper body. This oversupply is usually due to "Heat Rising" in the body
Heat provoking events like anger, frustration, stress, or ingesting alcohol or spicy foods can cause this problem, and will make these ailments worse.
Beyond asprin, acetominaphine, and ibuprofin, there are alternative medicines that may cure as well as relieve pain. Alternative Chinese medicine is best taken under the guidance of a trained Chinese herbalist. However, if you can't find one nearby, please come to visit our website:http://www.tcmdiscovery.com/
