What could these symptoms mean?
Firstly, if you think any of this is "gross", please just keep your comments to yourself.
I am a 13 year old girl. I live in a clean environment, and none of my family members (a mom and a step-dad) are having any of the same symptoms.
The last few weeks I have had really bad stomach cramps. It feels almost like a gas bubble, but I never comes out (even when i go #2) and it has been persistent for a while now.
I have also been having some minor headaches, dizziness, muscle pain, sleeplessness and loss of appetite.
My birth-dad has fibromyalgia and I hear that can be passed on to your kids, but I read about it, and my symptoms don't seen severe enough or many enough.
If you have any ideas on what I might have, please let me know. And by the way, please don't just say "go to the doctor", because I am going to. If you don't know what it might be, don't bother answering.
I also have been very depressed lately, but I didn't list it, because I thought it was probably irrelivant.
And about my period. I thought at first it was just PMS, because it had been awhile since my last period, but my periods are so irregular (sometimes skipping many months) that I can never be sure. I don't think it's PMS anymore though, because I have been feeling this way for about 2 weeks now.

1. Hon, nothing is irrelevant. Also, I doubt it is Fibromyalgia because you lack palpitations, numbness or migraines. Also, Fibromyalgia takes years to develop and progress.If you don't mind me asking, when was your last menstrual cycle? Because this could be a result of PMS, or other complication brought on by your period.
Good job in going to the doctor. Be sure to bring up your depression, because that indicates a hormone imbalance.
Best of wishes,

2. you can have fms without palpatations, migraines, etc
itoften comes on suddenly--but tends to get worse over time
with the main symtpom beiing stomach--i doubt its fms--might be as simple as MONO
