Question by IsabellaS: My Face(Please Read)?
Hi,

OK, I’m posting in Women’s Health, because I’m a 15 year old girl. Here’s the problem I’m having.

I have a disability called CP, and I can’t walk without the assistance of crutches, and I use a wheelchair as well. I also have epilepsy which is in general the condition of taking two or more seizures. I am on the medication Depakote. I take 750mg a day. I am also on two vitamins, and I know for sure that one of them is called Selenium. I am on the vitamins because a side effect of the Depakote is hair loss, and well I’m a beautiful red head who doesn’t want to lose her hair, so I’ve no choice but to take them.

Throughout the school year, (this past year, the year prior, and for the next two years of high school) I have to get up at 6AM to get ready for school, no if ands, or buts. Doing so causes me major headaches , and sometimes I have trouble concentrating as well. Along with these headaches I have this weird face pain, it’s almost like a migraine sort of. I know their migraines during school because anything and everything bothers me there, even the lights.

Ever since school has let out for the summer, and since I get to sleep in more the headaches have gone away, however, I get the face pain still, and it constantly feels like my face is being smashed. I try to be in bed by 9:00PM or 9:30PM during the school year, and 11PM during the summer.

I was at the doctor on Monday for a physical, and I’m healthy, except for the fact that I need a new prescription in my glasses, one that’s stronger, and I’m going for an eye exam next week, but I told my doctor about my face pain, and she said “Your medicine will handle it.”

I’ve been on it for at least 5 months, and it hasn’t done much to handle my face pain, but it does help cut back on the amount of headaches I get. They switched me to this medicine because the kind I was on before was too strong, and made me like a zombie.

What the heck could be wrong with my face? No doctor will listen to me when I tell them about it, they sweep it under the rug by saying that my medicine will take care of it. What can I do to stop the pain?

Two things I can think of that I have experianced are allergies/and/or sinus infections from the allergies or “turtle syndrom” which is sleeping with something over your face like a blanket and not getting enough oxygen. Both cause the pressure around your nose and eyes that feel like there is a weight on them as well as a headache in your temples that sort of throbs especially when your around a light source. With mine it also feels like there is a slight constant pinching at the top of my nose between my eyes too.

After ending a relationship with my ex in December, I decited to go on a diet to lose some baby weight. So I put myself on a strict diet eating mostly veggies and no more than a certain amount on my plate for every meal. I started to keep busy around the house to keep up some kind of exercise because I stay home with my baby. Anyway, I noticed my weight was coming off really fast…like 3 pouds in a week or so. I ended up lossing 15 pounds in Janurary alone. Yeah I was happy to feel a little better about my weight loss but I noticed my hair was falling out more and more every day. So I told a close friend of mine who was a nurse, and she said that my body was lacking protien from eating mostly veggies. Now I eat skinless chicken with my salad and soy nuts for a snack. But I just wanted to know… Is there a good protien supplement I could also use in the mean time to help speed up my protien intake???? Thank’s for taking the time to view. I know it was quite an explanation….. :O)
