Are all of my symptoms connected or not?

Hey, I'm a 15 year old female and I've been having most of these symptoms for a year and a half now and they all keep getting worst. On a daily basis I have migraines that make my head feel like it's about to explode along with these Ive been having memory loss and confusion, so much so that my usually 95 or better grades are now down to 70's because I can't remember the information. Whenever I stand up, if I have a headache or not, I have loss of my vision for a few seconds and become extremely dizzy which is dry concerning to me. Also whenever I eat anything I get stomach cramps and sometimes I can barely move because of them. I also have been extremely tired as of late, sleeping most of the day and feeling very weak and a new symptom has started in the last week which is that I get stabbing pains all of a sudden in my hands that make me scream in pain because they are so intense. And my knee has started to give out and swelling even though I haven't done anything to it. It started to hurt and swell when I was on bed rest for three days because of a surgery on my mouth. I've went to many different doctors---a neurologist, a joint doctor, my pediatrician, an ENT doctor, an allergist along with serval hospital visits. I had an MRI of my brain which showed irration on my brain but the doctor thought that it was either from my jaw problems or my braces or maybe even left over from my brain infection when I was an infant. I had a wide variety of blood tests and the only three that showed any sign that any thing may be wrong is that my iron count on several blood tests was on the lower range of what it should be but not dangerously low though and I was borderline for type 1 diabetes, twice. They diagnosed me with acid reflux because of one of the tests and the medicine worked for about a week before I started to puke every time I had it. The doctors all decided not to act on them after that and they call it stress even though I don't have much of anything to be stressing over. I really need help but the doctors all seem to think that nothing is wrong even though everyday I'm crying from the pain in my head and stomach. Thanks for reading and hopefully helping.

If you want a different perspective as to the possible causes of your problems consider looking up some great articles about vascular vein compression syndromes. A friend of mine that has May- Thurner Syndrome and Nutcracker Syndrome told me about a German doctor that she's consulted with because she has one of the more rare conditions called SMA Syndrome. He has an article called:

From the Nutcracker-Phenomenon of the Left Renal Vein to the Midline Congestion Syndrome (May-Thurner Syndrome) As a Cause of Migraine, Headache, Back and Abdominal Pain and Functional Disorders of Pelvic Organs

Dr. Thomas Scholbach

Another article called:
Vascular Compression Syndromes

The best article I've ever read about May- Thurner Syndrome and Nutcracker Syndrome. I have May-Thurner and can tell you he is brilliant and exactly right in his description of these conditions which most doctors know nothing about. Hope this might help you! Good Luck!

Hello~I am so sorry you are having all this pain. My suggestion is to see a chiropractor. Your migraines, dizziness and forgetfulness, plus the tummy aches can be due to vertebrae in your back and neck being dislocated and pressing on nerves. He/she will take some x-rays  and then adjust you accordingly. After a few treatments, you should start feeling lots better.
