I am an underage teenager still living with my parents. I have went to the doctors before concerning my health (my hands were always in pain and cramping up)- it turns out that I had low B12 so I have been taking vitamins. Lately, though, I have been dropping A LOT of things, even if they are as light as a pencil, I constantly have to re-type things on the computer and my hand tingle. This has also been happening with my feet.
(Also, I crack my hand joints a lot. Even though I am only in my late teens could I be developing something like Arthritis early?)
My family has a history of diabetes- so I am getting concerned because I have been showing some other symptoms that I haven't heard of before now.
Throughout the last three years I have been drinking and eating a lot more. I have also been making roughly 5 trips to the bathroom per day. That is a lot for me because I used to go only once or twice. I am also constantly tired. Sometimes I get bruised that I can't explain and they take almost two weeks to heal.
My question is:
I have expressed my concerns to my parents before but I don't think that they are taking it as serious as I think it is. Should I make an appoitment with my doctor anyway? Could this be serious? What could happen if I leave it too late?
