I am an MD. If you also have to get up several times each night to go to the bathroom then I would think Diabetes. go see a doctor about it.

Maybe you are a bit dehydrated? Drink lots of water and most of those symptoms will clear. Then again, maybe pregnancy? I hope not at 13 and no offense, of course. Not sure about the numbness . You should let your parents know so they can get you to a doctor asap. Good luck and i hope you feel better

The first thing that comes to my mind is that you're dehydrated. What color is your urine (pee)? The more darker yellow it is the more dehydrated you are. You can't get hydrated by drinking sodas, you're going to need to drink some water. So start drinking water until your pee starts to be clear, then continue to drink water instead of sodas. I bet you'll feel better very quickly. Best of luck to you......

Sinus infection, although that doesn't cover the numbness in your legs.....
Have you been eating properly? It could be a combination of hypoglycemia with a second diagnosis of low potassium. You should see a dr.

Sounds like my dad before he got diagnosed with diabetes. I'd see your doctor. Diabetes is managable, although it isn't curable. It won't really interrupt your life, you'll just have to watch what you eat a little more carefully.

Tell mom and get an appointment with your doctor. It could be your blood sugar, mononucleosis, a virus....why guess? Get a check up and be certain and do it right away.

best thing is to go and see your doctor but the symptoms are similar to diabetes.

It could be your blood sugar. Tell your parent and have it checked.
