-always being cold (and I mean always) and having cold sweats,
-extreme excessive amounts of sleep, (17-18 hours in one night every night)
-irritability,
-fatigue,
-light-headedness and having to sit down so i don't pass out.
and that's about it.
Do you think I have some sort of disease? It's not my period or anything, it's been going on for a long time.
thanks for the help.

It's definitely not menopause, because I'm only 15.

It could be several things including anemia or your thyroid. You'll never know for sure until your doctor does some blood work. I have very simmilar symptoms and I am anemic. You can get an iron or folic acid supplement from your local drug store and try that for about a week and see if you notice an improvement. If not, see your doctor.

Malnutrition - see a Natreopath or a Dietitian and have your diet evaluated. The cold is a sign of depleted iron as are the other symptoms. It is possible you are eating enough iron and not absorbing it so seeing someone trained in whole body care is key for quickest diagnosis. Good Luck!

Could be signs of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Menopause. By what you asked I take its not menopause. Some symptoms are fatigue, dizziness, night sweats, irritability, along with others.

I'm not a medical person, but if you've had these symptoms for some time I would seek medical help. Have your doctor set up a complete profile of blood and urine testing. I'm sure you'll receive your answer from the results from the tests.
Good Luck and hope you feel better.

Possibly hypothyroidism, poor circulation, low blood pressure. The first place to start would be to go to your doctor to have some lab work (blood work) done. Any abnormal lab values will give your physician a starting point in your diagnosis.

those are definitely symptoms, but by themselves they don't mean much for sure. true diagnostitians look at the whole picture, which you obviously haven't and can't supply here. I would say that such symptoms would warrant a trip to a doctor so they can be properly assessed.

It could be depression. I am on d. meds and used to have all of those same sym. I still have them but, to a lesser degree. Except for the cold thing. I am always freezing.

it could be a lot of different things, but sounds like Peri menopause, or hormone en balance

Being cold and tired are signs of hypothyroidism.
