sorry guy, I think you should tell your parents. things I think of are meningitis, flu, or undiagnosed infection somewhere. also, if you don't have a fever, they might do a CT scan to make sure nothings wrong with your brain.

I really would go to the doctor and get this checked out. The weakness in your arm does not sound right or fit with any common virus I know.
Any headache that continues for that length of time should also be checked out.
Don't delay this....it probably isn't anything serious but there are one or two neurological conditions it would be better to rule out.
When you make the appointment make sure they see you a.s.a.p...tell them it's urgent. Just to be on the safe side.
Best wishes

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck.
Headaches can be caused by minor problems
like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can
have harmful side effects, so it is better to
modify your lifestyle. More information available at

If you continue to have it longer then a week, please go see your doctor, A week is what i'm told to wait before I can make any type of Dr. appointments. In the mean time try an ice pack and Aspercreme that you can find down the medicine isle at the store.
