Im having neurological symptoms, please help me figure this out?

I need some help, from anyone who knows anything about neurology. Ive been having severe migraine attacks for about 4 years straight now. This means, when i wake up i have a severe headache, and when i go to bed i have a severe headache. Now, i know what your thinking, thats obsurd. I wish. This has plauged my life for so long. Ive visted a neurologist before and no help. My migraines are acompanied with aura, as well as dizzyness, feeling weak, becoming tired and irritated and the whole deal. About 2 1/2 years ago, my hand would start going numb. To the point that it caused me severe pain. From the bending of my elbow to my finger tips. Pain is so severe, i would cry upon moving it or being touched. This lasted about 3-4 days each time and happens frequently now. My neruologist did confirm i have tremors, and really bad periforal vision. She wasnt sure what either was caused by, and asked for a Lumbar test. Which, i did not due because of lack of parental approval. To make this story short, my tremors are getting worse, my muscles are weakining, my migraines more severe and it seems to go down hill from their. I did an MRI 3 years ago, and it revealed only multiple small "white spots" my doctor called lessions. There are days i can't get out of bed. I have no health insurance, or money. I'm 18 years old, a bit overweight. Have a family history of both Parkinsons, Multiple sclerosis, Anemia, and Diabetese. I do not have diabetese, but I did at some point have anemia. No longer do, Please help me im desperate.

1. I have similar symptoms and have been seeing doctors for 11 years with no luck. I had meningitis when I was 12 days old and have some brain tissue death because of it. My symptoms started when I was about 15-16 and have gotten progressively worse. A few years back the pain got so bad I went in again thinking I HAD TO have cancer or something. I feel for you, I know pain is real whether doctors can figure out why it's there or not. Good luck. If you find a cure (besides suicide its not an option I have kids), let me know.
2. You are 18 now so no need for parental approval. You need to do what you need to do regardless of money. Apply for medicaid and see what they say. Go in and make an appointment with the doctor to find out what kind of a specialist you need to go to, to find out what is going on. If the medical bills get to be too much then apply to the hospital to have them write a portion of it off. I have done this at my local hospital twice. They are allowed to write off so much per year so for your case, it is worth getting it looked at. The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN takes on difficult cases. You might try giving them a call. Or any other Mayo Clinic depending on where you are located. Good luck to you. Lory
