Confused Help would be appreciated...

I'm a 17 year old female who has had it up to here with my doctors...

I have had constant headaches for the past 7 years. I only recently got an appointment with a neurologist because there is nothing left to blame the headahe on. It was blamed on a palatal expander, a cyst around a tooth, and braces. The braces came off almost 2 years ago and the headaches have only gotten worse.

I'm posting in epilepsy because my gut is telling me that it is. Along with the progressively worse headaches I had a tonic-clonic seizure a few months ago and seem to be having fairly frequent absence seizures. I will also get a headache at school and getting home would be hard to remember then the next thing I know I'm being woken up later that night with no memory of falling asleep. Even walking between classes I'll be walking down a hallway and all of the sudden I have no idea where I am.

I would have thought that a neurologist could handle this but I went to one appointment and will never return to the neurologist. He did not believe a word I said and didn't even shut the door during the appointment.

I'm just getting desperate for answers at this point and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
