What you are describing sounds a lot like a seizure disorder. Have you had an eeg and have you seen a pediatric neurologist? My son has a classmate with epilepsy, but since he doesn't have grand mal seizures and sometimes perfectly normal brain activity, it took several years to get a correct diagnosis.
In some cultures, parents don’t get involved with things that happen at school. I know that is weird to U.S. Americans! I had a Japanese student who was mortified to the point of tears when she found out I had emailed her English teacher about a minor problem (because the student was too shy and uncomfortable to talk to him about it herself). She said that in Japan, for a parent to contact a teacher outside of the yearly open house is shameful and would mean that there’s a terrible problem. It took a lot of convincing for her to believe that it’s just a matter of routine here!
Actually it happens right here in the US. When our daughter was little she had a recurring medical condition that would keep her out of school two or three days ever couple of weeks. She was under the care of a specialist that required us going to a major children's research hospital. (They eventually found the problem and it was corrected but it was a traumatic four years for us). In the middle of all this the school called us in and told us they didn't believe there was a problem at all, that she was just making excuses to get out of class. They actually had the nerve to tell us the school nurse was more qualified to diagnose there was nothing wrong than the doctor at the children's hospital!
Good thought in today's climate. This was just before camera phones were common, but yes, it would be a good idea today. Not something I would have thought of.
Thank you. Fortunately yes, they were able to fix the problem. And eventually the principal retired and her replacement was a real cracker jack of a guy who turned that whole school around and we're still friends with him years later.
Just verifying that to all who want to know I am 16 years old and in year 11 at school (grade 11) my parents and both fully involved in the situation. I did have an EEG (Electroencephalogram) done late last year as well as a ECG (Electrocardiogram) both came up as normal I am going back next month for another EEG and ECG.
I just wonder if you've done "Blood analysis", include Hemoglobin. I think this is the thing that you have to do first.
In general, ( not about your situation), Some times doctors go far away in their expectations because they depend on your description while the problem is known ( has cure) and very common.
