Irregular Menstruation
OK, I have a LOT going wrong with me. First, I got a lump in my throat, then a small bump on the roof of my mouth, frequent stomach aches that last just a few minutes and vary in severity. Then my period came along....The first day it was very light. I used one tampon from 6 am to 1 pm and I didnt need another one, the next day I didnt need one at all. Usually my period lasts 4 to 5 days and I need a new tampon all day except at night and early mornings. Why are there suddenly so many things wrong with me? I want to go to the doctors but my mom is avoiding that for some reason. Help? Thanks :)

We are not doctors and even if we were we cannot make a diagnoses or give any diagnoses over this site.
The lump and the bump are the two problems that are most disturbing to me. Followed by stomach aches and irregular period. The last two may be related but it will take a doctor to make that call.
If you are over 14 by law you do not need mom to take you to the doctor. A Federal Law called HIPPA gives anyone, especially girls, over the age of 14 the right to seek medical help, for female related problems such as irregular periods.
This law also gives you medical confidentiality meaning whatever you say, whatever the doctor treats you for or prescribes stays between you and the doctor. You parents or anyone else cannot be told without your written permission to the doctor. There are exceptions but they are for life threatening situations where parental permission by law is require to treat you.
If you are under 14 and you cannot get mom to take you to the doctor go to the school nurse. If the school nurse feels your medical complaint warrants seeing a doctor they will send you to a hospital emergency room. The school system has that right while you are in their care. If the nurse does not feel the matter is that urgent but you need to see a doctor. They will call mom and request mom take you to the doctor with a follow up note to them from the doctor after you have been seen and treated.

We are not doctors as we can not tell of this reason. But this does seem serious so tell you Mom she has to get you right over to the hospital!
