Hello, I’m 17. For weeks I have been dealing with an unknown sickness that has been coming back after it has been fixed. I have been removed from school for multiple days at a time for this. My mother, however, only believes that I am pregnant. I have comfirmed that I am not, and after speaking with someone in the health field, they believe I have appendicitis and requested that I be taken to the hospital immediately. This is a timely thing, and can easily take my life, especially seeing that I can’t even fight off a common cold easily, my body couldn’t fight off an infection and I’d die. Further, I am exibiting EVERY symptom of appendicitis, and I don’t know what to do. If my mom is refusing to take me, is there any way I can have myself treated on these grounds, especially when I have witnesses?

My symptoms:
Lower right side pain on both the abdomen and the back
A steady fever
nausea/vomiting
headache
difficulty breathing
