Posted: October 27, 2004 8:01 PM Post subject: Anyone have children with migraine headaches? |
|
|
My 6 yr. old daughter was diagnosed today as having migraine headaches. I also suffer from migraines.......We had a ct scan done of her head today...thankfully that all came back normal besides it detected a sinus infection! So she's on antibiotics for that as of tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has children who have suffered with migraines?? Poor little thing, I feel so sorry for her. She's on a medicine now...can't remember the name of it. I pick it up at the pharmacy tomorrow.

Mindy,
My sister had migranes as a child, she would lay in the bed and holler her beany cap was coming off..I remember looking up at my Dad and saying "You realize she is not right"....I was the youngest I do remember her having to be in a dark room.. Kiss that darling for me...I am sorry she feels so bad.

Mindy, I get migraines, and we suspect that my youngest may have had her first one about 6 months ago as well. She isn't on any special meds yet, we're still waching. I was 7 when I had my first one, and as you know, that kind of pain is very hard to explain to a little one. I hope your daughter can be helped with meds.
Interestingly enough, I never took migraine medications because one of the severe warnings was always not to if you smoke. Since I quit, I haven't had a migraine either...Headaches here and there, yes, but not my migraines. No idea if that's a coincidence or not, but it just came to me _________________

Dear Mindy,
What a terrible burden for one so young. I suffered with migraines for years and can only imagine what you're going through. My heart goes out to both of you. Surely there's something on the market that will give her (and you) some relief. God bless you both. _________________

Thanks for your replies. I suffer migraines as well and if children get them as bad as some of them I've had I just feel so sorry for any child to have to go thru that. We start meds tomorrow. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get to the pharmacy today since my minivan had to be towed to the shop
That's a whole story in itself....lol.
So, we'll see how it goes. I'll keep you all informed.
Hugs, |
