My DD (15) started taking migraine about 2/3 years ago, initially she was taking one every couple of months but since October they are becoming more frequent and severe. 2 weeks ago we ended up in A&E.
She gets a full range of symptoms, visual disturbance, numb face, blind spots, pins and needles all over her body, her hearing goes, light sensitivity as well as the horrendous headache and vomiting that goes on for hours/days.
She was initially taking migraleve, then moved onto Sumatriptan and in the last few weeks has been taking a beta blocker propranolol as well ever day. As well as an anti sickness tablet as needed.
I was hopeful the propranolol would help but today has been the shortest between attacks she's experienced.
She is currently sleeping (I think all the meds have knocked her out) but I'm so scared of it ending up as bad as the last time when we were in A&E.
I'm on my own with her and feeling quite worried, like I'm waiting for something to happen. I feel so bad for her.
We have a neurologist appointment at the end of the month. Wish now it was sooner!
