Just need some advice from anyone in the know really.
DS(9) was diagnosed with abdominal migraines about 18 mths ago. He was put on medication (sanomigraine) as he was missing so much school because of the attacks, this wasn't meant to be long term.
He has been off this medication now for about 3 months, gradually he is getting more and more attacks....not as bad as previous, he will still go pale and clamy-but no actual sickness happens like it used to. He then has to sleep it off-sometimes an hour, other times 3 hours.
He has also complained of actual headaches-rather than just the tummy aches, i am guessing this is as he is getting older? He has mentioned having 'funny eyes' too. i am guessing visual disturbances that are linked with migraines? he is saying they are blurry and dizzy.
We are coping without the medication (just) but wanted to know if these visual disturbnces will get any worse? They seem to happen the day before he has an actual migrane Do you think i should take him back to the doctor? Or is it something that he will have to get used to?
He has an MRI when he was first diagnosed and it was clear.
Thanks!
