Dd11 has recently started her periods ( 2nd cycle ) and she has got a horrific migraine. I've just gone upstairs as she was being quiet and she's lay in bed sobbing saying the lights / even her breathing is hurting. She had a paracetamol around 3 hours ago for period pain. For now I've put a cold damp flannel on the back of her neck and ice on the front
Migraines are really common in my family, my mum/ sister and I all suffer from them
My mum and sister both had scans for their migraines ( can't remember which type ) and nothing untoward came back and it was just put down to genetics
I don't want my DD suffering like we have, mine can get so bad that I'd happily choose death over continuing with the pain,
What can I do for her? I don't want her to go on the pill ( I can't have it as it causes adverse reactions )
I feel terrible for her, she's autistic and has a really high pain tolerance so to see her sobbing like this is awful. I feel really helpless and guilty,
