Abdominal Migraine

[lloydjam]

I am after any advice please ! My Dd1 is 11 and has had abdominal migraines for about 2 years. Her consultant has just increased her propanalol to 40mg twice a day but it hasnt had any affect. She is now on her third day off school and I am at a loss as to what to do. Does anyone else have any advice on how I can help my daughter as she is in a great deal of pain. thank you

Hi
My 10yr old dds symptoms have been put down to am by the Dr &has put her in Pitzotifen tablets one every evening but can be upped tob2 or 3 if needs be.shes been on them 2 weeks now.
Hers seems to be connected to 'special occasions' such as sleepovers,weddings we've been to etc.we are hoping to try a sleepover this weekend as we stopped them all.
It started about 6/8 months ago.she was previously fine with sleepovers etc.shes go to stay in the tablets for 3-6months then come off then&see how she is.
So far so good but had no 'special occasions' yet since being in them so we will what happens when we do.
You could suggest Pitzotifen to yr Dr see what they say?
Hope u get some help with it.

Hi, thanks for replying! Are her symptoms similar to my son's? We are still unsure of an actual diagnosis, it's been suggested by 3 drs that it's am but no tests done as of yet to rule anything else out.
I've seen a lot of posts stating that medication has been prescribed so I will suggest it when he gets his referral. Does your DD have any side effects?
Thanks again x

Hi
No she doesn't have any side affects so far.we think it's also linked to a change in her sleep habits ie with the sleepovers or if we go out somewhere&she's later to bed than usual&/or she's exited/worried about something.
She's had no tests other than blood tests which all came bk normal so Dr suggested it could be am.
