migraine

[hazygirl]

my 5 year old granddaughter has been sent home 3 times this year complaining of headaches and then vomitting had eyesight checked fine, doctor says migraine any one else had this ,any advice pleasex

my friend's daughter suffers from migraines. Not sure whether she started that early though. She was told by a neurologist to cut out: chocolate, cheese, anything with sweetners (you'd be surprised what they are in nowadays!), and fizzy drinks in general. Seems like there are very good drugs out there for migraine but not for kids...

Just wondering... did anybody check whether she spiked a temperature before or with the headaches? My dd (6) does get temperature spikes for no apparent reason which are accompanied by head aches. No idea what is causing the temperature spikes besides a latent virus but pretty certain it's not migraine.

Good luck

Poor thing.

Migraines are uncommon at this age, but can happen. Has she been seen by a paediatrician or paediatric neurologist?

litllelain my friend was told the last thing she should give her daughter is coke... different countries differenent methods I guess

thanks each time she has been at school,so dont know if she had temp before but gone pale complained of head hurting ,then throwing up ,im just worried she has had a lot of worrys lately and i just wondered do these bring them on .

I think I had my first migraine around 5 or 6, still having them now . A range of medication over the years has helped.

doctor says he doesnt want to prescibe anything atm
