Looking for a bit of advice if possible.
My DD is 13 nearly 14 and since she started secondary school has had a lot of time off for various things like viral stuff etc. She seems to have a bit of a low immune system and picks up a lot but also has a horse which means in winter she is always out in cold wet etc which doesn't help but she is absolutely devoted to him.
Then last year she started her periods and is floored with them she takes migraines around the first few days so missed quite a lot of time with that. Before lockdown it came to a head she was in tears in the car one morning and refusing to go in so I went in and spoke to her year head who was lovely and came out and got her and we went in for a chat and things were going well she had been in full time for a few months.
Now schools are back (Scotland) & last week she was off on Monday (migraine), had the dentist on Tuesday so missed the afternoon and woke up this morning crying (on her period) saying she feels sick & anxious about going into school & doesn't feel well or want to go ( I think its because she's on her period - I've given her pain killers). The doctor has given her migraine tablets which she takes every night and has defeintly helped but did say they could look at something else (the pill i think) if she is still getting heavy periods, exhaustion migraines etc. I am a bit dubious about her going on the pill so young but would do it if it will help her.
This is the first time she has mentioned the anxiety. She has a big firend goup but is really young in her year so is a bit of a worrier and as she spends a lot of time with her horse she doesnt see her friends from school a lot outside school but has really close local friends through her horse. Last night she was asking me about changing schools...but I have my DS in senior there and its a good school so I think we just need to get to the bottom of whats going on for her.
Any ideas? Thanks xxx
