Hi, As Nic said my son suffers from Migraines.. He was just over 3 when he got his first one..
His triggers aren't known exactly but one we do know is yoghurt topped muesli bars and we think Dried Banana chips. (they set him off last month)
He gets one every 6-8 weeks. He starts off with changed behaviour at home. Whiny and very sooky and then naughty. then 1-2 weeks later he complains of being dizzy and this lasts for 5 days.. He has what we think is an aura Migraine. Day 1 and 2 are ok just dizzy and panadol does the trick. Day 3-4 are bad. He either is asleep or very "dizzy" then he vomits. Day 5 he goes back to just dizzy then Day 6 wakes up just fine. they don't always last 5 days. Back in January it only lasted for 2 days but then he got another 2 weeks later that lasted for 1 day..
Isaac has had an ECG ( i think thats the one) where they test for epilepsy and an MRI. Both ruled out anything nasty.. We have chosen to treat his migraines with just panadol as the other medication (imigran spray and periacton) made him feel terrible. Immigran spray worked awesomely but the side effects were sad to see.. Periactin makes him very very very sleepy and he can only have a quarter of a tablet once a day..
If you have any othe questions just let me know.
I am going away tomorrow for 4 days so will be back on Tuesday..
