No there have been no triggers. Only foods have been yogurt topped meusli bars and dried banana chips. They may have been a co incidence but we don't buy either now.
Weather, time of day nothing. Upon reading more about cyclical vertigo the symptoms are worse in the mornings then ease off by afternoon and become bad again in the evening. Which is something Isaac does. We quite often have to sit in the dark until he goes to bed. Light sensitivity is a symptom as well. Which is the only migraine symptom he had.
Hopefully we will get the blood test results back tomorrow. It has something to do with a vit b 12 deficiency and something to do with the way the liver processes things. I'm no dr so some of the things are a little confusing to me.
We tried phenergan today as a reliever. He says he feels less dizzy so it has helped a little. He has done nothing but lay on the couch ALL day. This is his 3rd week at home. No school since the 27th July. Sigh
It's hard to say if Isaac gets pain or not. I just want him better. . Its making dh and I so miserable to see him like this.
Can you remember what sort of treatment you had ? I wish the drs would just do something. They want us to put him on a drug trial but it's a migraine drug and we are hesitant. Surely there is something else.
I had so many tests. Gp gave up. Sent me for CT scans and to a neurologist. I was given a preventative that cost about $80 a month (which was a lot 20 odd years ago!). It worked ok but not perfectly. They changed me to a different preventative which had all but one ingredient the same and that one didn't work at all. The missing ingredient was caffeine so neurosurgeon suggested a glass of coke a day, which stopped them for the most part
I had problems with my neck as well which we later found out was part of the problem. But I can tell the difference between a mechanical (neck) migraine and a chemical (like your DS). I either need the chiro or a crap load of caffeine to get me through them
Isaac is having massage therapy as he has something yuck going on with his neck. No idea why at this stage but the massage lady thinks he is tensing himself up. Which would make sense if you are feeling dizzy all the time. You would tense everything up.
He went to sleep really well tonight. A dose of phenergan at 7 and bed at 7:30. He only called out once saying hs head was spinning. I wish there was something more natural
We have an EEG booked in a week and a new pead next month so I hope someone can do something
