    Poor bugger! Sounds like the migraines I had as a kid although I got the pain as well. Not pleasant as all

    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
