[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 49887"] took difficult child to ER this morning. They gave him valium to calm down then took him for ct-scan. Ct scan was normal. They then gave him 2 tylenol#3 and 2 advil and advised us to give him that every 4 hours and follow up with neurologist. We just accepted that and left. difficult child slept several hours, then continued the 2 #3, and 2 advil. When I left at 10pm for work, he still had a headache with heat on his neck and ice on his head. Looking back, I should of insisted on something at the ER to take his headache away and stayed until it was gone. When I have gone in for bad headaches in the past, they always gave me several shots and by the time I left, I no longer had a headache. difficult child would not accept us telling him he would be ok. Kept asking ER doctor over and over if he would be ok, if he could take that many pills. He seemed to accept the doctors answers. But..left us with no answer. Still headache (not nearly as severe) no reason why. His blood pressure and his pulse were both down a little more than 10 when we left from when we came in. He had been on Topomax about a year. He weighed in at 92 pounds, the least he has ever weighed in the past two years. Plus he has grown taller. I know his waist on his pants is 26" and they are falling off. (the way he likes them!) Yet he still thinks he is fat. [/QUOTE]
