[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 187044"] In response to some of the questions: Tordol - I have had that and works well. ER doctor did say he would not prescribe that for home use due to stomach problems causing ulcers. The other drug they were going to try next was Reglin (sp?). I have also had that in combination with tordol. We didn't need to go to a second drug as the tordel worked. I DID have him try benadryl. ENT said his ear trouble was due to allergies (even though he has none that we know of) (and he has seen an allergist) Had the scratch test as well as blood test for food allergies. Regardless, I did have him try benadryl the previous day. His headaches are not only at home, at school, mall, friends houses. he has called to come home from many places due to headaches. Today was one he just could not handle. The sore muscles are normal and expected after this much pain. ER doctor said Excedrin Migrane. Caffiene is good for headaches. Said to take TWO. difficult child is very good about waiting even longer than doctor says to wait. ER doctor said to take Tylenol #3 as last resort. But told him to take TWO. one wipes him out. Tylenol #3 usually makes MY headaches worse. Imitrex does not work for me at all. I have tried that as well as all the other ones in that class. For me Fiorecette does the trick. I have horrible headaches as well as my older son. Not as often as we use to but more than anyone else I know. I have a headache every day. just learn to live with it. I specifically asked difficult child about lights, smells tastes today. He said no. none of that. I will ask for lyme disease testing. My sister had that and was hospitalized years ago. Her problem was she couldn't walk. Had her legs in splints and was very sick. difficult child seems to be fine except for the headaches which totally wipe him out. Especially when they are bad and last weeks on end. I don't know if his upset stomach was due to his headache, medication or something else. He drank a lot of gatorade when i got home with him. But I had to sleep so I can come back to work tonight. I do not know if he drank after that. husband is aware of the dehydration they pointed out. Any more advice or suggestions will be appreciated. I will discuss all options and testing with pediatrician next week. So the more I have to discuss the better. Thanks Well...Today (friday) is our anniversary. Wonder if husband will remember.
