[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 186684"] difficult child did see a pediatric neurologist for a few years. He has had MRI's and MRA's - all fine. Last year after passing out the neuro did a 48 hour EEG. All is fine. difficult child was put on Topomax for about a year. That proved to have no relief so it was discontinued. Upon discontinuing that, the neuro said there is no need to return. I also suffer from headaches. I have one every single day. Some days only if I shake my head do I feel it, others it is just nagging all day and still the days I cannot open my eyes. I am very well aware of rebound headaches, I have had the same tests and more as difficult child. I have felt the soreness after a migrane, but not the soreness he has been complaining about. After several weeks of headaches I took him in because his "face hurt". That was almost two weeks ago. Sinus infection, put him on antibiotics. Dr. said two days headache should go away. It did not. For the past 5 days he has not felt good at all. Upset stomach, muscles hurting, terrible headache. sometimes he feels hungry and eats only to feel very sick after. The antibiotic he has had many times. We make sure he eats a few crackers, lots of water or milk when taking medication even if he feels sick. I am getting more and more worried. The past five days he has been so sick. the past three days not even getting up. Missed a baseball game last night. His muscles are sore. Been using ice / heating pad. those heat patches too. His neck, back of head, side of head including pain in the area of his ear. His shoulders and arms are also sore. Basically body aches on and off. Pain in stomach comes and goes. Sometimes feeling sick, other times pain. He constantly asks me if he is alright. I told him he may have a touch of the flu with body aches like that. but I have no idea. Yesterday he took his tylenol #3 twice and was waiting the 6 hours to take again when I left for work. I suggested he try benadryl. Could it possibly be an allergy? Recently with ear problems the ENT said his tubes were swollen shut due to allergies. We are not aware of any. I have a friend tell me we go to the doctor way to often. Her son never goes.
