[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 310226, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. I have struggled with migraines since age 4 and have 2 kids that also have them. There are times I just want to die. I refuse to have the guns my grandfather left to me in my home. If I had easy access to a gun I would end up using it in the middle of a headache. I NEVER want my family to go through that. in my opinion it is worse to watch your child hurt like this than to hurt that way yourself. Do you have a Children's Hospital that you can take her to? Are the docs treating her pediatric neurologists and other pediatric docs? Often teens, esp girls, have trouble with medical treatments because they LOOK like adults and docs can forget that they are different than adults. Some tests must be done differently with children than with adults. Esp EEGs and EKGs. Has this one headache lasted for 2 years, or have the headaches just been more severe and longer in duration than in the past? If it is a 2 year headache then she NEEDS a complete new workup to recheck everything. You may want to check out what the Children's Hospital can offer, and also what some of the major headache clinics can offer. I know several people who have traveled to Cleveland, OH to be evaluated at the Cleveland Clinic ([url]http://my.clevelandclinic.org/default.aspx[/url]) and had great results. I can certainly empathize with both you and your daughter. Not only do I have the headaches, my daughter gets them also. She also has some sort of movement disorder and is in constant pain. It is so hard to watch and not be able to really help. You may also want to talk to a therapist, both of you. NOT that depression or anxiety is the cause. They may play a part, but there really IS a cause other than depression or anxiety. It is just that, well, if you are not depressed and anxious after 2 years with a headache then you really ARE crazy. Know what I mean?? Sending hugs and sympathy. If you have questions, or your daughter wants to connect to someone who has chronic health problems I can let my daughter know. Just let me know via PM. [/QUOTE]
