[QUOTE="Andy, post: 147965, member: 5096"] My son started seeing a neurologist for his migranes. He started getting them last fall. Have you ever seen anyone just to address this issue? Our doctor prescribed Gaterade and Vitamin B-2 (50 mg in am and 50 mg in pm) along with a better diet as a preventive. He doesn't get migranes very often anymore. As you are working on each piece of your puzzle, I think it may help to also address the migranes as a seperate issue. There are preventive things you can try (that is what we are doing with Gaterade and B-2). I didn't realize there were several ways to deal with migranes - I always thought you just had to deal with it. I remember getting 2:00 headaches every Spring and Fall for years and years (baromoter changes). People would say, "You don't have migranes. Migranes are only those headaches that disable you to the point of keeping you at home and most likely in a dark room." I have recently learned from my son's doctor that although mild, I was having migranes. Thinking during those hours of headaches were near impossible - I always scheduled no brainer tasks such as filing so that I was still getting work done. When your difficult child is going through the migrane cycle, he doesn't feel well and is having trouble thinking through the head pain. He can not handle problem solving so does not want to take on any distractions, can only do one thought at a time. Distractions are loud and intrusive. He just wants all sounds and movements to stop. Thus the bad behaviors emerge quicker - I know I can become (or atleast think about becoming) rude when I can't think. It is a survival response - I just want people to leave me alone until my brain is clear again. I can't even answer the simpilist question. Your son has probably had enough migranes to know when one is coming on. Has a doctor prescribed migrane medications? Our son takes a higher dose of Motrine when his starts and that has helped a lot. He also can differentiate between a migrane and a regular headache so when he says he has a headache I ask if he needs regular or migrane medications. [/QUOTE]
