[QUOTE="allhaileris, post: 188082, member: 5663"] I just read the other post, and it appears the doctor thinks it's migraines. I spent 2 months of my Jr year of HS at home with a big fat migraine. It *****. But I still wonder if it's a migraine based on the neck pain. Does he get naseaous? Does he see little lights off to the side of his vision? If it is, cut out the lunch meats and/or hot dogs. NO processed meat. I think cheese is on that list, but I never had a problem with it. There are other foods but I can't remember them as nitrates was my issue. Massage the scalp with fingertips, really work that scalp and get the blood moving. It's the blood vessles on the scalp, not inside the head. You can do this for him, start at the front of the head and go back towards the neck. Dark rooms are great. Often my migraine will make me fall asleep so I can heal. Have him lie down. Make sure he wears sunglasses outside all the time. Avoid bright flashy lights as a preventative. As others have said, too many drugs might trigger it again. Because they can be stress induced, he needs to "think them away" and unstress himself. It's hard, but he's going to have to learn to deal with them and let them no overrule his life. If he's up to it, have him try yoga or meditation. Put the cold pack on the back of the neck. This is where the blood comes in so it'll help cool the entire head. Quite honestly the only thing that works for me isn't legal in every state and he's too young. If he were 18 I'd tell you to make him some brownies :) [/QUOTE]
