[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 551070, member: 11791"] I guess this will be a shorter version of what Star* said... Barometric-pressure as a trigger for migraines... oh ya, we know about those in our house. The "problem" can start along with all sorts of other puberty-related issues. Ditto on the diary/log/journal - track weather [I]including barometric pressure and direction (up or down)[/I], and food - in particular, the usual triggers, but also anything out of the normal for Duckie. Some of the food triggers (i.e. the ones we have to watch out for) are chocolate, orange juice from concentrate (don't ask why, I don't know - but oranges, and fresh-squeezed oj, don't seem to be a problem), caffeine. Ditto on the pre-emptive pain killers. For more than a year, K2 had to have rx-level pain killers. But the need for those got less as she got farther down the line with full-blown puberty. Oh, and don't just use any old "motrin" - use gel-caps. K2 was told that the fast-acting gel-caps put a lid on the pain far faster - and that's really all pain medications can do, so the faster it kicks in, the better. We use generic stuff for almost everything OTC that we can, but... she gets brand-name Motrin gel-caps, it's worth it. [/QUOTE]
