Kjs, if he wakes up with the headache today, you need to call the pediatrician and/or his neurologist and have him evaluated (if they won't listen to you, take him to the ER).  A headache this long, combined with sore muscles around neck/shoulders, can be something besides a migraine.  You need to know exactly what you're dealing with before you assume it's a migraine.  Not to scare you, but both meningitis and Lyme Disease need to be ruled out.


If it does turn out to be a migraine, you need to take him back to the neurologist (or get a new neurologist) and get your difficult child on medications that are more effective.  My son has had migraines since age 4, and he is completely under control now.  There are medications out there that will work for your difficult child.
